Words you wish your language had.
 

This game is for anyone, anywhere, but perhaps has a special piquancy for the Amurricans and the Brits here. Who knows?
Anyway, I would like to claim dumpster from our friends stateside for use in Britain - what a great word, so much better than skip, doncherknow?

The alliterative qualities of "dumpster diving" make it the go to word of the month.

I've really liked manky ever since I'd seen it used here on teh cellar. It's like "monkey" and "skanky" had a baby!

I think ish should be a word on its own, meaning approximately.

"Drive ish three miles north and turn left."

"A new computer is ish $900."

Who am I? My name is Ish

On my hand I have a dish.

I have this dish to help me wish.

When I wish to make a wish

I wave my hand with a big swish swish.

Then I say, "I wish for fish!"

And I get fish right on my dish.

So...

If you wish to make a wish,

you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.

I've had the phrase "I wish I wish I wish for fish" coming into my head every once in a while for a long time, and was unable to track down the prase. It must be a corrupted version of Seuss!

I would like a word to describe the situation where food smells so much better than it tastes. It's a very specific kind of anticipation/ disappointment.

French and German have second person plural case and pronoun, but English is lacking, fortunately the southern US has filled this void with "y'all"

Very handy, probably sounds a bit funny when I say it, but then y'all can go whistle dixie.;)

I wish my work lingo included: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ARE YOU A FUCKING MORON CAN YOU NOT READ OR WERE YOU TEMPORARILY BLINDED OR MAYBE YOU'RE STILL DRUNK?

edit: and that's for my cow orkers!

Sigh.

But really, when I want to say "that really throws a wrench in the works" I have to make myself say "wrench" because I so like the British (is that the right classification?) word spanner better...as in "Well, that really throws a spanner in the works."

To really bring it up to speed. :D

You need to do a circular motion with your hand (pointer finger), parallel to ground, to indicate "all of you in this immediate area up around here."

that's what I thought too :lol:

ur a tool

She totally hats you.
