Trash Towers Dictionary

a/c - art crap. CK's fond term for the means of assuaging my addictions.

BSD - Been Seen Done. Devised while travelling the Great Ocean Road on CK's first Australian trip. Every lookout point was as fabulous as the previous and we got a little bit magnificenced out so rather than pull in we would shout BSD and keep driving.

Now general usage for when a situation is over or beyond repair.

bob - noun. Princess Curly- Wurly's word meaning all sweets, chocolate and yummy things.

blurry - (pr. to rhyme with hurry) Sth African/Zimbabwean term and my favourite polite swearword. Means kind of like bloody but usuable in mixed company. See 'Feck' & 'Eejit'

eejit - Irish term meaning 'idiot'. Suitable for use in polite company. Used by my Aunt Marion.

feck - Irish term used by my Aunt Marion so it cannot be rude!

La Villa de Lamaca - (translates from Ital. as The houseof snails. My 'green' house out in the garden with all my a/c (ref: above) stuff in it. Built by CK and Babyman for me. CK lost his fingerprints over it. I cannot actually get in there at the moment!

lubbard - derived from 'beloved'. Devised by my then two y.o. son b/c unlike his sister he could not say 'Mother Beloved'. Usually prefaced by a noun.

OfStEd - Office for Standards in Education. Bossy civil servants who would like to see every child in formal, full-time education from birth.

Q.I. - Quite interesting.

terence - sobriquet applicable to all small children. Originated with one 'borrowed' child who could not pronounce ' terrorist' .

Look what CK found!

My two love the Cadbury's Gorilla clip (as does CK - but that is a whole Phil Collins thing) and we have just been surfing through YouTube comparing the ad with the real life video of 'groovey Phil Collins'.



Then look what CK found!!!!




I was going to dedicate this to M.M. & V.C. but then I found this one and thought it was probably even more apt.

Just keep going right until the very end.



Listen really hard.




This one is especially for M.M. and V.C. Cheers for the many laughs girls!

Lesley said...

ha ha ha ha ha - just brilliant!! Exactly how long did it take you to find those links?
Either all this Monkee fun is some very welcome and much needed light relief from the mounting pressures of Christmas preparation.

Or we are all barking mad and have far too much time on our hands.

I think, the former :)
