    My Nana (from South West if the country) used to call myself and my cousin rowdlums as kids because we were a bit wild. Have no clue why. Anybody know?

    In my mind, It always makes me think of a conflation of rowdy and hoodlum which is obviously miles off.

    It's actually a great word, thank you President Bush.

    Diarrhoea.

    In my house we call this 'The Squits'.

    Gas word that I'd picked up from a medical board game in the 80's.

    The kids use it now & it makes me grin every time I hear it.:D

    We need to make up a word for "made-up word." I nominate "flad."

    Sounds like you've got that backwards.

    Neologism is perfectly fine.

    ****ehawks is a colonial/seafaring import.
