Frittering my life away, latibulating on my corner computer, earning skins, frippery, for my gaming character, while wearing my haku...a gaming headset.

My life motto:

Latibulating and Masturbating

[-] don@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

I once got arrested for latibulating in public. It was unreal.

Sounds like we gotta make a trip to the Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows https://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

That sounds awesome, but in practice perhaps it should be called the dictionary of bad web design. I get one tiny column on the left side of my phone screen. The "Continue" and "Archive" buttons/links are seemingly only at the very bottom of the page, and they don't work when tapped on.

Is there an obscure sorrow in the dictionary for that?

[-] Skua@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

The wends, perhaps?

The terrible formatting is basically because it's a blog in which each word is posted as the writer comes up with them rather than being an actual dictionary. I have the book and it's somewhat better sorted, but even then it's grouped into general themes rather than alphabetical order

Is there a stronger word than latibulate? In today’s world I think I could do with it.

Interesting. Those words really do exist. I looked them all up. But haku seems to mean kingfish - so not something one wears on the head or is it?

[-] mwproductions@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Haku is a Hawaiian word. Haku leis are worn on the head.

Collins only gives fish, a few others only give flowers:

Ha. Thanks. It smelled like deception to me, now I'm at ease. ;)

[-] Mr_wright808@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Haku is a verb not a noun, its a style of lei making.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I really enjoy this.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way-ee-yaay!

Latibulate is a quality word which I will most certainly add to my vocabulary.

The Pink Floyd made me wanna say listen to some Mars Volta for a plethora of new words. Deloused in the Comatorium is filled with songs almost entirely consisting of unused language.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've never even heard of Mars Volta, but I'll definitely check them out now!

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I like these words:)
