what does "snarf" mean to you? |
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, the sound you make when you choke on a laugh. |
|
snarf is what you do with jello. well, one of the things you do with jello. |
It is also something you do when food needs to be eaten quickly, often in a car, with only one hand, e.g. "I snarfed some Indian food on the way here." "Oh, that explains the curry stain." "Damnit." |
That would be a chortle. A guffaw. And then a wheeze. It's all fun and games until a lung lands on the table. I think "snarf" is too dorky sounding a word to mean anything serious, which is why it never got far in the "owned" vintage. |
not-liking words is rather stupid i am so tired, let's not go in to work this week |
|
it may be stupid but there are plenty of words i dislike. i encountered a word i hate about an hour ago: putative |
|
|
I have a tic that causes me to kick anyone who uses the word "ownzed" in the balls. This includes all spellings including punctuation and numbers. I have no control over this. |
|
I believe snarf does indeed indicate something getting sucked up into the the nasal passages, often while multi tasking, like driving and eating/drinking, and then an unexpected humourous treat comes along. In my personal experiences, this usually involves a relative amount of discomfort, which then leads to the chortle and guffawing, usually by the lucky other person who gets to observe the snarfer. |
|
|
|
but it is always better to slide into an excited cunt, than to feel your cockskin stretch and jitter when you push in. spitting on your nubbins. etc. cockskin. not the balls, cocks kin, but the skin. though pronounced 'cocks kin', that's a very pleasing work. |
would that be good, like a hummer, or bad, like i can't imagine? |
i don't let things like this disrupt my serenity any more, but the way people misuse the word comprise has recently started to annoy me. most common usage is to say "the united states is comprised of 50 states," and that's just wrong. correct usage is "the united states comprises 50 states." it's a collective, in which the elements are assembled within a particular scope, but most people use it as if it's synonymous with "consists of." it's a cool word when it's used right, but it never is. |
|
though, i agree that it is a better word when used correctly. your correctly, not mine. |
|
i was hoping someone else would have an illuminating comment on this one....but: hunnhh? help! in terms of jell-o, i think i must be less experienced than some of our panelists. what do people do with jell-o? i can think of two things: 1. put liquor in it 2. suck it and swallow it, orally and awkwardly (this sometimes involves 1.) is that the snarf? a snarf? the snarf? or close? or is this one of those...oh, never mind. |
|
Of course, HE DITCHED ME. |
Jello - I make jelly shots for parties. In fact I need to make some tonight for our annual xmas party (you know last year I fell through a window, so maybe this year I shouldn't make them, but I will). |
to eat, esp. voraciously (often fol. by down or up): to scarf down junk food ? |
tr.v. snarfed, snarf·ing, snarfs Slang To eat or drink rapidly or eagerly; devour: snarfed down some cookies. |
|
procrustean. at first, i took it to mean "in favor of aquatic arthropods". but no. that would be "pro-crustacean". according to the oxford english dictionary, it means: adj. (esp. of a framework or system) enforcing uniformity or conformity without to regard to natural variation or individuality: *a fixed procrustean rule* the etymology - procustes: *greek mythology* a robber who forced travelers to lie in a bed and made them fit it by stretching their limbs or cutting off the appropriate length of leg. theseus killed him in like manner. procrustean. use it with your boss; use it with your parents; use it today. |
i don't recall the context. only the greek myth guy. |
Droopy, I saw "Party of One: A Loner's Manifesto" in a bookstore today and thought of you. Snarf is onomatopoeic. |
It's uncomfortably onomatopoeic. |
By Dr Pepper on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 12:54 am: Why do I have to see those sexy Trunk such like Snarf, superman, robin, the gay ambigious duo, and some cartoon super hero, are they gay or sumthing? what? |
|
|
Why do you have to see those sexy Trunk such like Snarf, superman, robin, the gay ambigious duo, and some cartoon super hero, are they gay or something? |
|
|
|
|
thanks, dr pepper. that makes a bit more sense. but what is the "snarf" part? what does "snarf" mean to you? |
|
"In relation to food I think the dog snarfs and I scarf. " love that distinction -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Spider on Friday, December 22, 2006 - 01:40 am: What do they call the phenomenon that involves never having seen a word used, and then you see it once, and then suddenly you see it everywhere? selective attention? |
|
oh, hmm, let's look up in the dictionary and see what the word "Snarf " means to us, but remember, you are the one who started "Snarf" in the first place, not us. Ok, "snarf" mean but can be a few meaning, one is : "grab", and the other is referring to a cartoon with a cat looks like with a aged whisker. |
i don't remember making that post about the word "procrustean". i have never used it, intentionally or unintentially, in conversation. but i think i would use the word "procrustacean". i have used the word "snorfling" on these boards in reference to my boss's dog. it caused confusion for v. for some reason, the word "bimbo" has popped into my head. not in reference to a female, but in reference to the mexican bread company. |
i like the word association game. |
droopy, jack does not understand my question referring to the term words: "trunk". I mean why do super heroes like superman and batman wore trunk, does it show symbol of being sexy or gay? |
|
wonder woman the comic or the tv show? i rememeber that show ran right at the cusp of my puberty and didn't go unnoticed by me. i think you and i are about the same age. you are my valium, dr. pepper. |

