I am back to the writing board. Having completed a fairly decent first book in a series, I am working on a re-write of the second book.
At this moment in my life, words and phrases are of the utmost importance. This week, I’d like to share my new favorite phrases and words.
Have a cuppa. If you create a sentence out of one of these words, you will automatically be entered in a prize drawing for something cool (that I haven’t determined).
Thursday Thirteen #15
1. Clark Kent Job: This is probably my favorite new phrase. Everyone has a Clark Kent job – a job that pays the bills while they pursue their destiny outside of work.
2. Electile dysfuction: The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year.
3. Choreplay and cuddalingus: Choreplay is how absolutely hot and sexy it is for a woman to see a man doing doing regular household chores. Cuddalingus is when two people lie intertwined with each other. Combined? Choreplay leads to cuddalingus and more. Of course, there are such things as cuddle parties, but that’s another story….
4. Refrigerator blindness: Selective loss of visual acuity in association with common foraging of the refrigerator. Predominantly seen in children and males. Often indicated by the phrase: “There’s nothing to eat in this house.”
5. California car pool: When each member of a group drives himself to the same destination. Typically, the group is together at the start or close enough to share rides. The best example of a California Car Pool is when a group of work friends decide to have lunch together then each drive alone to and from lunch.
6. DILLIGAF: Do I Look Like I Give A F**k??
7. Christmas Adam: Christmas Adam is the day before Christmas Eve (i.e., December 23rd). According to the Bible, Adam came before Eve thus Christmas Adam is the day before Christmas Eve.
8. Compunicate: When you are in the same room with someone, each on separate computers, and you talk via Instant Messenger instead of speaking to them out loud, in person.
(Demonstrated best in this video – Dead Like Me: Millie gets a new job.)
9. Hobosexual: The opposite of metrosexual; one who cares little for one’s own appearance.
10. Pornfolio: The mass of porn that one has stored on their computer, generally in a separate folder.
(I couldn’t find a suitable picture… Imagine that!)
11. Phone Grope: Grabbing at pockets, patting yourself down to make sure you have your cellphone and don’t need to turn around and go back home for it.
That’s what’s going on here. Right? Right?
12. Cinematard: One who is completely lacking movie knowledge. (This would be me!)
13. Docomrade: An Internet acquaintance; someone you chat with but have never actually met. (That’s you and me!

Thank you for that list, dear docomrade! I am going to make good and frequent use of dilligaf! (spell checker rejects both of those! there’s a surprise!)
Loved it! I think I may use a few of those myself now!
DH and I often IM each other at home. It is easier than shouting over the noise of the kids. Happy TT.
I am sooo laughing my butt off!! DILLIGAF – :0 OMG…You are a riot.
I’ve never heard of most of these, but they’re now already my favorite words. Especially choreplay, cuddilingus, Clark Kent job and hobosexual.
“Her hobosexual darling, clad in his Clark Kent job duds, scrubbed at the sticky mess on the stove and sent her into a choreplay meltdown.”
i don’t even think you know what you started asking me to create sentences!! i have several lol. when at work, i’d prefer if you’d COMPUTICATE. i get really annoyed when you come stand in my space. Especially if I’m conversing with a DOCOMRADE. you should see me with the serious PHONE GROPE every time i leave a building– house, work, gym, mall, doesn’t matter. kill me if i ever date a HOBOSEXUAL… unless he wants me to do a wardrobe makeover and can/will buy the clothes i insist upon. CHRISTMAS ADAM is so much quicker to say than Christmas eve eve, but i’m just so used to that one that is the explanation even worth it? i’ve never had less ELECTILE DISFUNCTION because I ROCK OBAMA!! (are you proud?)
Dear Docomrade,
I have had vast experience with Refrigerator blindness, specifically with my 82 year old father, “Where is the ketchup? Are we out?” “No, Dad, it’s in the door, right where it always is.”
