Wobbie's Wamblings

As many of you already may have noticed, I enjoy words. Whether they are alliterated, palindromical or they just sound good. But I am also linguistically retarded. Probably the main reason why I am a civil engineering student instead of starting my doctorate of the English language. 

But something I always think about is who gets to invent words? I want to invent words when I grow up. Words like dip, mug, robust, spiflicate, ointment, plunge and elongate. All aesthetically pleasing words. Please feel free to post more aesthetically pleasing words. Aesthetically is a large word for an engineering student, Spell it? 

After spending last November in social solitary confinement because I was masculine enough to attempt to grow a moustache. It made me consider, am I being verbally and physically taunted by people who secretly wish they could look this masculine if themselves could grow a moustache. You don’t have to look far to see how cool a hairy top lip can be. Exhibit A: Ron Burgundy, keeping San Diego classy and Exhibit B: this guy from the Nott. I am very pleased to see some potential around Deakin this year in the Moustache department, especially in Jo (The Prodigy) Sleeman- Bailey. Can’t wait for Movember lads.

Exhibit A   

Exhibit B 

Is there any worse than shallow pockets or a bad pen? They are two things that make me disgruntled but I recently learnt that there is also nothing worse than sitting in a 2 hour lecture with BO circulation in around my vicinity. Also there is nothing worse than….. 
- Peach overtaking you in Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64. She does get around a lot.

- Peak hour traffic.

- A gym junkie.

- The menu button doesn’t work on your Ipod.

- Compression braking.

- A reversing truck (Mel (Bite Me) Bateman’s favourite).

- Bendigo 
 

If it takes two men three hours to dig a hole. How long does it take one man to dig half a hole?
