Home repairs

[cybermule]

Does anyone know how easy it is to repair laminate flooring if some twunt left a big puddle of water on their floor for a few days? It's all gone warpy round the joins, so I was wondering if I could bodge it somehow, or whether I had to relay the floor...

(sorry for the boring question :P)

at the risk of sounding like an idiot...what is a Twunt-hide?

The skin of a twunt, dried, cleaned and finished.

ok...i guess i should have rephrased my question as i understand what a 'hide' is...what is a twunt?

An evil hybrid between a twat and a cunt :) It just sounds more polite, really, and I've always been amused by it.

awww

makes sense. i always bother jo and kat for definitions as well. i'm not very familiar with much of the slang from the UK. :)

LOL - that'll be it. It's quite hard with slang sometimes, isn't it? I don't really understand some of the US stuff, and I think we're more exposed to it. Then I feel silly for asking...

Thinking about it, I reckon I got twunt off either Jo or Kat ;)

haha

those naughty chicks! LOL

i agree with you that it sounds more polite. the 'c' word is worth fighting over ;)

feel free to ask anytime about a word or saying that you don't know. it's all about communication ;) *smooch*

Hamtoucher :-P :-)

i was trying to stay away from asking about that word....not sure i wanna know :P

Re: haha

It actually doesn't mean anything - the first ever non-rude swear word. Share it with friends!

If I was a pedantic internet bloke I could claim it means "one who touches ham". But that obviously doesn't get one anywhere.

I thought you were implying he was a carnivore! (aren't we all veggies around here?)

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

Heh - we'd have to do a poll to check, but it's probably quite likely. Even 0ct0pus has been converted to the path of not eating dead charred flesh ;)

> the 'c' word is worth fighting over ;)

Aye - I never really thought about it until recently, and then I decided it definitely was. Did you read the book? I read that, and it was a bit annoying in parts, but it really made me think.

And yeah - I'll just ask :) x

Re: haha

[moonskrye.livejournal.com]

LOL since i have no idea what book you are refering to then i'll just answer no i haven't ;)

Re: haha

that book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1580050751/qid=1135160143/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl/026-5047673-1030867). A friend lent it to me - it's better than you'd think!

Supposedly each animal contains just enough brains (suitably pureed) to tan its own hide. Thus explaining the absence of Irish Setter rugs, and the difficulty of procuring good twunt-hide.

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

Hmm. You don't see a lot of retriever rugs either. Surely an argument for genetic engineering? You could ensure that each species - twunts, football lads, Irish Setters - has just enough brains.

[0ct0pus.livejournal.com]

This would also explain why most of the twunts we work with are so painfully thin :-) It's because of a low brain size.

I shall call this "Quercus' first law of twunts" - Skinny people are hamtouchers.