Tomorrow, I shall have reason to smile when I say to my boss: DILLIGAF. She, of course, will say, “excuse me?” and that’s when I’ll smile and oh, nothing…
Hobosexual just cracked me UP!
Sincerely!
Sooooo I just learned I’m a female hobosexual.
I love these words. Thanks.
2. Electile dysfuction: The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year.
ROFL! Seriously. ROFL. Me.
Nicholas – Oh yes, I love the DILLIGAF – problem is? I’m so nosey I usually do! lol!
Chelle – I’m amazed at how many I use!
Pussreboots – My dh and I do that but we are in different rooms – he’s down stairs and I’m upstairs.
Rhonda – Glad to amuse.
Julia – Now that’s impressive, use all of them at once! Well done!
Jameil – YAY!! You totally rock. I am so impressed. (Although a trip to the esthetician would definitely be required for you to date a hobosexual. I insist!)
Janet – Well done! I bet your father does that. My husband does that and he’s only 43! I can’t imagine what he will be like in his 80s! Let me know how it goes with the boss. You never know – she maybe a secret texting fiend!
Sandy Carlson – Oh, you are not.
DILLIGAF -> I like it!
Happy TT
This is by far the best TT I’ve ever seen!
I’m so glad to know there’s finally a name for the seemingly Y-chromosome driven malady of Refrigerator Blindness! Of course, the fact that it’s usually accompanied by strong assertions that whatever’s being looked for is in fact REALLY NOT THERE is countered by the more highly evolved woman’s assertion that OH YES IT IS (and she’s always right)…nice to know it’s a common occurence.
Here’s my sentence:
“In my family, December 23 has always been called ‘the day before the day before Christmas’–how will I ever break it to my younger sister that it’s actually called Christmas Adam?!”
Happy TT, and thanks for the visit.
I love #2 and #5 is so true. I know I live in California. Have a great TT.
Tomorrow, I am going to compunicate to my hobosexual boss, the cinematard with electile dysfunction and a large pornfolio, that she can take this Clark Kent job and shove it because frankly, my dear, dilligaf.
Ciao.
Your docomrade with refrigerator blindness who prefers cuddlelingus and even a good Christmas Adam phone grope while California car pooling,
Go ahead, make my choreplay!
I have lots of number 13, LOL. Great list. I love the Christmas Adam. That’s funny.
Happy TT!
Oh, how this made me smile. If I HAD to choose a favorite, I’d choose #3, but they’re all good. (Thanks for visiting my TT)
Interesting and creative. Two cat paws up.
SJR
The Pink Flamingo
Very funny list! I particularly liked hobosexual and Clark kent Job. Blessings, Cricket
Sue – Enjoy!
Michelle – Nice sentence. Yes, refrigerator blindness. My husband is convinced that the only way to fix it is to have a larger refrigerator. Of course, the eye doctor prescribed lenses.
Comedy Plus – Oh yes, it’s true.
Heart in SF – I’m thinking you must be out of honey. Great job! Really impressive work here.
Morgan – We are blessed for our docomrades.
That Gal Herself – mmmm cuddalingus!
SJ Reidhead – Wow – two cat’s paws? That’s cool!
Cricket’s Hearth – I use Clark Kent job all the time. It’s infectious!
I’m scared that I recognize myself in many of these…
This list rocks. Happy TT!
GREAT List.
Clark Kent Job. Love it.
I fear you know me too well.
Monty
These are hilarious, Claudia!! And a couple sound like words/phrases my Hero would use…so I may just steal one or two.
Happy TT!!!
Loved your list…especially #3. Thats what Im talking about;) Happy TT and thanks for stopping by.
My daughter’s birthday is on Christmas Adam’s day. I always knew she was special.
Very amusing TT here!!
I really enjoyed reading your list. Very funny words!
Susan Helen Gottfried – Now you have new ways to express yourself!
Journeywoman – That’s my favorite too.
The CEO – You can use your new words at your new job. People will think you are so very very cool!
Kristi – Go for it!
