New Word for the Day

[LovelyLadyLux]

Cute one. Hope Annie isn't getting into any of the paint, paper and tools! Nothing more fun in life for a dog than running through the house carrying a dripping paint brush in their mouth!!

[Horus]

She has already legged it off with a roll of electrical insulation tape and a rubber sanding block, both later discovered elsewhere in the garden after a long search.

[LovelyLadyLux]

At least they were not discovered as buried bodies!

[Horus]

Luckily she seems to have passed the digging stage, maybe because she cannot climb into the big plant pots anymore

[LovelyLadyLux]

Little Annie should be pushing the mid-young adult stage. I'd be thinking (unless I've lost track of time which is always a distinct possibility) Annie should be past most of her puppy stuff by now.

I came across 'Gongoozler' today in connection with my new thread.

Apparently it means a person who observes or is interested in activities on inland canals.

A bit like a trainspotter for narrow boats.

[Horus]

@ LLL, yes she has calmed down a bit now, but still gets over excited when visitors arrive and still thinks the cat is something to play with.

@ Grandad, an excellent word and with my love of walking the canals and inland waterways I shall now describe myself as a 'Gongoozle-ing' photographer.

[Grandad]

I thought that one would appeal to you H

[LovelyLadyLux]

Gongoozler! I'll have to remember to tell the twins that word. They love saying big words and sometimes when they say them the sound of the word comes out quite cute. This might just be one of them - gangoozler.

[LovelyLadyLux]

CAVIL - that is my latest newest word - not that it applies to anybody on here. We don't do this

[LovelyLadyLux]

My latest 'new' word IMO isn't really a word but apparently it is - MOODLE. Maybe the young 'uns know what MOODLE means and their Teachers/Educators might use it but I hardly doubt I'd ever be able to use it in a sentence. I'm not a Moodler.

[Horus]

That's a new one on me, but I doubt if I Moodle (whatever that is )

[Grandad]

According to Wiki, it is:

Moodle (acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) (stylised in lower-case as moodle) is a free software e-learning platform, also known as a Learning Management System, or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). As of June 2013 it had a user base of 83,008 registered and verified sites, serving 70,696,570 users in 7.5+ million courses with 1.2+ million teachers.[3]

So it would seem you don't Do It, Eat It or Drink It, but probably Join It and Use It

[LovelyLadyLux]

Heard it on TV (Moodle) and had to look it up on Wiki myself. Hardly seems a 'word' and personally I'd of called it an acronym however then I thought that maybe acronyms can be words

[LovelyLadyLux]

ZABERNISM~!! Even pronounces nicely

The clue: Am thinking there was lots of Zabernism in El Salvador (and lots of other places too)

[Grandad]

Wow! I had to Google that one.....but I see where you are coming from.

[Horus]

Likewise, I had to look that one up, but I can see where it applies to several destinations.

[LovelyLadyLux]

ZABERNISM - unknown word to me but when I looked it up - interesting definition.

[Horus]

Mmm, a word that could be applied to quite a few regimes around the world.

[LovelyLadyLux]

Am not going to dance around about this one - CORYBANTIC

What is your style when you're doing the old soft shoe?
