May 16, 2020 - 246 - "Whosiewhatsit In a Word?"





What's That Weird Word?


Me:  We've got junk mail coming out the wazoo.

Michael:  "Yes, we do."  (He starts to walk out of the room but comes back to
ask:  "What is a wazoo, anyway?)  

Me:  Hmmm...I guess I don't really know for sure.  I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of the hoo-ha and the bo-hiney

Funny Words

   Private parts are always rich sources of funny words.  I especially enjoy "caboose", "rump", "rumpus", "bohunkus", cooter", "kiester", "tuchus", and "hoochie".

    I started a list of funny words somewhere, but I seem to have hidden it from myself.  I tried doing a search on the website for things like 'funny words' and 'bohiney.'  But I can't seem to locate it. 

I'll have to start a new list.  I added the fun words listed above, plus these:

-Malarky
-bamboozle
-cattywampus
-lickspittle toadie
-bumfuzzle
-diddly-squat (Say this one a time or two.  It's very entertaining.)
-doohickey
-doomaflahchy
-snickerdoodle.




How Do You Talk Nonsense in A Foreign Land?

   The short answer would be to try to speak the local language.  

   It's even true when you travel to "English"-speaking countries.  There's a lot of room for misunderstanding.

   I am wildly entertained by all Scottish slang...and proper English spoken with a Scottish accent for that matter.  This might be genetic.  Or it might just be because the Scots use language way-cuter than anyone on the planet.  (And I'd fight anyone who tried to say otherwise.) 


    Here's my favorite Scottish insult:  (I studied up on their slang before we visited Scotland a couple of years ago and learned they are especially good at creative swearing and random insults).

        "Yer arse is out the windae!"  (We would say you're full of crap....but this is so much more expressive.  Aye, lad/lassie?)

  I guess I'd better get off of my heiny and go see about that thingamabob I was working on.

Daily Hits of Happy


  •     Today my favorite 'Hit of Happy' came from Michael whispering these sweet nothings in my ear:


                 "If you're going to sit outside, you might want to put a sweater on."

             (Swoon.  A girl doesn't hear that much in Texas past April.)


  •     A rainy day at home, knowing my dad's garden is getting a really good soaking.

It makes my laziness seem classy."
