bleatchild

The type of person who whines and whinges away very loudly in public about something that is utterly irrelevant to everybody in the vicinity. The person whose type of loud whiny voice you just cannot escape from - particularly if you trying to enjoy a meal in a nice restaurant, or if you are on a train journey, or somewhere quiet just trying to read a good book. The 'bleatchild' arrives and his or her voice then infects everyone's personal space for yards and yards around.

"That irritating bleatchild sitting four tables away from us is really going to spoil my meal - are you okay if we just walk out now before ordering? I just can't stand that type of voice!"

urbinned

The devastating feeling, or state of existence, or situation that arises when you have to explain to someone that the word you really loved, and which you really thought would be accepted by the urban dictionary - has instead been almost immediately binned and trashed by the editors

"I've just been totally urbinned! My word's been dumped, rejected, trashed, call it what you like - all within minutes of my submitting it!"

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."

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!"

quantum dissipation mode

When something is completely quantum un-entangled from the world around it.

"My physics professor speculates that ghosts exist in quantum dissipation mode most of the time. However, he says that if their quarklets manage to get entangled again, they then become visible to us. It must be really cool to be a Prof and think crazy thoughts, but get paid for it."

second bestness

Second bestness is when you know you are not the first choice if somebody asks you to be someone (wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend) or to do something (i.e. become the boss). You know that someone else was first choice and altough you accept the offer, it rankles and stays wth you forever, turning you into a bitter, overbearing person.

"I think Mum's feeling of second bestness is why she's always so horrible to me - knows Dad wanted to or should have married someone else."

enuff

The way "enough" should be written. It's stronger and not as benign-sounding as "enough"

"Anyway, enuff for now, cos I have to be up before dawn. So, need sleep before I escape down to the valley to hopefully get some good photos for my school photography project.
