n.
Etymology: Originating from an act of public mischief orchestrated by the Hofstadter Group in 2013. The act involved the use of phosphoric lanthanum sulfides introduced though the HVAC systems to induce temporary echolalia in approximately 1100 corporate workers simultaneously. The chemicals used in conjunction with the infiltration of the intercom and computer terminal systems with an audio feed of a verbal virus caused the workers to repeat "What's up!" for approximately 3.5 consecutive hours. This was the first of the now common "reality pun" attacks to mimic the original hacker quines of 1977. The Hofstadter Group was unofficially awarded the IOCCC award for human interaction even though the result was not technically a quine.

chemical compound or compounds that temporarily induce symptoms that mimic those of a common neuropathology

1. Describing an object which probably should be soft, furry and cuddly but appears to have been cast out of hard, shiny plastic.

I tripped, and very nearly split my skull on the plasquine figure of a pink bunny.

Now, what have I told you people about letting me choose the word...

SRu has the honours this time.

No wonder I've been feeling odd.

Your word, ladies, gentlemen, and robotic organisms. . .

the sound of the humming tubes of an amplifier in an otherwise silent room indicating musician's block

Modern term of political science. Used to conotate the extreme spinning and avoidance of a political controversy by all members of a political group.

"Scott McClelan and the Shrubettes engaged in more phimfozelry today over the continuing Karl Rove controversy."

phimfozelry n
Something to wrap food in while you cook it in megawaves. Megawaves are already in the stores in the most countries of Africa and are expected to hit Western markets any minute now. Actually in 678334907 minutes to be precise. But this is not about megawaves, it's about phimfozelry. So phimfozelry is what you need to wrap your food before you place it in a magawave oven. The megawave oven was invented by... oh shut up already!

phimfozelry: creating noise by jumping about, talking to yourself, playing loud music &c, in order to convince your neighbours you're having a really wild party rather than sitting home alone with a defrosted canneloni dinner and a rented video

phimfozelry

The practice of trying to edge out competitors in a word definitions game by taking the best currently offered definition, tweaking it slightly to make it more salacious, and presenting it as your own.

Ex.: Splitcoil was disqualified for phimfozelry when he attempted to define phimfozelry as creating noise by jumping about, talking to yourself, playing loud music &c, in order to convince your neighbours you're having a really wild sex party rather than sitting home alone fellating a defrosted canneloni dinner and watching a rented porn video.

phim fo zel ry n.

The ancient and incredibly pointless art of creating suits of chainmail out of pipe-cleaners.

It's so tempting to give it to Splitcoil, but he failed to provide an illustration.

RobW, it's your turn.

Plangible

Pla´ngi´ble, noun, K´lakiri dialect(nowadays only spoken by a small number of survivers of the K´laki tribe in the jungle of Burma)

The treeformed skeleton of a leaf, appearing when you carefully remove the soft parts of the leaf between the skeleton branches. In the K´laki tribe making pla´ngi´bles was former a common activity especially when waiting for somebody or something to happen. Untill 1983 annual pla´ngi´ble contests were held, but owing to the contact to western civilisation, tv watching has now replaced pla´ngi´ble and nobody in the tribe know the art of peeling a leaf anymore.

Plangible : A Lighter than Air Stratagem.

Take that! My def's are thread-killers....

Nah, people just hate my words. They are an offence unto linguistics.

Hey, is linguinistics the study of the origins of pasta?

plan gi ble adj.

Capable of making an interesting or entertaining noise if thrown off a sufficiently tall building.

The hamsters turned out to be eminently plangible, and the PETA protesters even more so.

plangible


Plangibles became popular in the late 2020s as rising aviation fuel costs forced the airline industry into seeking new ways of transporting large numbers of people economically. By combining the 'lighter than air' concepts originally employed by dirigibles with the speed of a modern jet, the Airbus A390 Plangible set new standards in aviation efficiency. The plangibles were quickly discontinued, however, as the mixture of 90% helium and 10% oxygen that the passengers and crew were forced to breathe during the flight had the unintended consequence of causing the concept to be labelled as being too "Mickey Mouse" to be taken seriously.

Plangible plan gib oil
n.
An attempted terrorist attack on the Rock of Gibralter Hotel that failed miserably. Ironically the plan was foiled by actor Tom Cruise (playing himself). Cruise shot the cell leader in the arm with a concealed Model 37 Smith & Wesson 38 Special. Cruise exclaimed "What the hell are you thinking; this is no way to salvation. Cool it; I've got a license for this."
