What's the Word?

I stripped out the terms I recognized from previous versions. The remaining entries seem to have been submitted by hard-drinking, misogynistic Brits.

NEW WORDS FOR 2007

TESTICULATING: Waving your arms around and talking bollocks.

SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

ADMINISPHERE: The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the adminisphere are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded ADMINISTRIVIA – needless paperwork and processes.

OH-NO SECOND: That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a big mistake (e.g., you've hit “reply all”).

GOING FOR A McSHIT: Entering a fast-food restaurant with no intention of buying food; you're just going to the bog. If challenged by a pimply staff member, your declaration to them that you'll buy their food afterwards is known as a McSHIT WITH LIES.

JOHNNY NO-STARS: A young man of substandard intelligence; the typical adolescent who works in a burger restaurant. The "no-stars" comes from the badges displaying stars that staff at fast-food restaurants often wear to show their level of training.

MONKEY BATH: A bath so hot that when lowering yourself in you go: “Oo! Oo! Oo! Aa! Aa! Aa!”

SWAMP-DONKEY: A deeply unattractive person.

SINBAD: Single working girls. Single income, no boyfriend and desperate.

AEROPLANE BLONDE: One who has bleached/dyed her hair but still has a “black box.”

GREYHOUND: A very short skirt, only an inch from the hare.

MILLENNIUM DOMES: The contents of a Wonderbra – i.e., extremely impressive when viewed from the outside, but there's actually nothing in there worth seeing.

PICASSO BUM: A woman whose knickers are too small for her, so she looks like she's got four buttocks.

TART FUEL: Bottled premixed spirits, regularly consumed by young women.

BREAKING THE SEAL: Your first pee in the pub, usually after two hours of drinking. After breaking the seal of your bladder, repeat visits to the toilet will be required every 10 or 15 minutes for the rest of the night.

MYSTERY BUS: The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the toilet after your 10th pint and whisks away all the unattractive people so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in.

MYSTERY TAXI: The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake up, whisks away the stunner you slept with, and leaves a 10-pinter in your bed instead.
