"Slasturd" Should Be A Word
Slasturd. That’s the word Blogger asked me to type for “word verification” purposes. (It has always given me made-up words so I’m not sure about that “verification” part.) I was commenting about a crocheted meerkat over at Water Rose when Blogger told me to type “slasturd” into its little box there. This is an awesome word! Awesome, I type convincingly with no evidence to support my claim other than the awesomeness of the word itself. Look at it. It glows. Plus, it is proof that computers have intelligence, as measured by the Amusezinger Scale of Justice, a world-renowned scientific and philosophical theorem I made up.
People, I want to open the diction-ary and find this listed as a real, live word. Like “Pinocchio,” which, until it appeared in that Disney cartoon, wasn’t a real word. Some ideas on what we could use slasturd for:

Ahem! I love it! Granny J, over at Walking Prescott blogspot had a similar idea months ago--and I never see a 'captcha' word without thinking of it--to make up a definition for each captcha word(that's what they're really called. Didn't you know that?;-)...uh, anyway, make up a definition for each one and post them...somewhere. She wanted it to be a "movement" and I tried, but at the time not so many were using word verification(very suggestive terminology, I agree), so it seemed to go nowhere. Seeing more of it these days, what with spam rising and all, so maybe it's time...?
Anyways, on to "slasturd." I gotta admit, that's a really good one. My definition: a guy(or gal; gotta be modern!;-) who doesn't pay his/her child support. See: "slacker," plus "turd," and the "s" in the middle, we all know what that stands for. Right?
Howzzat? You gonna talk about me now? ;-)
PS: Crap! I just looked again. I gotta wait 'til May 1st!
So anyhow, wanna start a captcha word dictionary revolution? I'm sure Granny J would be delighted. And we'll all get to purge some subconscious bs and whatnot...it'll be fun!
Eh?
So far you're the only entrant, A.Decker. Nice entry and you may win by default. It'd be like a double win, only by half.
STURD: nerd (nurd) + stud = sturd.
Therefore, SLASTURD is a studly nerd who is a member of SLA.
Yeah, I know it's a stretch, but that's all I got :o)
P.S. If such a thing already exists, please accept my apologies. My excuse is that I live under a rock somewhere in central Alabama.
