h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Onesense: how a non-synaesthete sees/hears/tastes/feels the world. (i.e. experiencing things in one sense does not create a corresponding experience in another.)

Unisensual ..hmm ..yes I think I grok that.
(pause)
Yes I grok that greatly.
(interuption)
Oh my, Nurse, these pills are jagged tonight!
(pause)
Couldn't help but note, Mandragon, you left out 'smell'.
(pause)
May I call you Mandy?
(longer pause)
Funny how nobody wants to talk about smell any more.

Nurse, the screens!
For personal use, I include smell with taste since they're so similar. Sorry. (I also have an aversion to the word 'smell', just like 'Barclay' and 'proud'- I just don't like them.)
If you called me Mandy, it would no longer be an unusual name, which is unforgiveable. Sorry. You can call me Mandrake, though, which is a correct version and takes about as much time to say.

Fruntlegrout- someone who complains about having to do something they did out of choice. (i.e. You left the washing up for me to do, it's not my job- I did it anyway though.)

"Soon I too was p*ss*ng like a King." - To be said upon having achieved anything spectacular. Especially effective if said to someone after you have just beaten them at something.

"The Information Super Muddy Canal"
"The Information Super Bike Lane"
"The Information Grotesquely Extended Public Library With a Massive Porn Section" - A completely interchangeable set of descriptors coined after having become particularly annoyed with the usual title it recieves. Super Highway indeed.

Oh the hilarity...

Hinternet- which I mentioned much earlier- when the WWW comes up with either things you really don't want, or incredibly obscure things. This covers most of my webbing adequately.

I had come up with internettie for the same thing - from my Aunt Nettie who comes up with similarly obscure and not necessarily appropriate at times.

176645

I envy you just for having an Aunt Nettie.
There are those websites which are picked up on specially because they're 'for women'; they tend to be a bit drippy and sentimental, with some cobbled-together spiritual content thrown in. (The Home-maker's Feng Shui Your Dog page, or similar.) These could collectively be termed the Yinternet.

My connection to H2G2.com on a bad day... the internyet.

Auntie Nettie's weak tea - 'cricket piddle'.

Okay, I use lots of weird unique words of my own but they're mostly not English. But here are a couple:

Knaggle (pronounce the K, like Kernaggle said fast): what a cat does to your legs with its claws before settling down on your lap, or to the small of your back when it jumps on you while you're in bed at 5 a.m.

Bew Bew - "This is yet another example of cheap, melodramatic sentimentality", said at any typical supposedly 'touching' moment in a movie or tv broadcast.

Doffle - a really stupid person

Blommy - a really stupid person

Another one:

'High ooh Blommy!' - "No kidding!" Said sarcastically in an extremely goofy slurry voice when someone tells you something that is extremely obvious.

Hmm... for that last one, I have "and Captain Obvious strikes again!" or "That is a breakthrough in the field of the obvious!"

A question: does anyone have a suitable word for the gunk which collects around piercings?
Sorry if it's distasteful, but I just have to know.

Never having pierced the temple of my body I have to ask about this ..gunk. Is it like toe-jam?
~jwf~

Not at all (all I ever get between my toes is boring fluff, anyway). It's... well, to avoid disgusting anyone here, do you want a full description or just a vague one?

I begin to see your problem. You get belly button lint fluffing between your toes and toe-jam in your belly button ring.
Is that it?

Don't worry about grossing anyone out.

We have smileys to cover that.

Sorry Unmentionable Marauding Pillowcase Mark Two (sXe) (Sign Freedom Petition A544943 ) (South Africans, go to A597459). I thought that everybody knew that what a cat does to your legs with it's claws before settling down is called purgling.

Okayyy... in order to come up with a suitably descriptive word, you can have a detailed description.
It's whitish when wet and turns clear and yellow when dry, rather like sleep. It cracks easily and comes off in lumps. And it is a candidate for World's Weirdest Smell (not that I make a point of noticing, y'understand.)
It doesn't just occur in navel piercings, earrings are also centres of gunk activity. Nose studs are slightly different. (How did you know it was a belly-button ring, though?)

I know the gunk you mean, it can happen if you sleep in them lets be honest, but I have never heard a description of it....except gunk of course. So maybe, it is just ear ring gunk...not very imaginative, but hey, I am admitting to knowing of it.

I was after a universal term to be applied to the Gunk of All Piercings, so no one would have to go into specifics.
