- Ok, Ok. I know what a newbie is. I grok wannafuck and clueless.
- I get *splatted-explitive* and dotted!adjective_noun.pairs. I
- understand flaming (the highest form of humor if you can't think
- of a pun).
-
- But can somebody tell me what a boink is? I mean, I know what a
- boink *is*. It is a social gathing of net.conversants for the
- purposes of name_face.association, conversation, and merriment
- (e.g.: Tina showed up at the *boink*, took one look around at all
- the flabby nerds, then, pausing only long enough to dab on another
- layer of rouge, skeedadled off to the meat-market.) But what is
- the origin of the word?
-
- One other thing. Does anyone know how I can get Desiree to marry me?
- I think it would be great. Not only would I get articulate nagging
- ("nag French to me again, Des"), I would also have my own flame-
- thrower for personal defence. ("Really, that's what my boss said.
- Call him up, Des.")
-
- -charlie "Confound it, Drusilla, glove me. The game's about to begin."
