So in another thread, me, Peechland, and Straughn decided that the acronym *FLORT* will make you giggle if you say it out loud.

So here is the deal. What words can you not help but smile at when you say them? You know the ones, they just make you feel good.

I'd go with Koosh.
and Voop.

I don't giggle I only laugh in a deep manly voice while smoking cigars and lifting weights.

Well, that's a little long, but it still made me giggle. :)

Ju Ju Flop, Swut, and Turlingdrome.

Well, that's a little long, but it still made me giggle. :)
oddly enough, the word giggle makes my sister giggle. I have no idea why I quoted you, but your post made me think of it.

Polly Punelli

I know, what were they thinking?


what does FLORT stand for anyway? When Straughn says it, I picture him falling down on the floor real hard and laughing maniacally.

I only giggle for cardio in addition to flexing my massive muscles and shaving with barbed wire.

haha...I was going to ask in the other thread...but that is the exact image I had in my mind. I have no clue tho. Maybe Straughn will enlighten us

He disappears for long periods of time. We need to put a bell around his neck.

Where did you go FLORT master?

Maybe he's here. We'll never know, seeing as he has this mystery ghost posting ability...

or maybe he's currently FLORTing

Ah ... *FLORT*
Well, i could give a long diatribe as i oft do, but this time i'll be "straight" about it ...
I got sick of the terms "LMAO" and "ROTFL" because there's no smooth way of saying them outside of script. So, for two reasons, i coined *FLORT* -
One, a really, really good laugh (perhaps w/a tear or two) can make someone snort as well as laugh and that tends to interrupt the whole flow of the thing (Snort + chuckle = chortle, for example) - so *FLORT* sounded about right.
Two, *FLORT* is quite connotative, as evidenced by the work you folks submitted yourself to by going through the trouble of saying it, and it still performs some kind of reactive function.
That's why, not much else a reason, really.

Another thing, i call "Honky" before anyone else, if i didn't already take too long.
The story behind me calling Man in Black "Honky in Black" is another simple one ... he and i both apparently love the word for reasons that aren't well expressed, and he said he'd be honoured to be called that. So i do. He's yet to coin mine yet, but i told him if he didn't come up with one he liked, i'd settle for "Honky Straughn" (which itself is quite connotative if you say it).
Honky.

When someone calls someone an Asshat online is always fairly enjoyable for me. Although I don't think I've ever used it in real life.

I'm practicing music for the Arctic Winter Games.
"Big Distraction" from No Doubt, "Breathe" and "Waiting For The Night" from Depeche Mode, "Blue" from A Perfect Circle, "Tuesday Afternoon" from The Moody Blues, "Grace" from Jeff Buckley, "#1 Crush" from Garbage, "Plowed" from Sponge, "The Boys Of Summer" from Don Henley, and "Something About You" from Level 42.

It takes a while to get the kinks out.

I always think of City Slickers when i hear that. Is it wrong to do so?

dildo is giggle worthy

That and your nation name are both risible, but of what nature is the word you posted?

Thanks. That's only about the first hours' worth, i had to come up with three more ... and my music isn't usually 4/4 time, so i tried to pick stuff that was worthwhile but not too difficult. Some of them we'd done in prior years so we could pick up the slack. I really didn't have enough time to prepare everyone (besides, we all have other jobs and lives, ya know).
Oh, BTW Peech, we're doing Come Undone and, time permitting, All She Wants Is (my XP-50's got the EXACT same tone so i was inspired thusly)

breasticles?:D
Certainly could be an Alaskan reference. *nods emphatically*

As for "dildo" the word is funny but i seem to be caught in thinking of one of the Naked Gun movies as well as Porky's. Both of the correlative scenarios were quite funny.

I seem to have a particular bias about my responses to those, mostly derisive laughter. Almost all of the connotations of them make me laugh.

Actually i mentioned you and Minoriteeburg on Friday for some topic and for some song, but i can't remember what. I played John Petrucci, a song off the Aladdin soundtrack, a live version of "Running Up That Hill" from Kate Bush (which is another song we're doing), and a bunch of other tunes i have since forgotten. That happens since i end up always having visitors and i have to basically hope that there's no cussing or skipping on the songs ($500,000 potential fine! :eek: ...although not likely since after 11pm here, the FCC is MEGA-lax)

Yep, i'm doin' Duran Duran. Might do "Save A Prayer" this summer also.

