Silly me--I keep forgetting about the time zones. I guess I've answered my own question--it's 8pm now, so we're behind? I don't know... smiley - headhurts

Here's another one, anyway:

What if you renamed Tuesday "Thing" instead? 1, no one likes Tuesdays, and 2 Thursday is named for Thor, god of thunder, making it ultimately awesome as it is.

Not to put down any Thingites.

An Wimpy is a good day to go down and grab a burger. Now as this thread is for suggestions for new and old words for inclusion in word of the week can we not turn it into a Thing discussion thread. Every time this pops up in my latest conversations I get excited that I will have less work to do researching future articles for the post.

How about
'laxy'
adjective based on lax (itself an adjective!)therefore loose.

and
'haslet' it's a aweful type of roast pig's offal faggot.

The heart, lungs, lights and liver are minced up with some lean pork, seasoned with salt, pepper, sage and onion and placed in the 'laxy' caul. Tie the caul into a bag and roast hanging from the string. Serve with port and mustard sauce.

I think BBCide would make a brilliant word (see: F38024?thread=7238087&post=92876291#p92878690)

Its meaning is: not having survived the BBCiD, thus having lost one's original h2g2 account.
