For two days now, the phrase HOOBA PORKRIND! has been going through my head.
HOOBA PORKRIND! -
I'm probably unofficial leader of the HP fan club. I even made a pilgrimage to his home town where I managed to get my hands on a history of Bairnsdale that is just breathtaking.
I'll accept the compliment if you'll point me to the Blushing Room! -
HOT DOG. second to the OED, you're my favourite thing about the internet, bilby

You might like the stories of Hal Porter.

I was just wondering about that the other day. I work downtown so I can drink coffee, eat sushi, and all manner of other things pretty much whenever I want. My email's on my librarything profile.

I've added a link to your fine Reduples list in the description of my list of Scots reduplicative words.

Madmouth:
You are not imagining the word, because I too have a pair of lines in my head, something like:
"he's got no feloorum,
he's lost his dingdoorum"
But I have no idea how the words in question might actually be spelled. -
You're back! *somerflipouettes in joy*

Oh, I was only in metaphorical stitches about something you wrote. Still, I made a full recovery :-)

Congratulations on reaching 1000 comments! And in such a short time! Your contributions are much appreciated and enjoyed.

madmouth, what frogapplause said!

It's birds and bees (and begonias), rather than the facts of life, if that's what you're wondering. But remember, pretty-pretty words only! I'm sure you have a bazillion.

Would you call an inhabitant of jeju a jejune?

I take it you're not in Vancouver just now, which is a shame because it's a stupendously beautiful morning! the kind that makes your earlobes tingle and your voice box quiver in a joyous contralto.
-
Madmouth: I'm enjoying your comments and word lists a lot!
-
I'd love to see more SCBM (BSCM/CSBM/CBSM?) words on Wordie (like mrš!). It's a language I'm picking up in bits and pieces, partly because it occasionally crops up in Slovene texts (often in the form of swear words, which Slovenes claim all derive from army Serbian).
-
Thanks for the additions to and citations on Yiddishkeit, they're great. Much appreciated!
-
To madmouth: Fate is like that.
To C_B and Pro: I suppose my passions for Baltimoriana and Ljubljaniana (and more generally Sloveniana) can seem confusing. -
I know for sure that he (he?) mentioned it in two recent conversations, one about Baltimore and one about Forvo.
-
Why did I think you were a Slovenian living in America? *time for bed*
-
No, I'm an American, but I live in Slovenia. Welcome to Wordie!

Are you Croatian, madmouth?
