Looking for tweets for naugahyde.
reesetee My brothers probably took them. ;-) Dec 8, 2007
chained_bear I didn't know they were real! We had those too! Omigosh. All these years I thought they were some weird doll my mom made. I wonder where those naugas went? Dec 8, 2007
reesetee I don't know anymore, mollusque. I'm very confused.
Trivet, we had naugas when we were kids. No, I'm serious. They didn't eat much and were fun to play with. But hardly attractive. ;-) Dec 7, 2007
mollusque Hee hee hee! Hmm, that's a Triad isn't it? *Googles it. Lists it*.
Wait--reesetee, did you trigger that or did I trigger that? Dec 7, 2007
trivet More naugas can be found here. And here. Dec 7, 2007
reesetee Uh oh. Mollusque has the drop on us, chained_bear. ;->
You realize, of course, mollusque, that you just managed to trigger both? Heehee. Dec 7, 2007
mollusque Two more signs of Wordie addiction: attempting to trigger listings by other Wordies and Pavlovian responses to stimulating words. Dec 6, 2007
reesetee Ha! I knew that would make you add it to your Trade Names list! (Which, by the way, I love.) Dec 6, 2007
chained_bear REEEEEEEALLY?! *adds it to another list* Dec 6, 2007
reesetee They're endangered, you know.
I just learned that this word (a trademark) comes from "Naugatuk," a rubber-making town in Connecticut, and a variant of "hide." The "hide" part is obvious, but I had no idea Naugatuk was related. Dec 6, 2007
chained_bear "Do you know how many naugas had to die to make you that chair?!" Dec 6, 2007
