Tom's QotD:
Name three words or phrases you wish you'd coined.

Glibido

[glĭ-bē'dō]

noun. All talk, no action. "My glibido is at an all-time high."

adjective, glibidinous.

Origin: Found it on Reader's Digest (it was a prize winner at one of those competitions organised by newspapers/ publishing houses where you add, take away, or change a letter to make a new word with a new meaning. I think this particular one was organised by the Washington Post.)

Ass o'clock

[as-o-klŏk]

noun. That deepest, darkest time of the night when your cat awakes you from the dead for a feeding.

Origin: Found this on Cute Overload, not sure who coined it. Maybe Teho would know.

Cubic Assload

[kyōō'bĭk as-lōd]

noun. Bobavey-speak for overwhelmingly huge, usually in reference to being overloaded with work. "I've got a cubic assload of documents to file, so you can take your 10$ raise and shove it."

It's been a long-standing joke at work that production is always measured in "assloads," eg "I'm off the air at six, but I have an assload of production before I can make happy hour." Great list.

and since it happens every freaking night at my house, you can bep your sweet bippy I'll be using it. often
