Expanding My Vocabulary…

December 19th, 2008

Today’s word of the day is “swaffelen”.

According to the UPI:

A Dutch dictionary company says Web visitors have voted “swaffelen” — an English slang verb meaning to swing one’s exposed penis — as the word of the year.

Van Dale Publishers said swaffelen, which more specifically requires the penis in question to swing toward or bump against another person or object to qualify, topped the list of nominees by receiving 57 percent of the 16,000 online votes, Expatica reported Tuesday.

I’m not sure why but it really struck me as hilarious that over 8,000 people voted for this as word of the year.  Can you imagine trying to work it into a casual conversation?

    … and in my dream, it was 5 a.m. and the crowd pressing against the still closed doors of Best Buy, were all men – naked men. They were all there, as i was for one thing. That year-end 2 for the price of one sale on that Sony 46″ HDTV. Why we were all naked was a mystery, but finally the doors slid open and there was a rush forward. OUCH slipped and on my knees struggling to get back up, being SWAFFELENED by at least a hundred penises. Then i awoke. What does this mean?

    I cannot think of a time ever where I would use that word. People are weird.

    I am so glad you brought this up:)
    Because Dee over at Sexy Whispers, in her latest interview, has been talking about being “Dick-matized” which I think is very swaffelen in tone.

    Thats all women think about!

    Some people have no imagination. They would “swallow” anything that the media presents.
