Prof called my work 'desultory'... I had to do a quick googletrawl to find out whether that was a compliment or not ! Not !

noffie

abbreviation for 'non-f***ing friendz', with a comfy sound to it..

can be exes you've mutually accepted as good pals, or some gay guy who's savvy and amusing, or anyone else in your close posse...

'Hey, didn't I see you with your ex again the other day ?'
'Oh, we're noffies now, it's great and we've moved on...'

'Oooh, who's that cutebum you're running, along with your steady ?'
'Oh, isn't he sweet ? He's gay, so we're just noffies... though I wouldn't mind giving him a test run...'

Urbanity

the sort of contrived, crass 'new word' based on some strained word-play, that has sadly become the norm on the Urban Dictionary...

'OK, what's the latest feeble, tortured Urbanity to show up onscreen today? What happened to real gritty slang ? Why has this site become a teenage playground ?'

co-promo

media term for those current TV shows where wannabees or one-star celebs hoping to raise their public profile are encouraged to compete, be humiliated, bullied, or patronised on camera...

Great symbiotic relationship -- the media get hours of cheap or unpaid labour; everyone gets their fifteen minutes of facial recognition; one or two win through to big bucks...

'Jeez ! Yet another co-promo on TV... this time it's the Whiplash School of Cookery comp...but dammit, I love them all...it's so addictive...'
