Word of the Day

I learned a new word today.

Sporfe - A combination of spoon, fork, and knife.

This is why I love my job. You learn such fascinating things when marking papers. An A+ for creativity and for making the teacher smile but a C for going totally off topic. I should bring work home for the weekend more often. I didn't think it would be this entertaining.

:D

lol What was the topic?

There are some words we learn in the IT industry.

Alpha Geek - the most technologically proficient (and socially inept) person.

Mouse Potato - someone who spends all the time reading blogs and surfing the net.

And here's some of the oldies.

Abdicate - to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

and,

Ignoraus - a person who is both stupid and an a**hole.

Did I go off topic, teach?

Fu: "A splade is a variation of the spork." Okay, I guess your sporks do exist Nauman! Hmm since it does exist I guess the student wasn't that creative .. uh oh wait, does this mean it's plagiarism?!

Mezba: It was a character sketch essay. Mouse Potato sounds cute though! I won't take off marks for you going off topic :D

M&M: Yes, thanks Mezba for enlightening us! But M&M, we need to find you some new hobbies lol.
