Wednesday is wince day; the day you get to pull pained faces at my attempts to redefine perfectly good words, today’s being;
“Shampoo” – One of those fake dog turds found in joke shops.

Still on the Internet, Still a Nobody
Wednesday is wince day; the day you get to pull pained faces at my attempts to redefine perfectly good words, today’s being;
“Shampoo” – One of those fake dog turds found in joke shops.
#1linerWeds
Midweek already and once again time for your weekly eye-roll, courtesy of today’s misspelled alternative definition;
“Matriarch” – Where Noah’s mum lived.
#1linerWeds
It’s midweek, so it must be alternative definition time. Today’s is kind of obvious, or maybe it isn’t, you decide.
“Vampire” – The anger of a predatory woman.
#1linerWeds
Good morning, it’s time for a short and to the point alternative definition, ready?
“Analogy” – The study of assholes.
#1linerWeds
It’s not often that my alternative definitions could be considered topical, but today’s word, if not the meaning, has certainly been in the news lately;
“Hurricane” – A walking stick.
#1linerWeds
Another alternative definition which depends more on pronunciation than spelling today, but I’m guessing you’ve got the hang of these by now, so;
“Dimensions” – Obituaries.
#1linerWeds
Midweek is here already, which means another entry in the alternative dictionary. Today’s definition is for something you’d expect to use in the summer (although not this morning in the wet and windy UK);
“Solvent” – Sun roof.

Welcome to the first edition of One liner Wednesday on my lovely new blog. Today’s alternative definition is a fairly simple affair that requires no explanation.
“Gestate” – Not hungry.

I’m going to cheat slightly for this week’s SoCS post, putting The Accumulator on hold (again, I know) to use Linda G Hill’s prompt to check that my new home is visible to y’all one last time, now that I’m properly ensconced on Return of the Internet Nobody. (I’d like to know, for instance, if your e-mail notification for this post brought you straight here, or if you were redirected by the sticky post on my old blog)
The instruction Linda gave us was;
” “pant.” Use the word “pant” as is, or find a word with “pant” in it and base your post on it. “
Ooookaay, let’s see…
Mission accomplished.
I’ve been a willing participant in SoCS for quite a while and now I’m the new occupant of this lovely new blog, I am panting with excitement at the thought of showing you all round.
It might seem a minor thing, set against the vast pantheon of blogging greats, (and no, I’m not being flippant) and I don’t want to make a big pantomime out of it, (it’s not like it took a fleet of pantechnicons for me to make the move) nor do I want you to think my ego is running rampant, but I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out.
I’m a bit like a baker who, having baked a beautiful cake, goes to admire it occasionally in their pantry, just to remind themselves how good it actually is, maybe adding a few more sprinkles here and there; I’ve been tinkering and tweaking and adding bits and bobs, trying to cram in as much as I can to make it look interesting.
So I hope that (a) you are reading this in the first place, and (b) you like the new surroundings in which you are reading it.
Oh bugger, I forgot all about the prompt…well, there’s no need to be a pantywaist about it, I’m big enough to admit when I’m beaten.
