Macadamias: a hard nut to crack! Ps: also known as the Queensland nut, Maroochi nut. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-01-30: 16:29:00

Aah, Queensland nuts..... I've cracked many in my time using my grandfather's vice under the house, a hammer and a dent in a cement works except when the nut shoots sideways at lightning speed (watch out onlookers!), but I'm set up well these days because I have a nutcracker designed by a Queenslander specially to deal with those tough shells. Super word! - bananabender, 2008-01-30: 23:54:00

Pronunciation: BUY-oh-sphere

Sentence: SexySadie was neat, sweet and complete...as long as her wireless connection remained cooperative. Her first desktop bit the dust when she attempted an on-line purchase and melted her Visa card by inserting it into the A: drive. Seriously chastised, she would coddle her new computer with loving care. Capable of computing until the cows came home, she was trapped in a feedback loop of Verbotomizing, e-mailing and Facebooking, choosing to ignore the creeping back pain her doctor had warned her about. A compressed non-system disk in her spine was bad enough, but her BIOSFEAR was far worse, and could be potentially fatal. If she shut down her Lappy 286, it might never re-boot correctly, and she would become the pathetic owner of a hi-tech doorstop. SexySadie loathed her own inability to stop surfing almost as much as she loved and despised the electronic ogre which kept her a virtual prisoner of her own semi E-rotic addiction. The Electronic Fun Transfers stopped abruptly when the battery created it's own "wireless hot spot" one frosty night and incinerated the tacky velour ottoman she had gotten for a pittance on E-Bay...........................SexySadie oooooh What have you done?

Etymology: BIOS+FEAR=BIOSFEAR.....BIOS:Basic Input/Output System....FEAR:frighten,to have a reverential awe of,expect with alarm,to be afraid of or apprehensive; Middle English feren, from Old English fǣran, from fǣr......(With a subcutaneous reference to BIOSPHERE, an ancient eco-experiment in which volunteers lived in isolation for an extended period of time, not even caring to push the levers which we have provided for them.)

Pronunciation: dihsk-funk-shun

Sentence: Angus tried to think back to how they had met, before all the strife, all the anger. He'd first glimpsed her in Best Buy, on a Sunday afternoon, and from the first moment, they knew how to push each others buttons. She was different from all the other girls...she loved to play video games, check football stats, and look at pornography. Things progressed quickly, until one day his friend Dr. McAffee called. "I know this breaks every doctor-patient confidentiality rule, but she has a virus. We've isolated it, but you might watch her to see if she's been seeing anyone else." It was less than a week later that he found his own son, splayed in front of her radiance, lulled into her sweet siren song of illegal and illicit music and videos. After the fight, and she had gone to sleep, he decided he had restart his life with any hope for their relationship peripheral at best. Theirs was now a diskfunctional love, and he had to remove her from his memory. The liquor cabinet awaited.

Etymology: disfunction + disk (hard or floppy *blush*)
