Quote:I like very much these two words:
Belligerent Design ( prop n). Offshoot of creationism which holds that the universe was created by a higher being who was in a very bad mood at the time, and that evolution alone cannot account for there being so many nettles. (50-1 bar)
Mourinho (adj). Mournful in the face of certain victory; bearing the hallmarks of a sore winner.
They are both a couple of good ones. I believe Winston Churchill in the end suffered from 'Mourinho' when he realised victory would end his career... You could say he faced a pyrrhic victory of a sort.
Belligerent Design! - love it! How many times over the years have we been driven to look heavenward to ask 'WHY? WHAT COSMIC PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE THAT SUCH-AND-SUCH HAS BEEN A MISERABLE DISASTER... ?
We should invent some new words of our own. I'll kick it off with:
Guanophiliacs: These are eccentric individuals who are not too dissimilar to
coprophiliacs - but who gather once a year at a seaside resort to compete for who can gather more seagull **** on their dark overcoats than their rivals. Hundreds each year gather at the seaside resort of Blackpool for this televised annual event which attracts a large audience right across the country.
