Jun 1 Word of the Day
The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.
The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.
The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.
Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...
Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

Is a real word that was coined by Warren G. Harding, at the time it meant nothing except a misused word representing normality. Normalcy does appear in many prominent dictionaries today.

basically, this word is what the other people have said, but it was not invented by Bush, it was invented by Warren G. Harding.
Warren G. Harding is a President
G. Warren Nutter is my grandfather
ooooo... similarity
i have to say the word normalcy to be accepted, so there.

A corruption of the word normality, propogated by American news networks.
Possibly originally a Bushism which has filtered into popular use.

Normalcy is perversion. Normality is OK. If a speaker is a pervert, normalcy is ok for the speaker, but not for us, normal people. Being black/red/yellow/brown/white is normal.
Respecting women, old people, children, people with some health conditions is normal. Claiming perverts normal people is a new normalcy, i.e. perversion that is, should be banned in civilised societies.

Seriously, normalcy is a real word. Look it up in the professional dictionary, Merriam-Webster actually names it as "the state of being normal".
His normalcy was beyond comprehension to the eccentric clown trio. They did not hire him into their group because there was nothing unique about him.
"Damn normal people and their normalcy," said the big clown.
"Now you know better than to hate others for being different," said the lame understanding clown with funky lips.
"Yeah, but this guy isn't different, he's the definition of normalcy! There's nothing different about normalcy, it's just normal!" said the smacked-up-on-pills clown.
"Oh. I guess you're right, maybe we should hate him then." replied the lame understanding clown with funky lips.
