| 1. | Perthed | |
|
A verb originating from the small world phenomenon. Normally six degrees of separation are said to connect everybody, but one only needs to go about three degrees to connect the residents of Perth, Western Australia (remotest mainland city in the world) to each other. Usually the residents are quite surprised when they discover that . "My head's still spinning from being Perthed again this weekend!"
"Wow, my parents' neighbour is the hospital, in the bed next to my wife. What a Perthing!" (ie, the chain is wife-speaker-parents-neighbour) |
