Defenestration - do you know it?
Means killing yourself by throwing yourself out of a window.
I knew it
It can also mean to throw
someone or something out a window, and it doesn't necessarily have to kill them either.
Okay I get it
my word's crap and I can't even explain it properly. Plus everyone already knows what it means. I will now perform a practical definition of it as a demonstration of my general failure.
Someone used 'Queen's Nose' as an adjective today
as in the program. God knows what he meant.
Give the context
and I bet I can work it out.
We had to do presentations in college
and he described someone as 'totally queen's nose'.
.
How much do I owe you?
50p?
Fuck off!
Don't take the piss.
25p?
Alright
But you owe me a favour.
he just means she's snotty
That is really fucking weird
I'm researching financial terms at the moment for a project we're doing and I just had to look up fungibility.
HOWZABOUT THAT THEN?
Gertrude stein says that's enough?
I know that thats not...
oh hang on i've got that wrong haven't I?
:D
EXACTLY what I was thinking.
fuliginous
An adjective describing a particular variety of sooty darkness.
Nottlobb
Latin for bollocks.