EDIT: The *only* reason i'm not doing Men At Work is the lack of a sax or flute player. Else i'd have done "Overkill" and "Who Can It Be Now?" already.

There's a couple i'm REALLY looking forward to (i mightn't already have mentioned)-
"Linoleum" from Tweeker,
"Surrender" from Depeche Mode,
"Head Over Heels" from Tears For Fears (and on that topic, of course inspired by Donnie Darko ...
"Mad World")
"Bring Me The Disco King" (Underworld sndtk) from David Bowie,
"Could've Gone Mad" from Poe,
"Flutes of Chi" from Ween,
"Cynically Yours" from Amy Rigby,
"Stupid" from Sarah McLachlan, and
"Grace" and "New Year's Prayer" from Jeff Buckley.

lol- Damn I have to tune in. You;;ll have to send me the info so I can become one of your groupies. Well I already am in theory...just have to put it into practice.;)

skronk.
schnoobs.

And my buddies had a game when they were teens... here is the dialogue

"Hey Chad! what kinda coke ya want?"
"Oranst of course!"

People around here dont say coke for all soft drink beverages, but they did, and Oranst meant Orange Soda.

lol- Damn I have to tune in. You;;ll have to send me the info so I can become one of your groupies. Well I already am in theory...just have to put it into practice.;)
I may just have to configure the studio to do that sometime. I usually have fun, and i dance around the whole "impartiality" clause that is kinda vital to the continuation of NPR (contrary to what right-wingers think). So long as i don't make any calls to action, nor endorse any particular political platform, nor accept payment for any action i take in regards to the studio/NPR, i'm okay. When i started i broke two federal laws right off the bat, two of the most expensive ones. But i was forgiven due my gross negligence, and i also still haven't gotten a thorough explanation for the whole "underwriting" vs. "sponsoring" issue.
It covers most of our borough, but i can only count on 6 or 7 different listeners and a good portion of our local community college to be my ear. And occasion, someone who wants to try and rat me out (since i'm not dissimilar here too much than i am there as material goes)
I can basically inflect derision or scoff, but i don't give a personal opinion or something that isn't easily cross-referenced or whatever.
I know what i was mentioning Minoriteeburg about ... it was the sheep thing (btw Verdigroth got me on NS, and he used to come by the studio and try and f*ck me up on-air for the fun of it, being live and all - he got a couple good shots ...alas, he's at college in Fairbanks now).

can i pick it up on the radio from this far away? I knew I should have stayed in Oregon.

It's an NPR sub. I don't think we have enough $ to power the watts it would take for an average-discriminator FM to pick us up in the states. We also pick stuff off of the landline (from Homer), which also gets its stuff largely from satellite. However, there's a show on tonight (already passed, Le Show from Harry Shearer of The Simpsons, it comes on at nine pm here ... a lot of the stuff he covers is like what i cover, except he does planned sketches and a lot of music i've never heard - fair since i play a lot of what isn't normally heard either. Oh yeah, and he's got copyright and all that, i just get catchphrases and the like - *FLORT* for example)

Poppycock and Mr. Bigglesworth for me.

flip-flop.

NSFW if sound is applied (http://www.rathergood.com/seepage/)

It's the way they say it...
:)

Scrotum.

Emphasis the 'tum' for added effect.

Supercal... you know that horribly long word.

I've always liked the word "bugger".


Also, a friend and I usually end our emails to each other in deragotory words we spontaneously make up- he called me "bloach" at the end of one,I've called him "sploot" and "splootene". Recently, we found that bloach and sploot are already in the urban dictionary. And neither is nice.

'sphincter'
Bwaa haa haa!!!
My friends decided that is a great word to say. We were all in Anatomy and Physiology together.

there are lots, in spanish, english, german or french.

But the language that i can't help but to laugh it japanese, them japs make me laugh when they speak, whatever they're saying i can't control it!!!

The german word for tissue.

Tempotaschentochen. *giggles*

"Speedy pocket cloth" or something along the lines of that.

Penis..It always makes me laugh....