Lori – Well, right on.
Natalie – They are funny.
Hilarious!! My husband and I compunicate all the time — we’re nerds, lol!! Happy TT!
Christmas Adam always comes before Christmas Eve….how right that is. What a terrific list of words. A friend of mine showed me a “picture” book she received for Christmas (after Adam and Eve came and went). It was called Woman’s porn…..pics of studdly men performing household chores. It was hilarious…..mainly because the front pic was of a guy vaccuuming which my husband is known for. He’s always vaccuuming around here! In fact I bought him a new dust devil for Christmas which of course I gave him after Eve was spent.
I would love to know more about the book you’re working on……I guess that’s my question for you for your birthday…. that and the whole publishing process stuff.
“Phone groping herself in the cafe, Amy looked confused as she discovered her TV remote residing in her coat pocket.”
How was that?
Great TT, Claudia. I will sooo be using many of these
DILLIGAF is a wonderful addition to FIIK FIIC (f*ck if I know f*ck if I care)!
I wish #3 happened more in my household. It is so true. Great list.
These are great! I’d be hard-pressed to decide on a favorite, but as the only female in the house with my husband and two teenage boys, I’m all too familiar with “refrigerator blindness.”
I had heard of a lot of them, but not “Clark Kent job”. I LOVE that one!
I love all of these. I was cracking up! I totally have a Clark Kent Job!
And a Pornfolio… JUST KIDDING!
Clark Kent Job – I love it! It describes perfectly what I am supposed to be doing right now instead of TT’ing.
I love no. 2
Great list.
Have a wonderful TT
Claudia, I love, love the list! DILLIGAF! Fantastic! Very funny!
Oh my those are something– i do like the hobosexual
Higher level thinking this week, eh? Damn, those are spectacular!
Unfortunately, with the Super Bowl weekend ahead, there will be a rash of Couchplay and Buddylingus for most wives on Sunday. Friday and Saturday, maybe…
I love the list … have seen a few before (even shared the refrigerator one with Sandy at Momisodes after one of her Friday Fridge posts) but totally cracked up at the California Car Pool which (sadly) seems so true to this So Cal gal. Sigh! Please DON’T enter me in a drawing for anything as I’m working diligently to give rid of stuph and need nothing more.
Thanks for the mention of my blogs at Everyday Kindness. I love this idea!
Hugs and blessings,
Your list was hilarious. Sadly, I’m a hobosexual. lol
Renee
Tasha – At least you are connecting – that’s what’s cool.
Awareness – I love your friend’s idea of porn! Very, Very sexy.
Amy Palko – Well done! I like your sentence! Go for it – update the vocab a bit. That’s how I found all these words!
Zen momma – I hadn’t heard that before – but I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Courtney – Maybe now you have a language to ask for it?
Darla – Yes, I would guess that there’s a lot of refrigerator blindness at your home.
Fabbie – It’s my favorite as well! We get to be super heroes!
Wonderful Kelly – I bet your pornfolio has some tasty shots of that Sweetness – yummy! I can’t wait for the sex tape release!
Robin – Yes, get back to work Clark!
Driller AA – Oh, me too. I thought that was so appropriate!
Mary T/the teach – It is fun to learn new words.Marcia V – I aim to please!
Rian Fike – Yeah, that’s it – higher level…
Those are great words too!
Storyteller – Good for you for working to clear the clutter! I always enjoy learning new words!
Lyrical Press – I think we all have a bit of the hobo within us.
Great List, I think anywone with kids suffers from refrigerator blindness.
Refrigerator blindness……story of my life! Snort!
So true all of them and excellent, but know the baseball gys do not appear to be checking for cell phones.
Ok the carpool one for southern californians was spot on. happy tt
Miranda – That’s for sure.
Nikki – Oh, poor you. Do you think glasses would help?
Penelope Anne – It’s is a bit… shall we say, odd??
Ellen B – Yes it is!
Phone grope. LOL Good thing I leave it in my purse.
