Halping

Halping is non-helpful helping. Derived from a childlike mispronounciation of "helping", halping can be committed by people of all ages, and refers originally to the cheerful non-help provided by children attempting ordinary chores or tasks for the first time.

Halping has since been expanded to refer to any behavior performed with the intention of aiding someone but which instead results in more work or a negative emotional response, often cheerfully not realizing that they are not helping.

"You know, like when your three year old is “halping” you make dinner and it just means that you have to do twice as much work and then give them a bath? Like that. Only less cute."

halfnard

derogatory term for an idiot literally meaning having only one testicle.

"What an idiot! That halfnard over there doesn't know my ass from a hole in the ground."

Haliny

Haliny is a unique name given to someone rare but beautiful. A Haliny cares about everyone - and although they don't like to show it they have beautiful caring hearts. They have great taste in Music and always know how to accessorize even the ugliest outfit. They take nothing for granted and they live life to the fullest, and if you stand in their way, they will beat you up. Any one with the name Haliny has a bright future - although lazy at time they are naturally smart. They also tend to attract attention to themselves unintentionally by asking stupid questions in class, but they light up everybody's day by doing so and make people laugh in the worst of cases. So go get yourself a friend called Haliny, I have one, and she is everything you can want in a friend.

Hey where is Haliny? The whole class room is silent.
