    I'd also be delighted if you'd add 'tarted up ethnopoetics' to that list.

  • Madmouth:

    You are not imagining the word, because I too have a pair of lines in my head, something like:

    "he's got no feloorum,

    he's lost his dingdoorum"

    But I have no idea how the words in question might actually be spelled.

  • It's birds and bees (and begonias), rather than the facts of life, if that's what you're wondering. But remember, pretty-pretty words only! I'm sure you have a bazillion.

  • I take it you're not in Vancouver just now, which is a shame because it's a stupendously beautiful morning! the kind that makes your earlobes tingle and your voice box quiver in a joyous contralto.

  • I'd love to see more SCBM (BSCM/CSBM/CBSM?) words on Wordie (like mrš!). It's a language I'm picking up in bits and pieces, partly because it occasionally crops up in Slovene texts (often in the form of swear words, which Slovenes claim all derive from army Serbian).
