The Room Where Toilets and Sinks Are, A List
December 18, 2009 at 9:36 pm | In Thoughts | Leave a CommentMy personal preference for what people call that room when asking me where it is, from most to least.
- Water Closet or W.C.
- Restroom
- Bathroom
- Lady’s/Gentleman’s
- Little Girl’s/Boy’s
- Powder Room
- Toilet
- Can
- Head
- Pisser
- Crapper
- S***ter
I have yet to be asked where the Water Closet is. I yearn for the day.
Wurds: “Puh-Jants”

Wurds: “Piffed”
December 9, 2009 at 8:15 am | In Wurds | Leave a CommentA super combination of the words “miffed” and “pissed.” When you’re expecially angry or upset about something, so much that it requires a de-escalation of the mood by introducing a word that potentially makes everyone giggle in light of the situation.
Wurd.
Thoughts: Missed Opportunity
December 6, 2009 at 10:38 pm | In Thoughts | Leave a CommentI think it would have been clever if Apple had abbreviated their applications for the iPhone as ‘appls.’ Possibly too clever. That’s probably why they didn’t do it… many people might think “Oh, that’s just cocky.”
But Apple, if you decide to change it I accept payments by check or paypal. Thanks!
Wurds: “?”
December 2, 2009 at 11:42 pm | In Wurds | Leave a CommentHonestly I couldn’t think of any potential wurds this week. I felt bad just leaving this week’s entry blank though… so I’ll use this space to recommend a fantastic book.
The Deeper Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd
One of my favorite false word dictionaries (one of two that I am even aware of).
Also see if you can check out the original Meaning of Liff which is unfortunately out of print, but Amazon has a few copies.
