w00t!

[Battou]

It is sort of funny, huh? But only nearly as funny as Van poked with a stick. Or, was her the poker, or the pokie?

I dunno....but I got poked the other day.....a lot

this "w00t" word belongs to a subculture I am not involved in, so does "facebook".

I do "google" from time to time though, which also became a verb in a way.

 

[Antarctican]

^^^Hmm, I use google as a verb. Often. And I blame Hertz.

 

[Alex_B]

And I blame Hertz.

That seems like a fair trick .... I will check what failures in my life I could blame him for. :mrgreen:

 

[Alex_B]

oh, and I will take revenge for that snowball ... little Penguin!

Not entirely original though, think you find one or two well documented historical examples where it's been used on a rather larger scale unfortunately

Ah, you got one too? :mrgreen:

After I che(c)ked, I will blame you for documenting my miserable spelling abilities!

 

[Alex_B]

Ah, you got one too? :mrgreen:

Hmm, I see, we should respond simultaneously, from two sides, that will multiply the devastating effect!

 

[Antarctican]

I'm not blaming him for failures, I'm blaming him for constantly posting stuff I have to look up in order to understand. Gotta say, though, the results are invariably entertaining, informative and/or funny. So I wasn't complaining.



Go on, 'youse guys', do your worst. (Hmmmpf, you throw like girls)

I must say I did find it tricky trying to explain why I wasn't personally responsible for both World Wars, the fall of Carthage and the Black Death. Then I ruined it by poking the chief prosecutor up the arse with a stick.

This Spandau place isn't too bad...

 

[spiffybeth]

I hear they have a nice ballet....

 

[Antarctican]

myspace is also a verb. its interesting that facebook made it and myspace didnt.

the runners up were:

2. facebook
3. conundrum
4. quixotic
5. blamestorm
6. sardoodledom
7. apathetic
8. Pecksniffian
9. hypocrite
10. charlatan

Also, a further article I read clarified that w00t isn't yet in the main Merriam-Webster dictionary, although it's in the online open dictionary.

Is it just me, or have you also not heard of words 6 and 8? (I know of Dickens' Pecksniff, but 'Pecksniffian' as a current word??!!)
