Hi
I read through the first 100 or so posts, but a boy *has* got work to do...
Here's mine:
broccoli
baboon
balcony
spatula (I love spatula)
weasel
beachball
(a complete aside...my boyfriend came up with "madder than a hat full of weasels" and it remains our favourite term for someone who is a bit bonkers...only topped by "madder than a weasel full of hats"...)
Also, in a previous posting, someone said they only use anal as a verb...HELLO? Maybe it's just me... I spent ages (well, a couple of minutes) trying to work out how...
That's all
Afrael
Oooh, oooh, on the subject of place names, I used to drive through a collection of villages near Andover called the Wallops (Upper, Middle and Lower Wallop, I believe). There is a defence company there called Wallop Defence Systems... Makes me think they've just got big hammers and go *WALLOP"... Well, *I* thought it was funny...

well..amy says Anal can only be an adverb..not a verb..so ner...(and I'm sure she would be the one to know).
Anyway, I prefer 'mad as a balloon'

Can't anal be an adjective as in "that paperclip collector's a bit anal, huh?"...?
*I* don't know...
Let's not fight on my only second day back in, like, 7 months..

Falafels. I didn't mean verb, I meant adjective.
But it could be used as a verb to mean irking someone- "stop your analing, fool."

If you are going to have "haploid" you might as well have "diploid" and "Meiosis" and "Mitosis."
"Anal" is not really a verb insult but is often used by americans as a shortening of the term "anally retentive" which is a description of a type of neurosis found in Fruedian psychology. Anal-retentives are also known as navel-starers, shoegazers, incurable neurotics or Woody Allan.
Another great word is "stopcock" which we always used in chemistry at school when using burettes and had all the kids in hysterics (we were young okay!)
I don't think there is anything wrong with the word Vagina. I even find the word "V***a" quite alluring. You have to admit that it's better than the alternatives. One word I hate to hear has the same meaning but begins with a "C" and I wouldn't be allowed to say it in this forum without having my post hidden for obscenity.
I we are allowed sayings too. "As mad a chimpanee dancing on a unicycle."
I was the king of self-depreciation for a while and could come up with some (mildly) humerous lines like:
"If I was any more shy, people would throw coconuts at me."

What would you call a dog that is the result of a cross between a bulldog and a shitzu?
That is just something I have always wondered.

I'll go along with shrubbery (but that's obviously a leftover of too much -if possible- Monthy Pyton movies!)
But 'wombat'? (Is it an actually existing word? There's this strange kind of monster in a European comic that is called 'wombat'.)
It's weird, since wombat *does* sound funny although 'combat' doesn't at all...
