Lingostar: /lin go star/ Paula McCartney was very possessive about the John, By George. She was a self-proclaimed bathroom monitor and rules writer, legislator and enforcer. She was the Loo-tenant, the Canservationist and the Privy Counselor. When new signs were needed, she was the lingostar and create baffling and confusing edicts that no one understood. Being Bladder Controller meant she could invent the rules and execute them. Everyone in the office felt that she belonged “Back in the USSR”…”Eight Days a Week”. When they boycotted the toilets, she asked them if they needed to go…they answered, “No Reply” or “I Feel Fine”. Her boss finally intervened and told her, “Let it Be”, even though people told him, “You’re going to lose that girl”. She quit and became a “Paperback Writer” and followed “The Long and Winding Road” to lingostardom.

Luckily, Pete Best quit after the Hamburg tour (when they sang as a back-up band for Tony Sheridan). If Ringo didn’t take Pete’s spot at the drum set, this word would have never been born. Cool word, N! 🙂galwaywegian, 2010-05-17: 10:46:00
was he related to John Rennon?Nosila, 2010-05-17: 17:14:00
I like the comment of Paul, when asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, he said Ringo wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles!XMbIPb, 2010-05-17: 20:05:00
LOL…
Uberloquitor: /-ü-bÉ™r-lo-kwi-tor-/ I can’t even tell you what George and I drank over the weekend. Nor how much of it we drank. Neither remembers. All I can say is that Master George – and there’s no other way I can call him from now on – is a bloody genius! Despite a massive hangover and absolute lack of preparation, he managed to UBERLOQUITATE the entire board meeting into extending our contract for two (count’em – t-w-o) more years! I mean I was sitting there with my head feeling like a cracked egg shell, while Master George managed to pull a presentation full of “gestalt,†“zeitgeist,†“sine qua non,†“parallax,†and at least a dozen words all of which had at least one vowel with an umlaut. I love that guy! Etymology: uberloquitor (n.), uberloquacious (adj.), uberloquitate (v.) —– UBER- (fr. Germ.): over, beyond. [Recently replaced other such superlative prefixes as “super-“ and “ultra-“ (see: “ubergeek,†“uberhack,†“ubercoolâ€)] LOQUI – (fr. Latin) to speak. Created by: XMbIPb.

Ausgezeichnet story…
Dicktionary: /DIK shun air ee/ Arry Gant is such a dicktionary. He likes to use fancy words to obscure the true meaning of what he is really saying, while making it sound really important. Everything he says is technically true; it just comes off sounding a lot better than what really happened. For example, he told us yesterday that he went to an evening philosophy lecture on campus last Thursday, probably because he thought it would impress this really cute girl who hangs out with us a lot. I was getting tired of his B.S., so I called his bluff in front of her and asked him to tell us some things about it. He responded, “Well, it was so esoteric and arcane as to be virtually impenetrable. I only wish it had could have been less rarefied and more prosaic.” The girl, whose intelligence he had vastly underestimated, responded, “So what you’re saying is that the lecture was meant mainly for people who already have knowledge of the study of philosophy, and so you didn’t understand anything the speakers were saying because you probably haven’t taken any classes in it. You wish it had been way more simplified so you could have actually understood some of it. Is that right?” All he could say in response was, “Uhhhh…yeah, that’s basically it,” before slinking away, claiming that he had to “go do something very urgent and important.” Etymology: dick + dictionary Created by: karenanne.
