R. Linda:
It seems you and I have had this ongoing discussion on new words or old words made better and I, for my part, have been compiling a dictionary of sorts. Here be a new word followed by an old favourite updated.
Packratism: /'paekret izm/ noun, system based upon hoarding crap that no one else would want and acting like it is precious property; political theory advocating storing and crowding crap into many rooms in order to reduce the amount of living space for a human being; form of bundling together more and more crap until one is overflowing in junk. (You thought I was going to say crap. Ha! Fooled ya).
Without mentioning the name R. LINDA, I know someone who I write to frequently, who is guilty of the above. She wanted to know if that word existed, so I made it exist. Add it to your dictionaries ladies. And then the next one (below) compliments of Mr. and Mrs. Weasil and an unnamed Irishman, I just cannot remember the name of . . . cough.
Amuck/Amok: a'muk/ adverb, to run in the snowy woods and be brought down by a woman with a gun, OR Mrs. Weasil gets lucky.
(Mr. and Mrs. Weasil think hiding in the woods from one another with paintguns is great fun, especially in the snow. Problem is, Mrs. Weasil is coordinated (more than I can say for her significant other. Ah come on, you've seen him hanging off cliff faces, he's just so clumsy). This plays as an advantage to Mrs. W, and well every time Weasil thinks he's safe in his white jumpsuit, blending in with the snow, with reindeer antlers on his head, he gets paintballed big time with lots of cheery colours. I actually watched as she bagged him, and him lying face down in the snow groaning, and was unceremoniously dragged by the right leg down the slope and to the car park. I actually thought she meant to skin and eat him. BUT she didn't. More's the pity because then I could add cannibalism by paintball to me dictionary.)
Okay, we are adding it, and this is YOUR R. Linda word, after much discussion, or one sentence of debate. So here goes.
Canni/paint/ballism: 'ka'nee' pa' in t' bawl' izm: noun, the sport of hitting a weasil with multi-coloured paint balls, dragging his sorry arse through a forest and then mounting him to the top of a car and driving off for dinner later.
There you are. Nice, neat, and tidy new words to go with neither tidy nor nice explanations. Oh, blame it on the GLOOM.
