I thought the revoloutionaries got a a bit nasty in the end. Chopping up anyone they thought was worth chopping up, whatever side they were on.

As soon as I posted that message I knew someone would pick up on it! The months, of course. Chopping people's heads off doesn't turn me on. (As far as I know ...)

That could be a useful word to describe many children. It's the sort of word where others might think you had just concocted it yourself and not believe its age.

In his first link it's neologasm (ie. from the Greek 'neo' and 'logos', new word), then it morphs into neo-l-orgasm! Not that I'm complaining. The more orgasms in this world the better.
