Smowron

I like to make up my own words.

It usually starts out with me mispronouncing something, then I make regular use of it to hide my own ignorance. I like to think I'm improving the English language by creating more versatile wordage.

Here's some of my favourite creations and the definitions. I encourage everyone to start using them as frequently as possible:

Modicrumb

Noun

Smaller than a modicum, particularly in regards to something stupid.

"Borislav stuck a cheese sandwich in his CD drive again. That chap has less than modicrumb of intelligence and there are modicrumbs of bread stuck all over the motherboard." 

Smowron

Noun

A type of person that becomes an utter and complete moron while driving as soon as there's a slight dusting of snow (or more) on the ground (regardless of how good the driving conditions actually are). Said individuals can be readily identified by their insistence on driving 30 kilometres an hour under the posted speed limit. They will also become highly confused while parking due to the slight obscuring of parking lines (particularly in parking lots they commonly use) and will park their vehicle at an angle across three spaces, or simply abandon it in the middle of the parking lot.

"Tibor is such a Smowron.... he abandoned his car across three parking spaces again."

Goozie

Adjective

The sticky and viscous residue left behind on your teeth after eating popcorn. Can also be used to describe any other unpleasant substance.

"I think I should see a doctor... my pee is all goozie."

Perousing, peroused

Verb

To enthusiastically and energetically examine a selection of goods. It may involve dancing.

"Horatio is perousing his way through the selection of ballerina outfits." 

Magmamonious, Magmamoniously

Adjective

Fiery devotion to being noble, courageous and/or generous, especially when sitting in a pool of magma.

"The Lord Protector died magmamonioulsy while saving kittens and puppies from a pool of magma."

I'll amend this entry as I remember more word I've &*#$@^-up in the past.

Free Software for Some, Empty Wallets for Others

As an IT professional (and a cheap bastard), it infuriates me when I see people being roped and lured into spending hard on cash on expensive software solutions when there are a multitude of open source, free alternatives readily available on the internet. Stop throwing your money at greedy corporate executives who certainly don't need yet another fancy chess set (that they don't even know how to use) carved out of some endangered species or another ocean going yacht to add to their fleet. Why spend hundreds of dollars when you can pay nothing at all (most of these software projects accept donations, which I would strongly encourage). You'll feel a lot better donating ten bucks for some fabulous software and keeping the free software revolution going, than lining the pockets of the above mentioned corporate goons. Here's some stuff you'll find useful at home: Gimp : A flexible and comprehensive alternative to throwing hundreds of dollars away for Adobe Photosh...

Christmas Shopping for the Smart

I recently completed my annual July Christmas shopping and a friend noticed the large amount of shopping bags coming out of my car. He casually inquired what it was all for and when I remarked, it was for Christmas, he looked rather puzzled and asked "why now?" Why now indeed? Let's face it, Christmas shopping is an incredible pain in the ass at the best of times... unless you do it in July like the smart, organized people. Let's look at the many benefits of completing the task, six months ahead of schedule. 1. Shopping in shorts, sandals and a t-shirt is a hell of a lot easier than shopping in several layers of clothes, heavy boots, scarves, woolly hat, and heavy fur lined coat. Sure, just like wearing all that crazy winter survival getup, you may get a little warm and uncomfortable lugging all those bags around, but the difference is that I can buy a cool drink, sit out in the shade and relax outside. Relaxing and taking off all that gear just isn't possi...

I got nuthin'

Recently I have received a number of compliments for my blog.  I certainly can't take all the credit... I have to give a special "thank-you" to all the flaming morons I'm surrounded by for supplying me with quality material to complain about. That said, there are unfortunately long periods where I don't post anything because I run low on anecdotes because the morons just aren't being entertaining enough... that or I may be otherwise distracted with my current Minecraft (or Mindcrack as I call it) addiction.   I have considered engineering situations wherein the morons would create some interesting anecdotes, but unfortunately most of these would likely result in a lawsuit and/or jail time. So, in future during the dry periods I will be posting a series of cartoons drawn several years ago by myself and a friend of mine. I don't claim to be the best artist or for the material to be entirely original (it's a little derivative of the Far Sid...
