That's Mister Potato to you

I liked this quirky collection of random, obscure internet terms, which they could have been making up.

I was particularly struck by the term POTATO - Person Over Thirty Acting Twenty One (or Twenty-one Online). A cruel smack in the face to those of us who've grown old but haven't grown up.

Still, if you're over 30 and you regularly use 'lolz' you deserve to be called much worse than a potato.

On the subject of potatoes, I'd seen this postcard before Elaine blogged it but have no way of proving that now - the secret of true happiness!

Badonkadonk

According to the Copywriter's Compendium I've borrowed from work, this refers to the sound a large woman makes when she sits down (and as such is a derogatory term). I've been thinking though, that it would probably be better used to describe a mammiferous* woman running.

"Whoah, there, Badonkadonk. What are you running for?"

*according to the Superior Person's Book of Words 'mammiferous' means 'large-breasted'.
