Plot Eel 

Often thought of as a little darker or more sinister cousin to the plot bunny, Plot Eels can be slippery and hard to wrangle. Where plot bunnies multiply and hop around your brain until you jot them down. Plot Eels live in Plot Holes, they are the things you invent to resolve conflicts. They slither into your thoughts and hiss into your ear the solutions that you should write down, before dragging you into the depths with them.

Plot Eels come in different forms from time to time, some are slippery and hard to wrangle, but they can also be toothy and give you quite a shock.
"Curses, I really thought I was going to finish that chapter tonight, but I had to go hunting for a Plot Eel instead."

"I have a new Plot Eel tugging at me today, I'm excited to explore where it goes! I don't think I'll get much done on my main project though."

"I thought this was going to be such a fluffy scene but then the plot eels dragged me to the angsty side"

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
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.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
