Useful for spread-betting, no doubt.

When I recently mentioned the real word GRUE

No-one's ever seen a Grue. The infra-red goggles are a trap.

I was listening to a song about a bus crashing into a bridge this afternoon.
A bus has now crashed into a bridge.

I don't know whether to call NASA or start a stage act.

Athlethism - just heard it in a radio report. Apparently it's a high fashion word..means sports wear that's glamorous...

Now then, where is the line on this? I always thought tracksuit wearing people where slated by some others in loftier positions?

Parsimony....as in my managers at work.

Great unwillingness to spend money or use resources

Obsequious

Got that one years ago playing a game on the Sega, Starflight, I think. It was used to describe a race aliens that would suck up to you and then **** you over a little later down the line.

Anyway, to me at least, obsequious is almost an onomatopoeia; the bodily contortions, sweaty hand clasping and facial expressions etc.
