Webiste

This neologism started off life as a typo but I believe it deserves a better fate. Webiste claims 930,000 Google hits in April, 2007 which means that it now deserves to be taken seriously. The meaning I feel that best suits the word is "a lover of Websites" i.e. a Website-ophile.

I've worked with half-a-dozen Web-designers before, but I have to say that Joe is a real Webiste and I'd never work with anyone else on a project again.

half a crown

£2.50 Two Pounds and Fifty pence in modern parlance. In 'old money' 2/6 two shillings and sixpence = twelve-and-a-half 'p', but with the rise of inflation, half a crown has more of a resonance with £2.50p

Hey Malcolm, can I have half a crown to cover your entry money for next year's Middlesex League?

Shpereicfic

Shaped like a Potato. Potato-shaped.

i) That guest-lecturer we had in last week was rather Shpereicfic.

ii) "Potatoes, Shmotatoes." "True, but anything with a Shpereicfic shape gets my vote!"

accountabilabuddy

When you get into some sort of trouble and need someone to form a spurious alibi you need an accountabilabuddy.

I was late for the WI meeting yet again! Fortunately, my accountabilabuddy, Hattie, came up with another of her cockamamie excuses for me.

math

It's all about numbers.

Easy math is about numbers 3+3=6. Advanced math is about letters a+b=c.

baker's hundred

a baker's hundred is 110 or $110 or £110.

The decorator asked me for a ton but I gave him a baker's hundred as I could see he'd done a really good job!

Pi Day

In Europe, this day is celebrated on 22nd July. Pi used to be calculated in Ancient Greece as a fraction loosely calculated as 22/7.

Hey Joe, are you going to be having Pizza Pie or Apple Pie to celebrate this year's Pi Day?
