The fairy makes a fun noise when you shoot it and it hits a tree smiley - biggrin. I can't remember much more than that...smiley - laugh

And "Maintignity" is the result of spending toooooo many hours playing Resident Evil....three I believe it was, in the dark. *giggles* M'buuuuddy Gazz is playing, running down a corridor that has a particularly tricky camera angle to navigate. The sentence goes a little something like this "Now, let's see if I can maintignity this time"

We believe it is a contraction of "Maintain Dignity", but we're not sure. smiley - silly

Good word, for the player in a hurry... Where did you get a fairy to experiment on? smiley - fairy My sister always said that there should be a word to describe someone who has integrity. (Cos integral ain't it.) Maybe someone can do a lexicon of useful new words? Me, if I wasn't too lazy/busy... I started a new paper, Language Teaching Practice yesterday. Aaarggghhhh!smiley - aliensmile

The fairy thing wasn't as much a practical experiment as it was theoretical. We know fairies make cute noises, and we know that people make wierd noises when hit in the gut by something fast moving, so we came to the conclusion that a fairy hit in the gut by something fast moving would make a wierdly cute, or 'fun' noise smiley - biggrin

I hope I can go to work tomorrow, being home is driving me smiley - batty

Cheese, I like your resident evil inspired word. A recptionist where I work has a word nunu noun: pertaining to anything slightly technical for which the name escapes you at the time. smiley - smiley

Glad to finally see last night on TV someone mention the a vote for NZFirst was (and may still be) a vote for national.

We have the same problem. Jimmy wants to watch the election, and I'm torn, despite my feelings about it, I don't want to miss 'EFC'. It hurts so good! Jimmy may decide on 'Total Recall 2070' when it comes down to it...smiley - smiley
