Language & Grammar discussion

For Sarah who loves games, this thread is for word associations fast and furious and CREATIVE. Really, let's kick it a notch above the usual...

(let's start)

HUMDRUM

Humdinger!

Thanks guys (and dolls)! Debs, I know I am usually a bit quicker about doing what I say I will (at least as far as this website/group is concerned. If you haven't already seen my Procrastinator's Creed check it out on my nonsense thread-- that's my real life modus operandi :))-- but life got in the way. Nothing bad-- I lost track of time and I had promised some students I would watch them play baseball before the end of the season. Well, it's almost the end of the season and I hadn't made it to a game yet (reference Procrastinator's Creed again).

OK, enough about me ... word association ...

DOOZY

See your Procrastinators Creed? I printed it off and hung it on my classroom wall...right above my desk!!
Pearler!

WHOOP! (that's Texas Aggie-speak for "really cool good stuff!"). Glad you like the PC-- my poster is next to my desk as well.

Am I to associate with "Pearler!"? Don't know what it means, so I guess my word is--

STUMPED

I'm off to a girls night out-- don't have too much fun whilst I'm gone :)

'Pearler'...means the same as humdinger and doozy....'That's a pearler of an idea!' In Antipodean lingo that is!
It is morning here and I am off to babysit a colleagues netball team...in pouring rain! Final performance and cast party tonight...you know what I will be taking!!!

CAST PARTY!!!!! That was one of the best parts of finishing a performance run :)

So, now-
