Socks - things you can have in abundance but never find as a matching pair and in good condition. They tend to vanish and become holy. It is recommended that one buy at least 100 of them monthly, and all of them exactly the same so that by month's end one might find two good ones. They are known to cause embarrassment whenever one visits anywhere shoes are meant to be removed.

Odor
odor - odd (or) dour airborne essence, the nasal equivalent of blowflies in your kitchen, a high pitched whine, prickles in your socks, the taste of earwax (from memory), and a cold shower in Winter
Not quite a stench, nor a rank reek, just a lowly pong, though it may evolve into something quite evil if left without investigation to its source
bumblebee
bumblebee - a rather endearing insect, which manages to give the impression that if it were a person it'd be the kindly bespectacled proprietor of an old-fashioned sweet shop.
Unfortunately, the bumblebee is often cited by misinformed, muddle-headed loudmouths as some kind of indication of the flawed precepts of science. "According to scientists, a bumble shouldn't be able to fly! They don't know how it works! Amazing, isn't it! They can put a man on the moon but..." And blahblahblah.
Incidentally, scientists do know how a bumblebee can fly. They are baffled, however, as to how people like that avoid being beaten to death by roaming mobs of miltant rationalists wielding lead pipes.
earwig
earwig - 'ere we go again - a merkin for the lugs! What else could it possibly be besides a tiny carnivorous humanbrain muncher with scissorsharp pincers protruding from its arse! God may have designed and manufactured all the other 'sects but this one is the work of Beelzebub Inc and an army of behorned minions! It is rumoured to lay eggs inside the human skull which upon doing the hatch the young thence consume all known neurons for nourishment - well, rumour no more! It happened to me and a few friends a while back. I'm not saying it was a totally bad experience - just 'different' - not something I'd recommend necessarily, but, well, whatcha gonna do?
Forums
Forum - a pleasent, if virtual space lined with a great number of soapboxes, which the incoherent multitudes are permitted to stand upon and bellow loudly in the safe knowledge that no one is listening.
Kettle
kettle - ma and pa oompah band, featuring Tom Kettle on Kettle drums and Beryl Kettle paying the fresh Kettlefish - tragically the one 1/2 hit wonder band from Birmingham U.K. came to sudden end in an horrific Greyhound Bus (okay 'coach') incident involving the luggage doors and a (non-ironically) unplugged kettle - I would go into details but that is an altogether different kettle of fish
Quasar
quasar- some kind of word used in Star Trek or somewhere that few know the meaning of, but many will pretend to know, much like 'black hole' or 'fusion'
Death
Death - not, as some would have it, the only known cure for the disease that is Life, but rather the beginning of new life (this is of course dependent on the nature of the demise - blasted into component atoms at ground zero will eventually see them reabsorbed into other life forms, while being pickled in vinegar and kept in a large specimen jar near the event horizon probably won't)
Life
Life - all things known, and other things perhaps. A very confusing state which we find ourselves stuck in, unaware of alternatives.
Friendship
Friendship - HMS Lollypop, a good ship indeed, though in a bit of need - sister ship to the HMS Loveboat, which is in turn the sister ship to the Starship Enterprise in an alternate universe
Three concurrent entwined stories per episode, Captain (Baldy)Stubing/(Baldy)Picard setting Gopher/Number One straight on a few life-matters, and getting the remaining crewmembers lovelives straightened out ('Just don't fraternise with the passengers')
In one episode (Ships Full Of) the three ships meet in a wormhole with zany and quite hysterical consequences
Boiling Point
Boiling Point The moment when your mother finally gets tired of the same old story and precedes to grill you about what really happened
Prison
Prison - The place where you get intrigue by the same sex...
Hunger
Hunger - For some, a real concern; for others, something akin to boredom.
Curiosity
curiosity - one time out of ten a longterm catnap, the other nine times something to get whetted
tiger
tiger Large striped cat. Also one whose virility is somewhat akin to the striped one's abilities
