quarklet

If you can imagine a much smaller and younger sister or brother with whom you share DNA but not much else in common, they could be thought of as being a 'quarklet.' Similarly, in the world of atoms, you have protons and neutrons and the things they are made of which are called quarks (i.e. the big brothers or sisters of quarklets) and quarklets (the smaller, irritating, buzzing around everywhere baby quarks). So think of a quarklet as being a baby quark. They will be discovered sometime and their definition will have been first posted on the UD.

"If I were a physicist I would want to be the discoverer of quarklets, because they will turn out to be the building blocks of the universe, mark my words!"

deepshite

Deepshite, is when you're in really bad, possibly terminal trouble in the wild bush in Africa, and you've become a target for predators, like lions, hyenas, crocodiles.

"Mum, I’m going to continue talking to this sodding lion. Know it sometimes helps talking to them quietly if you’re in deepshite, like I am here now in the dawn. Love you, Mum. Know you don’t really love me. . ."

fedupness

'Fedupness' is what mothers get filled up with when they constantly have to tell a child off for being disobedient. The child, however, of course thinks it's totally unfair for the mother to be like that.

"Mum's full of fedupness again. Had a real go at me last night for no reason at all."

now-angel

Another word for a friendly ghost - the departed soul of someone you lived with and loved very dearly

"I so, so wish I had a hotline to my now-angel, so as to ask her where the hell she put that thing before she died two years ago. So frustrating, because it used to live in one place only, but it's not there now!"

bed-killer

A person (usually an adult) who is so terribly overweight and cumbersome that you just know the mattress wont be able to take the strain and that the bed will audibly crack and then sag like a broken matchstick when the overweight person gets onto it - usually by throwing themselves backwards onto the bed.

Wow! Look at the gross size of that man - bet he's a bed-killer.

dewclaw-hooking

Is like when a lion swipes at its prey and hooks one its front paw dewclaws into whatever it's chasing or clouting at, so the prey animal just cant escape.

"I have to stay calm and try and eye-dominate you because if I don’t, and you’re not too thick or lazy, you’re quite capable of rearing up on your hind legs, and then dewclaw-hooking me off this horizontal tree-branch with a swipe of one front paw."