Oh dear lord... Skullduggery is a reasonable attempt, as is Balderdash, and a favourite phrase of mine, temporal fathomage.

skullfuck is funny, both in sound and concept. Why do half of my words relate back to me and Straughns hijacks over the past few days?

Penis..It always makes me laugh....


the word "penis" only make me laugh when I see it written with magic marker on a bathroom wall or some other public place.

The thought of some little douchebag setting out on his day, pocketing a sharpie, and carrying out his big plan amuses me.

Fartlek

Fartlek

ballapper
sacklick
taintsniff

Lickers, Fartlek is a great word to use in a game of hangman... so is Xerxes, for that matter.

ROFL:

"Fart=speed and lek=play"


(in a car...)
"Honey, stop farting!"
"But I'm not farting, damn it!"
"You're going 85 in a 55! STOP FARTING!"
"Ohhhh, okay, i get you."

Titmouse. :)

"I I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?"
:D

They ROCKED. And the music for Animaniacs was also awesome.


EDIT:Oh btw, Cobbleism is a regular on my show, too - both in music and conversation (and occasional attempts to derail my diatribes ....).
He'd be a good witness to ask. *nods*

Straughn John Silver. I dub thee Straughn John.


If you like it, thank Corona, if you don't, it's all your fault.

Personally, i always think single syllable words are the funniest. some of my favorites are: spool, fork, spleen, tract, cheese and shluck.
Some other multi sylable words i like are: banjo, waffles, hydrant, cubicle, meatloaf, and a name of this pizza place near me, Bortolami's.

Straughn John Silver. I dub thee Straughn John.

hahaha...why am I not surprised you would be a fellow Pinky and the Brain fan?

Brain: Promise me something, Pinky. Never breed.
Pinky: I'll try.

Brain: It must be inordinately taxing to be such a boob.
Pinky: You have no idea.

and you'll have to elaborate on this "show" for me...although I might have a slight idea, I'm still in the dark.



In honor of Pinky, I add these words:
Narf, Zort, Poit, and Troz

the words "Astros", "Bagwell", and "Biggio" make me giggle

can anyone guess WHY?

bubble. RANDOM FLOATING BUBBLE!

did you know shakespeare came up with the word bubble?

Bubbly is better.....escoecially with a staccato-like accent on the "bub-" part...

It still sucks that I cant tune in. Speaking of radio, I called into a local station this mornign and won a contest! I won a gift certificate to a local shop here by listening to 2 seconds of a classic tv theme song.....It was Webster. I won! And I sound so dorky on the radio btw.

oh and another word I giggle at is uvula. I guess cause it sounds like it should be dirty or something.

Focker.

Watch the movies, they are great! :)

Although i don't have the set-up for it, it could be arranged ... but since it's under the NPR umbrella, i imagine i'd have to just copy my shows and disavow any connection whatsoever to my host (legal reasons of distribution)

Argh! That was one of the first i'd considered for the games. Topical, even.
'cept i'd determined that five people would be needed, and i only have four in my band. :( How'd that go?

Oh, and Honky in Black nick'd me something new ... funny you should mention "Almighty", though, since i've got a friend who used that in her email and i still call her that. She is indeed. *nods*

It went pretty well...we used it as a warm up to a blues clues sketch me and my friend wrote where steve got murdered brutally. good times. Same year I had to cross dress.

TMI?

I think I saw Honky in Black's new nickname for you...long straughn silver? Or am I making that up?

The Almighty Straughn seemed fitting since I think I quote you more than just about anyone else, and you've been keeping me amused this last week.

how could I forget the word Monkey?

oh, and the word "bump"?;)

He disappears for long periods of time. We need to put a bell around his neck.

Well, i wouldn't worry about TMI, since this is the net and all, and besides, my posts are just a bit on the disturbing side at times.
Yep, Straughn John Silver, arrr.
And i'm glad i could be of some useful purpose other than to vex Verdigroth!
I'll be intermittant over the next week - we play Monday, Thursday and Friday, and for Tuesday i'll be in Anchorage. The rest of my time is mostly practice, it would appear.

considering our first conversation was the butterscotch story, I'd have to agree. Amusing, but disturbing.

Good times.
