Self-invented words ...

[MontyVeda]

Cockwomble.
I remember Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory and Orinoco but I can’t recall the Cockwomble so it must be a made up word!

I've only ever seen this word on cycle chat... until today, when someone in my wider FB circle used it describe Mr Trump.

 

[All uphill]

Meanderthals - those who wander off the evolutionary path and into your cycle lane often to be seen pressing the god of phone to their ear in deep prayer

Best ever. I will use that!

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Tealoaders never make their round in the office.

Binjury was doing the rounds a good few years ago. It's an injury sustained whilst binge drinking, and derives from Ninjary... an injury sustained during a Ninja attack



Drink Sensibly

 

[All uphill]

Bedcrumbs. Comes from eating toast in bed.

Flutterby. Butterfly.

Slapbang. A person of no subtlety.

Binjury sounds like a good description for straining your back while putting the bins out.
How about Pimpleton -someone who has the dual misfortune to be both thick and spotty?

Humour is not a universal attribute. I once claimed that [something] was the best thing since bees' knees, only to have it explained to me with pedantic precision exactly what the phrase should have been.

Said pedant was obviously barking up the wrong can of worms.

 

[Dave 123]

Twonk.

Anyone can be a twonk. They don’t have to do much for me to call them such a nasty name.

Not self-invented (at least, not by me): Disremember. I have only come across it a work of either Beckett or Flann O'Brien, and I can't remember which.

Not my ideas but I like:

Underwhelmed.

Every silver lining has a cloud.

I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it.

If you can be overwhelmed and underwhelmed, does to be whelmed mean that you are just managing OK?
Also, just read on Sheldon Brown about a "mono buttocked solution" which after some thought I realised was a polite way of saying "half ar**d solution".

 

[roley poley]

A bit off subject but still a giggle.We have a coffee fund at work and take it in turns to bring biscuits in. When Gary went shave head to hide his male pattern baldness we all brought garibaldi biscuits in.. he took a right huff

I learned that word from cc a few years ago.

 

[Arjimlad]

My family had this word "briggle"

It seemed to mean trying to get something to work properly by manipulating it, taking bits off it here & there, poking it with a screwdriver or generally "fettling" it.

When I moved Oop North to Bristol from Waterlooville I found that no-one understood what it meant at all !
