Chris.... I've got more 'unfavourite' words for things than the other wau round...
I had a friend from Birmingham that called everything a THINGWY.... it made me cringe!
And.... one of my bosses called everything or everybody an ARRANGEMENT. We worked with a very nice gay guy.... but she called him a FLORAL ARRANGEMENT !!
Incidentally.... she was totally stupid and a complete b*tch and I hated working for her. :x

Yep folk always seem to understand my inate ramblings, Lee there is a one horse town in North Oregon USA called Doofa ( duffer) we visited it once, Susue may have heard of it.
We visited a bar there called "pastimes"with friends and there was this very drunk very old guy who kept getting off of his barstool and walking across the bar and straight into the opposite wall.
After he had done this 2-3 times the bar tender called his son to come and get him, when he had gone the bartender explained that for many years there had been a door in that wall, and each night the old guy would come to the bar and get drunk and walk into the wall forgetting that the door wasnt there any more.................. bless, this will be us lot soon :lol:

my favourite is waffknackery or waffknack

a waffknack is some one who faffs around too much, doesn't know what they are doing etc

waffknackery is basically the same

the word came about from someone I work with who was talking about the way the department was being managed or not as the case was :lol:
crazy by name.....crazy by nature :snig:
