Wordy goodness.

Now that I am 'back', I must remember to post something every now and again. So I thought I'd come up with a (remarkably short) list of four words which everyone out there in the socalled 'real' world should know.

Water your plants and grab a pen and paper, here goes:

  1. Defenestrate: Throw somebody or something out of window: to throw something or somebody out of a window (formal or humorous).
    Example: "Don't make me defenestrate yo ass, bubba!"

  2. Garbology: study of waste materials: the study of a cultural group by an examination of what it discards.
    Example: "He's not homeless, he's a garbologist."

  3. Digerati: Computer experts: people who have or claim to have a sophisticated expertise in the area of computers, the Internet, and the World Wide Web.
    Little known fact: The word 'Digerati' has a very peculiar spelling - it is spelled n. e. r. d.

  4. Borborygmus: Stomach rumble; the rumbling sounds made by the movement of gases in the stomach and intestine.
    Example Did you fart!? Erm, no man, that was borborygmus!

Spread the word.

Cheers

Tut tut! Borborygmus is a sexist word! Women don't fart!
Don't you like men?