I hadn’t heard any of these, but I’ll be adding some to my vocabulary. Not only do I do the phone grope to make sure I have my cell, I also use it to ensure that I also have lotion and lip therapy in my pocket.
You’re too funny! I love the chores one bc seriously, that is such a turn on. I’m getting all hot just thinking of my husband cleaning the bathroom!
I loved your Thursday Thirteen… made me giggle… and visited a couple of people on the list and now want to join up too
That’s a great list!! Love it!!
What a fun list, Claudia! DH did the refrigerator blindness thing the other day.
“Ya know. With the cherries in the fridge, I don’t think of them. I never look for food in the fridge.” Sounds like a personal problem, doesn’t it?
Happy TT!
Still laughing over Dilligaf! Super TT13.
AtomiK Kitten – Do you do purse grope then?
Malcolm – Lotion Grope has a slightly different connotation, don’t you think?
Reynie – Maybe you should tell him about this list! He may get the point!
Vadiay – TT’s are awesome – a really great community!
Secret Agent Mama – What did you like?
Kaige – It does sound like a personal problem. I mean, where would you look for cherries??
Gandalf and Grayson – You’ll be using it soon enough.
what is your series about?? i’m dying to read.
Christmas Adam….what a hoot!!!!
Those are hilarious! Love the Clark Kent Job, Refrigerator Blindness, Electile Dysfunction, Christmas Adam – and the others, too!
Electile dysfunction was my favorite!
Thanks for stopping by my TT.
I’m so going to have to borrow a few of those, thanks! Happy TT!
I think my favorite is electile dyfunction. I also like Choreplay. What great fun.
I heard myself say today: Note to self in writing! I think that will be my new saying.
number 1 is my favorite. and i love dead like me! so sad that it was canceled. yeah, that bit with her new job was hilarious.
great TT, as always.
those were great! the one that hit home the most with me was the refrigerator blindness…my dad suffered an acute case of this, “But I can’t find it. It’s not there.” And even I, having just arrived back in FL, could go to the fridge and find what he just couldn’t see in 3 seconds flat!
I obviously can identify with both #1 and #6 today. This post reminds me of sniglets. Remember them?!
Thanks for the good advice on my TT. I am making steps to figure it all out and soon.
Those are hilarious! I do the phone grope daily. Thanks for visiting my TT.
She – It’s a women’s thriller series. It’s written to be fun, interesting with funny characters. We’ll see…
Hootin’ Anne – Got to love Adam – especially at Christmas!
Maggie’s Mind – Oh, I’m glad. You’ll have to start using them in your blog!
Cindy Swanson – That is particularly nice – although I’m fond of Clark Kent job.
Melissa – Go for it! And enjoy!
Colleen – Cool! Thanks for sharing your new saying! I’ll look for it on t-shirts everywhere.
Jehara – They are making a movie. It should be out in a couple months. Have you seen the trailer?
Claudia – Isn’t that funny? I have no idea what that’s about.
Cajun Vegan – You can do it! I know you can!
LOL! I love it. Especially refrigerator blindness. My son has that!
LMAO!
I’m so appropriating hobosexual and Clark Kent job.
Nicole Austin – Yes, I do think it’s a Y linked trait.
Ann Bruce – Go for it!
I learn so much from your blog. Hobosexuals of the world unite!
It’s true.
Will work for honey.
I am so guilty of the phone grope.
In fact, I feel myself up (for my phone) several times a day.
I have an uncanny knack for names and faces, yet cannot for the life of me remember where my keys and phone are located.
I blame this on my children.
What a great TT, I really enjoyed it a lot! I like these words and sentences, especially because you gave the explanation too. That makes it easier for us non-native English bloggers.
Thanks for visiting my fridge TT. It’s not that special, more quite the typical Dutch fridge. I don’t keep hens, but I’d like to if i had a garden!
Great list of words….I saved a few for later use. Don’t remember how I got here, but I’ll be back!
