Alternate Fibbing Friday

Last week, Pensitivity101 was offering up familiar words and asking for alternative definitions.

1. What is a nincompoop?

Is it a person with constipation??  😕  I don’t give a shit.

2. What is a Tory?

He’s the privileged, rich-bitch, British Prime Minister who doesn’t have the Grit to do what is best for the country.

3. What is a gonk?

Gonk is the term for some of the (mostly) male students I attended school with.  Back in the Neolithic Age, there were no special schools for them to attend, or special short buses to get them there.  They just disappeared into the special Opportunity Class.

4. What is a pom-pom?

That’s the butt on any of the Kardashians.  I don’t know why people have started calling them “booty.”  Booty comes in a big chest – and that’s on the other end.

5. What is a hanging basket?

That’s the shot by an NBA player, that jams between the rim and the backboard, and refuses to fall in.

6. What is micropore?

It’s a short shot, dispensed by a cheap thrifty Scottish barkeep.  Och laddie, yuv had enuf already anyway,.

7. What is a posy?

It’s a really difficult question to answer.

8. What is a barometer?

It’s a new, computer program that my local just installed.  They don’t worry about last call anymore.  I had to have a QR code tattooed on.  I scan in when I arrive, and the electronic nanny keeps track of my time spent, beers ordered, and a call from the wife automatically gets me sent home to put the bins out.

9. What is a cable?

It’s a fancy, standout stitch that the wife is putting on a sweater for the Great-grandson, using yarn that the daughter hand-spun from Dorset sheep wool.

10. What is a fib?

It’s the lie that you get from the Beyond Meat company, when they claim that their plant-based pork-rib substitute is as good as the real thing.  At least it isn’t Soylent Green.  😮  I was seriously distraught when I researched that old movie, and found out that there really is a company named Soylent Canada.  What genius named that one??  It’s like finding that someone actually built a Jurassic Park  😳  What could possibly go wrong??  😕

In my Poetry In Motion post, I groused that the poetry of some WordPress authors didn’t make a lot of sense. YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET!! There is a small group of posters who don’t write poetry…. but what they do write can’t be classed as prose, either. I think a couple of them have swallowed random word generators – or non-prescription medication. They may be the authors of some of those strangely-worded spam comments that you get. Here are some examples.

I was heard the sea and are like unto the leopard and made the great favour with his neck and said Figold was handsome.

At a little finger is the sky where she had given to divert the latest news who have his dead and cried but Horn stayed at sunrise.

That would not recognising him to seawhere may be preserved from his real name and as he heard a band of brotherhood we will give birth and he heard these saw her! Better thou wilt hear the guardians of some evil would sooner be the offing.

HUH?? That was actually one of the more comprehensible. Here’s another.

Is this some kind of code?? Are we supposed to read every fourth word?? Who spends the time and effort to type out and post this kind of thing – and why?? There seems to be a group of about 6 authors, who each can publish 2 or 3 posts every day of this kind of nonsense gobbledygook. I am at a loss to find any meaning or justification. Are they Pentecostals, “Speaking In Tongues??” Anybody got any idea…. or a translation?
