Latibule

It means a cosy, safe place, hidden away from everyone which is special to you. It’s the sort of place where, on frory days, you can kick off your shoes and settle down in your huffle-buffs, maybe for a bit of firkytoodling or just to relax. See also Hibernacle.

Everyone should have a latibule so that they can get away from unwelcome demands on their time.

Fart Fact 10

This is a fact, not wishful thinking. If you’re a woman, a fart can really take you by surprise. One woman took to Social Media to ponder something strange that happened to her when she farted. She asked the question "Do you ever fart and the fart goes past your vagina and your labia moves?" She had hundreds of responses from women who had experienced this phenomenon which, apparently, is called a vart.

“Kim’s just let go a vart.”
“How do you know?”
“Her snatch wobbled, Fart Fact 10.”

Fart Fact 13

Holding in a fart won’t harm you. You're not going to explode or damage your gut, but sooner or later your body is going to get rid of that gas, so why not consider letting it go when it will have the most effect.

“Mikey got slung out of church!”
“Why?”
“Well, he knew fart fact 13 and was holding one in. The vicar got up to do the sermon and his text was from Proverbs, ‘I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon’ and Mikey let it go!”
“What happened?”
“Half of the people were outraged and half were pissing themselves, and Mikey got slung out.”

Lunting

Lunting is a verb meaning to walk around while smoking a pipe. Tobacco was first brought to Europe by the Spanish in 1528 and the word ‘lunting’ is almost as old, first appearing somewhere around 1540 – 1550. Lunting is what pipe smokers do as a means of stress relief or to relax although it should be remembered that in large quantities tobacco can be hallucinogenic and the exercise will increase respiration rate, heart rate and may speed the absorption of any hallucinogens.

Additional meanings for lunting are emitting smoke or steam from a pipe and lighting a fire, torch or tobacco pipe. The word itself comes from either the Dutch word 'lont' meaning a slow match or fuse or the Middle Low German 'lonte' meaning a wick.

"Where’s Charlie?”
“Dunno. He’s got hold of some really strong baccy and said he was goin’ lunting.”

Neology

It is a noun with at last four meanings:
1 The study or art of creating new words.
2 The act of introducing a new word into a language.
3 The use of an existing word in a new way.
4 The holding of novel or rational religious views. (Although this definition is now largely obsolete.)

1 Neology is a hobby of mine.
2 I’ve just had a new word accepted by the Oxford English Dictionary. Neology!
3 Urban Dictionary is a catalyst for neology
4 Believing that we are all just the dream of a sleeping cat is not necessarily a neology.
