Mundungus: the scent of smoke that smokers carry with them, especially after having just partaken (ie. what makes people crinkle their noses and ask, "do you smoke?") I'm in a perpetual mundungus, and it's quite comfortable.

It's a noun, an adjective, and even an adverb, but I like it best of all as an intransitive verb meaning to dawdle.

"Shilly-shally" came out of my mouth recently, and I hadn't heard it in so long, I wondered if I'd just made it up by making small changes to dillydally--but I looked it up, and it's there.

Also, note that shilly-shally is hypenated, but dillydally is run together, if you believe the people at Webster's.

Shilly-shally kicks dillydally's ass--it sounds indecisive and weak, a fitting connotation. If you tell someone not to shilly-shally, I bet it gets them in motion faster than telling them not to dillydally will.

Is in that song in "my fair lady"
get me to the church on time, and don't shilly shally on the way.

another english term is "get on your bike" -in other words don't "shilly shally"-i love both these.

This is a real Web site. Fittingly, it's "under construction."

"Frottage" don't worry if the meaning escapes you, someday it'll rub off on you.

....Harsh and sharp, esp. of speech, temper, etc.
Anna Nicole recently used this in a post and I have to admit that I needed to look it up.Now I am going to try and use it every day.

with respect to the post-holiday season...

pannus- the skin &adipose tissue (aka fat) from the abdomen that hangs down from and around the waist

I have an inkling of it's meaning and I don't know if I'd need or want any more but I just love the sound of it.

Two meanings at odds:

1. Bitchy and reactive

2. Catchy; goin'-on! for real.

There's no need to get snappy. vs. That's a snappy coat you've got on!

Main Entry: any·more
Pronunciation: "e-nE-'mOr, -'mor
Function: adverb
Date: 14th century
1 : any longer
2 : at the present time : NOW
usage Although both anymore and any more are found in written use, in the 20th century anymore is the more common styling. Anymore is regularly used in negative , interrogative , and conditional contexts and in certain positive constructions . In many regions of the U.S. the use of anymore in sense 2 is quite common in positive constructions, especially in speech . The positive use appears to have been of Midland origin, but it is now reported to be widespread in all speech areas of the U.S. except New England.

slang for Vagina. I just think it's so cute.

Snatch is more of a London expression whereas "up North" in Liverpool there are some fabulous expressions for a girls 'bits' .... mainly
MINGE or MARY
Always liked to hear my mates ask me is I was out on the town last night "floggin me Mary"... has such a nice refined ring to it... The other great one is if someone is a la Courtney Love (who DID used to live in Liverpool) is... "a dirty minge"....or another word which I like "SLAG" (Check out British comic magazine "The Viz" for the comic strip The Fat Slags.... a classic should be on Oprahs new Classics books club)

Gorge! I also enjoyed "dirty minge" -- an apt description for a few I know of!

SLAG.
A word my ex-roommate who was Irish from Dublin used to use sometimes. It conjures up images of obese lazy ass good-for-nothing couch potatoes or some repulsive beached whale. The ex-roommate also introduced me to another favorite word: GUTTERSNIPE.

He also used TOE-RAG which I never quite warmed to.

Slag generally means Slut it the most divinely gutteral of senses! Ahh the eloquence of the British tongue... Still my very fave thing of the early 90's was a cartoon in the British "Viz" comic which then came out as a book and video... called The Fat Slags about Northern Birds (like meself!)... going out almost naked at night and stuffed like sausages into size 10s..drinking and cursing and shaggin every bloke in site... the end of the night would be a portion of chips (fries) on the walk home... good Northern joke "How do you tell if a girl from Liverpool has an orgasm? - She drops her chips"

the origin is olde english. it is slang for the vagina.

Never heard of that one....
They usually say "beef curtains" round our way...
