    "'I'd not like to sleep with that wife of yours. She's too athletic. It'd be like sleeping with a bundle of faggots. I suppose though you're a pair of turtle doves...'"

  • vanishedone Google is now advertising a site called 'Gay-parship'. Tasteful. Dec 20, 2008

  • vanishedone On the page for a word which can be a derogatory term for a homosexual (defs. 7 and 8), Google manages to place a jewellery ad featuring what I think is meant to be a lesbian kiss. Is Google under the spell of WeirdNet...? May 3, 2008

  • reesetee Prolagus, you may know this (because you're from Italy, not because of any political affiliation)--is this word not related to the symbol for Fascism, the fasces (a bundle of sticks)? May 3, 2008

  • frindley Also another name for bassoon. German spelling "Fagott" and Italian "fagotto". From the French "fagot", meaning a bundle of sticks. May 3, 2008

  • Prolagus Did anyone notice that faggot stitch is apparently related to scarf? and they are also weirdnet twins... May 3, 2008

  • reesetee I'm sure they could make room in the dictionary for that definition, skipvia. After all, it has so many other meanings already. ;-> Feb 16, 2008

  • sionnach You mean this isn't just another word for the bassoon? Feb 15, 2008

  • reesetee Kewpid, are you referring to the image I posted way back when? Totally coincidence; honest. Here, have another.

    Besides, I like pink triangles. Feb 15, 2008

  • kewpid Oh hey, pink triangles! That's not even remotely suggestive… Feb 15, 2008

  • chained_bear I agree, u. I nominate... well, I don't really want to nominate this word page. Oh! I know: peeler.

    John, I think adding WeirdNet definitions has enriched this site in ways too numerous to count. No kidding. The conversations it's spawned are awesome, and I've learned a lot (whether I wanted to or not). Nov 28, 2007

  • reesetee Wait, I know what this is! As trivet's citation describes, it looks like this.

    Wow, I'm as weird as WeirdNet. Nov 28, 2007

  • uselessness It's decided. If we're doing a List of the Year award, we also need something for the Most Unexpected WeirdNet Definition. Nov 28, 2007

  • trivet See here. Nov 28, 2007

  • yarb Astonishing. Nov 27, 2007

  • chained_bear Wow! That's a good one! What the hell's a faggot stitch? Nov 27, 2007

  • john Perhaps the weirdest WeirdNet yet. I've never ever heard of this definition. Nov 27, 2007
