    What with Garth Brooks and Mick Wallace in the news lately, the words clusterfúck, schadenfreude, gollywog and fiasco have been flying around a lot. What are your favourites? These are mine:

    Shart- When you fart and a little poop comes out.
    Fartlek- A type of variable intensity training regime
    Hootenany- A gathering of people for a folk or country music session.

    Someone called Garth Brooks or Mick Wallace a Gollywog? I fear they may not know what this actually means!

    Shomiting - the act of vomiting and sh1teing at the same time, usually alcohol induced.

    I can't think of any reason why it would have been either acceptable or accurate to use that word in relation to those two.

    In a place I used to work, one of the engineers had developed a set of "technical" acronyms for faulty equipment

    FFF Fúcking Fúcker's Fúcked! for something that required extensive work on to be repaired, or more often he couldn't fix!
    and
    FFFF Fúcking Fúcker's Fúcking Fúcked! for stuff that was fit only for scrap or spared.

    If you ask an Australian lady to show you a place on her Mappa Tassie (short for Map of Tasmania), things could get a bit ... hairy. :eek:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
