cost saving

Taking some action that will stop an identified cause of cash loss.

We saved loads by microwaving the cat. Not only did we reduce our food shop bill, but we also had a hearty protein rich meal for free!

Bear Shaving

The efforts we go to to deal with the symptoms of a problem rather than the root cause of the problem.

You have an eating disorder and as a solution you have a gastric band fitted. This is Bear Shaving. The real solution is to get to the root cause of the eating disorder and deal with it.

Global warming is causing the bears to overheat. Solution Shave the bears.

swainal

Swainal is the feeling one gets when one wakes up knowing, or suddenly recalls the memory of, the effects of a hard night before (the definition of 'hard' is up for grabs).

Swainal isn't the feeling of having done something bad per se, rather something bad having happened to you. The effects of the Swainal are widespread and may remain for some time, although the onset is only momentary at best.

Like all good tales, Swainal is associated with a particular person, but also like all good tales - the feeling exists in more groups of people than one might expect.

"Yeah, he was telling me that... oh sh*t, I just remembered I was.. uh..."
*shudder*
"Um, can you hold my seat? I just remembered Swainal last night and.. I... uh.."
*shudder*
"Nevermind."
