A friend and I came up with a new word the other day. We were gossiping about my pal, Greg, who is a decent bit of a male slut. She mentioned that he is quite gregarious. Then she said, “no, gregatious”. I said, “no, you had it right the first time”. Anyway, this rather pointless story results in the use of the word, “gregatious” to mean a fellow that is a dude who sleeps around aplenty. Feel free to use it at your discreation. ---

A “bloob” is a blob filled with hot air. “Fruel” is a pattern cut into grassy areas such as baseball fields and golf greens. “frillinquitous” is the feeling one gets when waiting for SDMB to load. It is in danger of becoming the general term for being on SDMB. [ul]\*\* [li] Ditechaphobia[/li][li] koit[/li][li] quonce[/li] sex\*\*[/ul] ---
