Erm... typing made up words into your browser's address bar sometimes backfires!

Partly through boredom and partly because I'm searching for unused names for my own URL I started typing made up words between www. and.com (hey, there's one to try - www.and.com)

Eventually I tried 'fleem'


Warning: QUITE SERIOUSLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. (nothing illegal, just very, erm, not safe at all for work)

www . fleem . com

They're also so white. I never realized how almost all girls are white.

I don't think I get the lollipop-as-dildo thing. It just looks like a yeast infection on a stick to me.

Typing made up words into the browser window is now my new hobby.

Most of these sites are just click generators - thumbnail pages leading to more thumbnail pages leading to etc etc, with just enough actual content scattered around to keep you clicking. Eventually all roads lead to someone's Join page or another.

Or so I'm told!

So what was your "fleem" going to be about?

Interestingly, "fleem.net" appears to be an online gaming community. Coincidence? Or simple efficiency?

As it happens, "fleem" actually is a real word: it's Middle English for "phlegm." Which has potential applicability for both internet porn, and gamers!

So go for it Lobsang! There are other domain suffixes yet available! For example, "fleem.us" appears to be wide open, so to speak. Coax all your phlegmy, porn-fueled gamer audience to your new site, and invite them to get their fleem on!

Isn't fleem something you have too much of in your spoo, according to a Dilbert cartoon?

(hey, spoo . com isn't safe for work either! Let's see how tolerant my college is.)

At least in the case of spoo . com you get a 'safe' landing page. fleem just leads you right to the 'goods'.

Well I don't know what the website is going to be for yet, and the word 'fleem' was just one of those words you can create from nowhere that don't (as far as you're concerned) mean anything particular.

My reasoning in this particular case was that a website url that describes what the website is for (even if there is a 'for' which there isn't) would be boring. So if I can find a word that yields a cool url (such as broomsporg.com) without having to describe what the website is for, then that would save having to find a url that 'fits'.

I take it you're not aware that "broomsporg" is the generally accepted abbreviation for "broom sphincter-penetrating orgasm," then.

Well, it's generally accepted among the broomsporging community anyway. See www.broomsporg.org for details. (Warning: NSFW)

What's nice here is that googling 'broomsporg' has one hit, which is....this thread.

Just in case anyone was thinking of shopping for rollerskates on line and thought Dick's Sporting Goods would be a good place to try, whatever you do, don't forget to include the "sportinggoods" in your search.

I noticed that page had one thumbnail of a chick and a dog. Considering that typing random name could take one to whatever is behind that (and possibly worse), I shall refrain from doing so.
