    Do you and friends/family have any odd phrases or "non words" that you like to use?

    Further to a programme I heard on BBC Radio 4 I was thinking today...
    Do you have any odd words or phrases that you and your family or friends use? It could be a word used out of context or perhaps a completely made up word. It might be something you use at work, something you grunt whilst training - anything.
    Having consdered this in the shower today me and my friends use the following:

    Moist- Used in the place of good/spectactacular/excellent/attractive. Eg, "She is moist" or "This meal is moist".

    Highly succulent- again, used to replace good/spectactacular/excellent/attractive. Eg, "Today I saw a highly succulent Aston Martin".

    Whim Diddley- A noise of delight or exertion, usually shouted!

    Spewing- Used to replace angry/fuming/livid. Often asked as a greeting. Eg, "Are you spewing?"

    Reaping- Usually used to oppose the notion that one is "spewing". Often used to represent that one is pleased. Eg, Q- "Are you spewing?" A- "Reaping actually"

    Destroying- Performing a task well and with great gusto. Whether this be eating quickly whilst enjoying it or used as a blanket term for "getting on well with another in an amorous fashion".

    Sampling- If a friend is getting to know someone they like and displaying this fact physically then sampling is used as a polite and non-graphic representation of this. It may have many permutations covering all of the "bases". "Destroying" may also be used...

    Whomping- Used to convey desperation. Also used to represent hitting something very hard, usually with a stick. Eg, "I am whomping for the toilet..." or "Wow, he gave that a good, stern whomping..."

    Whop- To do somthing in a fast, enthusiastic or careless fashion. Also used to mean "hit" Eg, "Oh, just whomp it in there" or "

    Despite being a student I like messing about with language, especially since I am so constrained in terms of creativity doing a BSc where everything has a name and a place and an order.

    Do you lot have any odd little phrases that you are willing to share?

    That's good to know...in terms of transferability they are rubbish but with the right people and in the right context, they are fine.

    Hesculation - the hesitation you do before stepping on an escalator.

    Doberboy - a miniature doberman (my parent's neighbors had one - funny little dog that acted tough until you confronted it and it peed on the spot)