I mean why do super heroes like superman and batman wore trunk, does it show symbol of being sexy or gay? -------------- thanks, dr pepper. 1. yes, jaq knows of "dictionary" but no "dictionary" jaq has referenced connects "snarf" with "trunk" "sexy" "gay" etc. jaq needs the "dr pepper dictionary" but jaq doesn't know where to find it except by posting here. thanks for your patience with our earthling queries. 2. sorry about the demanding girl 3. yes, jaq started this thread. thanks for the reminder. you really put jaq in his place with that comment! jaq apologizes! jaq tried to fool you by posting again LATER IN THE THREAD, hoping you would all forget that jaq started this thread! you are too clever for jaq, dr p! props. you win again! 4. you seem to be equating "sexy" with "gay" -- not sure where you're going with that one. but it makes sense in light of the sleepaway camp and transvestite issues. cheerio! 5. jaq now understands that dr pepper questions the sexual preference of cartoon characters. that is illuminating. jaq's question remains unanswered: what does this have to do with "snarf", which is the subject of the thread? 5a. "nothing" would be an acceptable answer. jaq is just asking, cheesequake. |

it's not a bad question, why do they wear them? certainly not very protective or a place to hide helpful gadgets. and it's not as if they chose their outfits, maybe you should be questioning joe shuster and 1930's american culture, or something else. |
|
ohhhhhhh-kay, so, dr pepper: your answer to the question "what does 'snarf' mean to you" is "Why do I have to see those sexy Trunk such like Snarf, superman, robin, the gay ambigious duo, and some cartoon super hero, are they gay or sumthing? "? so a cartoon with cat and aged whisker is named snarf and wearing trunk like gay superman. jaq perhaps understands now. that "snarf" is not in any dictionary jaq can access. jaq also thought "trunk" meant "torso." etc. as you were |
|
jaq mean: gay cartoon cat, right? sexy cartoon gay cat with aged whisker. you can tell sexy and gay by trunk. |
oHH! |
|
|
|
hi dr pepper. sorry about the three year delay. it was partly because i was busy fucking wonderwoman. that kept me busy. i'll tell you the rest in 2012. cheers! |
|
i almost called you but it's probably past 2am and i don't have anything to say but goodnight anyway. goodnight. |
|
|
jaq need serious help. who want to help jaq? dr pepper? heather? anyone? |
By Spider on Friday, December 22, 2006 - 01:40 am: BEHOLD. He cast around for a straw of Procrustean procrastination. I swear, I had never seen that word used until this thread, and suddenly I'm seeing it everywhere. THANK YOU DROOPY |

i found zoloft very useful for a while. |
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
or guns and pharma or sleep |
|
dr pepper! are you authorized to legally prescribe soft drinks in the state of texas? |
i'll try not to get depressed now that my age is starting to show more. my hair is finally beginning to thin. i need reading glasses, though the weakest strength. while reading "at swim-two-birds", a book that can be hard to follow, i kept a piece of notebook paper as a bookmark; when i stopped reading, i immediately wrote down what i had just read because sometimes i wouldn't remember otherwise. |

That is all. |
i bought the complete novels of flann o'brien, but this morning i started "middlesex", the "coming-of-age story of a hermaphrodite". a friend passed it along to me; it was her book club selection. she'd tried to find it in the fort worth library, but they didn't have it; so they told her to go up to burleson (north on the highway to the next county) to get a copy. when she got there, they told her she had to take all three copies the library had. no explanation why. so i got one. both of these books - "a s-t-b" and "middlesex" - are compared to "tristram shandy" on their jackets. i guess i'll have to read that one day. yesterday while putting limp celery sticks into a bowl of water to re-crisp them, i spontaneously used the word "osmose". turns out it's an actual word - the verb form of osmosis. bet you won't suddenly start hearing that everywhere. |
