Colleactive/Creative? nouns

New words/expressions/vocab e.t.c have always fascinated me and I find myself more drawn to the thesaurus. A discussion about a rendezvous with a friend led me to the oh-so wonderful world of collective nouns. That was one of the terrifying lessons in grammar class back in the day but me thinks I have a solution for that. For starters;

What do you call a group of proctologists?
A buttload of proctologists ....hahahahahahahaha
(Arrrmm incase you missed the joke, a proctologist is basically a doctor who deals in matters of the butt/arse)

What do you call a group of prostitutes?
An anthology of prostitutes

These were my top 2:) and before you conclude that I have way too much time on my hands, check out the sources of these hilarious collections of collective nouns
I also found some truly mind boggling ones like 'An ex cathedra of professors emeriti', 'A scare of Security Engineers'(true true! I work in a firm with those types and it can get quite scary )

So then the myth that collective nouns are boring is well BUSTED!

Re-invented...

It's Friday, the weather in KL has been completely un-understandable(yes I know that word doesnt exist)...and I've decided to change the face of this blog..whoa!

I belong in Paris?

Now then, I found this little gem on this gorgeous Indian gal's blog and so I decided to give it a shot. The results are shocking! Apparently I belong to Paris??

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and a little sassy, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine, the men! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

What City Do You Belong In?

Not that I have been there but something tells me that assessment is flawed...hmmm

Get a personality?

I had a hearty discussion with a friend yesterday which ended up at the question, what kind of chics do you go for? To which he quickly responded...someone with a PERSONALITY. Sounds quite basic eih? So I asked, personality like how? That was followed by the usual n minutes of one struggling to answer this in the best way possible(there is always copious amounts of you know, you see, get it?) and I realised how many times we actually use umbrella words like that without actually zeroing in on the real answer.
Now if you have ever answered that question in the same way, raise your hand. Yes you, I see you. If your hand aint raised, I'm impressed but not convinced:).
Thus I went on a quest to find out the meaning of having a personality..you know just incase you need to know this in order to define your relationships (get rid of someone, get together with someone, find an excuse to not be with someone e.t.c)..Ok this is clearly random..but moving on.

So then, a personality....there are 50 million descriptions/synonyms e.t. ranging from the psychlogical stuff like character, traits, behaviour all the way to the random/gramatical stuff like celebrity. So basically having a personality goes from someone's set of characteristics TO being Brad Pitt, Will Smith or whoever else falls into that celebrity category.

So then, if you are keen to find it if you have a personality, you may want to check some definitions Definitions of personality on the Web

After reading some of these, I have to add that is a very nasty thing to say to someone that they lack personality...I think?

Sigh..I'm so random...

Once upon a Kenya....

And so you find yourself in Kenya on Chinese new year....ok correction...u whiz to Kenya over the CNY and what do you do?..Laze the beach at the coast, cure your jungle fever by going to the real jungle a.k.a Maasai Mara, eat as much nyama choma as can be found(Rift valley fever not withstanding)....no more talking, check this for visuals
