    Prick.

    It lets out a nice amount of frustration when someone’s being a prick.

    • Leanerbackeronnerer (a thing for leaning something back on)
    • Putterinnerer (a thing for putting a thing in another thing)
    • Doofydiddler (a thingumy, wotsit or doofer)

        Exactly. I wish it were more socially acceptable for an adult to shout “Shabba!” at random intervals throughout the working day, but these days I just have to think it and enjoy it quietly to myself.

        About 30 years ago, I was told off in French class with the line:

        “Shabba bien merci is neither funny nor correct French, Fakeman”

    My favorites are just nonsensical made up words I say when I am talking to my cat.

    I’ve been describing a lot of things as “funky” lately.

    Shenanigans - one of my most over-used words, it’s a pity some word filters screen it out for racism.

    Baboon - one of my favourite words to say.

    Not really a word but the name Swarfega. It’s a hand soap used by mechanical engineers to clean oil off their hands.

    I liked it so much it’s been my online alias for years.

      YES!! My grandad (plumber) had a big tub of the green jelly stuff that I loved using! Whenever I finished helping him in the workshop I’d go and put a tiny bit on my hands and WOOSH - clean hands! Happy memories. :)
