I just remembered something that one of the girls at work was telling her friend. This was in SA, so maybe it is unique to that country, but I wanted to know if any of you have ever heard or used the term 'sneeble-greeber'
-
Can you guess what a sneeble-greeber is?
-
Sounds like it should be one of the baddies in a Harry Potter book..
So come on, WTF is it?
-
It is a furtive individual whose main pastime is sniffing girls' bicycle seats.
I kid you not, that is what the girl told me.
-
Riiiiiiiiight... :roll:
At least I've learnt a new word to use in Scrabble, cos let's face it I'm never gonna need to use it in everyday conversation.
-
:laugh:
Come on Doobrey, you know you want to use that term. Call your boss a sneeble-greeber, I dare you.
Now, as a development of the sneeble-greeber discussion, in which several of the young ladies were adamant that it is a genetic affliction and that merely posessing a nose and a Y chromosome makes the individual a potential sneeble-greeber, one of us guys came up with another term (we claimed to have researched it carefully): boffle-wafter.
It was 1-1 after that, because everyone knows that a boffle-wafter is an unsavoury woman who goes around sniffing mens' cricket boxes. (http://www.cricketsupplies.com/showpicture.asp?productid=CTRD04)
Hey I don't make the rules, I only play by them.

@X-Ray:
Come on Doobrey, you know you want to use that term.
I'm with you, mate. :lol:
Sneeble-greeber! Hahaha - fantastic. It's in my vocabulary now anyway - cheers. :pint:
I'll be calling my mates that before you can say, well, sneeble-greeber. :-)
Boffle-wafter isn't too shabby either but I think sneeble-greeber just edges it by a nose.
-
:-P
I wish I could call my boss a sneeble-greeber, but then I'd have to fire myself.
BTW, did you ever see that Jasper Carrott show when he was talking about learning cricket at school?.. he picked up a box and put it on thinking it was a nose and mouth guard..yeuck..

"..Boffle-wafter isn't too shabby either but I think sneeble-greeber just edges it by a nose..."

:laughing: :roflmao:
@ Doobrey
Well then Jasper is a certified boffle-wafter, no doubt about it WE KNOW!!
-
Hahaha.... altogether now:
"Jasper Carrott
He's such a boffle-wafter
Jasper Carrott
Has an itchy nose"
I'll never be able to think of Jasper the same way again.
:lol:
-
Jasper needs our help!!
/me looks for Boffle-Wafters Anonymous in the Yellow Pages.
(but he looks very much like a sneeble-greeber too)
Jasper Greeber, middle name Sneeble.
-
(but he looks very much like a sneeble-greeber too)
J
He's a blooming, great, sneeble-wafitng boffle-greeber, the naughty so and so that he is.
-
And what about Simon Cowell?
He is most definitely a rancid boffle-sneebling pus-ridden waft-greeber
-
Ooooh - Cowell. Couldn't have put it better myself. :-)
-
Dammit, I have an attack of the irrational chuckles.
Can't shake it, I wish I had never dug that frikken phrase sneeble-greeber out of the pit of my mind.
Sneeble-greeber.
Dammit, man. Dammit all.
-
:roflmao:
It's almost something you'd hear of in a Roald Dahl book. "The Big Friendly Sneeble Greeber"
-
So, would you say a person "Greebs the sneeble" ?
-
That would seem to be a pefectly acceptable description, yes.
JUDGE: And Mrs Rowntree, when you looked out of your window what did you see?
INNES ROWNTREE: I saw the defendant, erm Mr Cowell, stooping over my bicycle, which I had left propped against the wall of my dear friend's house - Mrs Pope.
JUDGE: What happened next, Mrs Rowntree?
INNES ROWNTREE: I was most perplexed and I called my dear friend Mrs Pope over to the window to see what Mr Cowell was doing.
JUDGE: And did she witness Mr Cowell stooping at the bicycle?
INNES ROWNTREE: Yes, Your Honour, she did.
JUDGE: Did she make any utterance or comment?
INNES ROWNTREE: Yes, Your Honour, she did.
JUDGE: What did she say?
INNES ROWNTREE (blushing): She said 'I say, that knave is greebing the sneeble!'
(much oohing and aahing and shaking of heads amongst the witnesses)

"...It's almost something you'd hear of in a Roald Dahl book. "The Big Friendly Sneeble Greeber"...."
-------------------------------------------------------
Ja, it could also lend itself to a Dr Seuss character.
"...and the Sneeble Greeber sneebled, and the Sneeble Greeber greebled, and he sneebled and greebled until there were no sneebles to greeble..."
-
@ Wilse
A thought just struck me...it must dead frikken funny to hear the term 'sneeble-greeber' in your Scottish accent. Please, we gotta have an MP3 of you saying it.
And boffle-wafter..that has to be a good one too.

You've just given me a brainwave (and there was me trying to rest the other greycell this weekend) :idea:
We've had 'Faces of Amiga.org'...
what about 'Voices of Amiga.org' or 'Sneeble-greebers anonymous',
where users post soundclips of themselves saying 'My name is xxxx and I'm proud to be a sneeble-greeber/bottle wafter' (delete as applicable)
Maybe even setup a poll, with the most stupid sounding entry winning a used bike seat or something..
-
That is capital, old chap!!!
I say we do it! I like it!
(Perhaps a certain young lady in Aberdeen would donate said bicycle seat, to 'keep it real' as it were).

Chamone! Yo' greebed this sneeble.
-
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple sneeble-greeber
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple sneeble-greeber)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple sneeble-greeber
Sure looks strange to me
-
Ye olde sneeble-greeber is a hell of a thing, yes.
-
"Thou dost not have thy sneeble greebed for there are feeble sneeble-greebers amongst us!"
*SCNR*
-
Bumpity!
-
What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here.
