Lyroglypics (noun): When someone posts random lyrics to FaceBook, Twitter, or Myspace as a status and the rest of the planet has no idea what the words mean.

Approximate British equivalent of the American playground term cooties, meaning a fictitious, yet highly infectious disease. Unlike cooties, now used by adults to refer to an general undefined infectious malady.

Normally used in the form "the dreaded lurgy".

The term originates from an episode of the 1950s radio comedy "The Goon Show" in which an epidemic of "The Dreaded Lurgi" was said to be about to sweep across Britain. It turned out that the lurgi was in fact a ficitious disease created by brass instrument makers who had claimed that no brass band player had ever died of the lurgi (thereby increasing sales hugely).

"The Goon Show" was an anarchic and surreal radio comedy series that starred Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. It was written by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes.
I think I've got the dreaded lurgy.

He's not coming into work today, apparently he's coming down with a lurgy.

I'm not quite sure what's wrong. Just some form of lurgy.

Urgh. You've got the LURGY!

A handful of contract workers who are so ass cheap, they refuse to miss a day's pay and come into work and bring in their cootie bug germies and infect everyone.
Thank god its the last day of working in the Lurgy Lounge for a few weeks.

Tired of listening to the sporking, hucking and borking of the guys in the Lurgy Lounge
