Funism is anything that can inspire joy or playfulness in the lives of others. It's about trying to make the world a happier place.It's an ideology. It's a philosophy. Funism is like alcoholism, except you don't have to have a hangover when it's over. It's cheaper than anti-depressants and has better side effects.

Participants of FUNism are often seen wearing wax lips while driving to help prevent road rage in others, leaving tiny toys for others to find or sticking google eyes onto objects (Like Fire Hydrants) for other's to find. Positive, inspirational chalk messages are often seen on city streets and attributed to Funism.

Funism if FREE, but the "Heart Hug" is copyrighted. Dr. Seuss is the patron saint of Funism (Fun is Good), K.P. Rennie is the primary curator and perpetuator.

A collection of Funism images can be found using the hashtag FUNISM on instagram. Photos of mermaids all over the globe can be found on Facebook at:The Fun Zone, The Center for the Study of FUNism or facebook/funism.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

Cubism and realism are fine, but my favorite art movement is funism.

I teasingly kiss my partners neck in public. They get embarrassed, so they make sure to funish me to make me embarrassed. To do that, They whisper kinky things in my ear making me go silent and red. We then laugh about how they funished me later.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
