| Ah, I had so many... I'll see if I remember them and if I do, I'll edit it here. I suppose my faulty knowledge of english helps me make up for what terms the language's missing [;p] |

I use the term monkeysticular from time to time; a contraction of testicular and spectacular (and also monkey).
And when something is bad; I say that it 'sucks monkey balls'. And when it's really bad, it 'sucks monkey balls by pack of twelve'.
I tried to use 'it sucks gorilla balls' instead but it does not roll on the tongue nearly as well (as any good monkey ball should. I guess).
I am not sure where my linguistic obsession for male monkey's genitalia crept in from. But I blame evolution. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

| Kilbonics: The use of creative spelling. An adaptation due to a heritable genetic predisposition for bad spelling coupled with a willingness to forge ahead anyway causing the reader to edit, laugh, cry or otherwise politely ignore the problem... |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Longpayer - (scientific term: diu venalicium peculium) – A person at a supermarket checkout who, though technically at the head of the line, does not proceed to the counter but instead insists on paying by stretching from the end of the conveyor belt, with cash in hand over many groceries, past the countertop and on to the cashier.
