New meanings for words (Satire - being exhausted when you sit down)
« on: October 01, 2019, 05:48:49 PM »


Following on from some posts and suggestion from trentvoyager on the Going Off Topic thread, a thread for suggesting new meanings for old words.

To start - Government: meaning a loss of control. Sentence: I got such a fright, my bowels went full government.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Corbyn - receptacle for well-meant but out-dated ideas, such as eradicating poverty and defending the NHS.

Johnson is of course already in slang usage as a word for penis. Fits right in really - lying prick.

Private life = groping women without consent. Usage: The private life of the PM isn't something I am going to discuss.

See, that's a noun, I'd have it as a verb...

Corbyn - to engineer a situation where your own ineptitude stands you in good stead ( for instance, planning to renegotiate a deal with Europe to put to the nation in a referendum where you plan to campaign against it...)

Countryside - the murder of Boris Johnson.
Eggs Benedict - the last pope's favourite breakfast (ex-Benedict - geddit? Oh well, please yourselves.)
Satire - anger on first day of the weekend.

This is essentially ISIHAC's 'Uxbridge English Dictionary'. I vote the thread gets re-named accordingly.
