I know, the title has got you asking "Ballycumbers.....What?" 

In response to my own blog entry, I have come to find a word which answers 'The Question'.  Taken from a favorite of mine, the quirky Author Douglas Adams(along with John Lloyd) wrote The Deeper Meaning of Liff.  A dictionary of things that there aren't any words for yet.

Hense I bring you...

Ballycumber:  One of the six half-read books lying somewhere in your bed.

I no longer will refer to the 'half-read book' as "A Failure"...

Now just for fun, some other definitions for your reading pleasure...

Ahenny: (adj) The way people stand when examining other people's bookshelves. 

Boothby Graffoe: (n) The man in the pub who slaps people on the back as if they were old friends, when in fact he has no friends, largely on account of this habit.

Falster:(n) A long-winded, dishonest and completely incredible excuse used when the truth would have been completely acceptable.

Kerry: (n) The small twist of skin which separates each sausage on  a string.

Rhymney:(n) That part of a song lyric which you suddenly discover you've been mishearing for years.

Salween: (n) A faint taste of washing -up liquid in a cup of tea.

Sigglesthorne:(n) Anything used in lieu of a toothpick.

And finally...

Yalardy:(n) An illness which you know you've got but which the thermometer refuses to acknowledge.

Ha ha HAAHHHAA   hahahah  HA aha  HA aha  Ah ah!

I hope you had a laugh.

tks

As a footnote:  None of the above definitions were recognised in my spellchecker!!!

Limerance: A psychological term, meaning an obsessive love, a state that's almost like a drug.

I like this word.  Love is like a drug.  When we discover love, it's like a pill dissolving into the blood stream.  Gathering the heartstrings and pulling them around the the body through the veins.  Gathering happiness, smiles, comfort, memories, kisses and cuddles.
