    Wow, he really likes his normal words... whats the bet that he'd implode if you said 'knickerbocker' or 'splendiferous' to him

    People say profanity comes from lack of vocabulary. That's not true. I know at least a 127 words and I still like "Fúck" the best...

    the monkey thing works with "arse" as well. monkey arse being the combination of both

    psuedo- is my fave prefix. -ish for suffix.

    And the word would have to be inuendo

    Pardon my pedantry, but it's 'bric-a-brac'. There's an accent on the first 'a', but I don't know how to make that. Good words, though.

    Is that as in 'Confessions of a Crap Artist' by Philip K. Dick? Probably not. If not, what does it mean? An artist of crap, as in waffle?

    If I was to start a worst words ever thread "Gobnait" would abso****inglutely be right up there at the top of the list.
