Word of the day!
Word is born.
Achievening
A productive evening in which you have accomplished something.
E.g.
That dinner was amazing, I can’t believe we didn’t think to just microwave it!
Indeed, what an achievening.
Word of the day!
Masticate
1. To chew (food)
2. To grind and knead (rubber, for example) into a pulp
I’ve noticed how little this word is used by lyricists, it would work especially well in rap music in my opinion. All MCs reading this: try and give a little mastication to the nation in your next rhyme, yeah?
I’ll leave it with chew… (sorry)
Suburban Dictionary
Show Walter to the Raleighs
Suburban slang for heterosexual intercourse – with reference to Sir Walter Raleigh’s journey south to discover the ‘City of Gold’
Word of the day!
Sanctimonious (Adj)
Pretending to be very religious and virtuous
Speaking on her early release from jail, Paris Hilton said she was “extremely ashamed of her actions” and “thanked God” for showing her how to be a better person. She is planning to write a book on how her faith got her through those five gruelling days and will be visiting correctional facilities to express the importance of God and how to live a Christian life.
The sanctimonious bitch.
Blinguistics
Peng
Used to describe someone who is attractive
“That girl is peng you know!”
Not to be confused with Penge (London Borough of Bromley) which isn’t quite as desirable.
Pet hate.
People using words incorrectly to emphasise their point annoys me, a lot.
I won’t mention names Fearne Cotton, Reggie Yates and Nick Grimshaw but several of the younger Radio 1 presenters have an infuriating habit of saying ‘random’ and ‘literally’ in nearly every sentence.
Par exemple:
“We were at the Radio 1 big weekend yesterday and it was so cold my hands were literally falling off. Then we missed the bus, random!”
Stop it, JUST STOP IT!
Literally (adv)
1. In a literal manner; word for word
2. In a literal or strict sense
Your hands were not literally falling off, you idiot!
Random (adj)
Lacking any definite plan or prearranged order
SO IT WAS NOT RANDOM, WAS IT?!
You are broadcasting poor use of the English language to the masses, fix up!
I bet you say ‘Haitch’ instead of ‘Aitch’ (H) too, don’t even get me started on that one!
Grrrrrrr.
