I’m not ignoring you. I haven’t visited your blogs or replied to your comments because I was out all day yesterday; last night; and right now. I will catch up soon, once I’ve recovered from the shock of being out of the house two days in a row.
In the meantime, here’s a task for you:
Spud and I were chatting last night and he said ‘you bodicly’ instead of ‘you bodily’. We decided that it sounds like a real word, and ought to be a real word.
Here is the correct spelling:
EUBODICLY
Now we have to decide what it means. Any suggestions? I told Spud that my readers won’t let me down. No pressure.
not my bodicly but your bodicly in text speak.x
You’ve come to the right place,Tilly Bud. My specialty in language is to attach meaningful definitions to made up words.
This one is fairly easy. When the European Union acts together on an issue or “as one body”, so to speak, it is said that they have acted “eubodicly”.
Wearing a very revealing bodice.
Oh, now I love that one..
Sorry but it sounds like a particularly successful bowel motion?
I don’t know why but I keep getting personal grooming images in my head especially related to follicles. When you are eubodicaly challenged, it means that your hair follicles aren’t properly behaving. I don’t know, do I get an A for effort?
It’s a more scientific term for “globally”! As in, water is a resource that should be available eubodicly. Hmmm…maybe it would be better to say that eubodicly takes the place of 24/7?
I think that’s Tennessee Earnie’s cousin Ubodicly.
Ubodicly is married to Uncle Plunk.
EUBODICLY: adv. quality of being pleased to be a member of the European Union even though your country is going bankrupt.
She eubodicly slid under the covers. :adv. to move in a sexy fashion, usually implying a woman of full figure. lol. That was fun, thanks.
haha! I googled EUBODICLY and out popped a link to your blog. Lol. So no clue, Tilly! Your guess is as good as mine.
My iPhone turned it into “Eu JFK ally” so maybe its some kind of shoulder to shoulder transatlantic alliance.
But I think Eubodically means “with decreasing glory”, inspired by the story of Ichabod. I’ll maybe work on that.
I think it’s an apparatus for doing up a corset e.g. ‘Lady Henrietta’s maid used the recently invented eubodicly to assist her when lacing her mistress into her tight corset.’
Since ‘eubiotics’ is the study of living in a healthy state,
EUBODICLY must mean the healthy way of life (?)
and ‘eubodicitis’ is the inflammation caused by trying to reach the healthy way of life, especially used to describe that muscle tightness and discomfort two days after the first over-enthusiastic aerobics class after two years of not doing any exercise.
I am enjoying the definitions so far so won’t bother trying to compete.
Tilly, it’s when somebody does something that they don’t want everyone to see, for example: She eubodicly waved to her friend at the back of the crowded room. Or: He eubodicly removed the stain from the garment. Or: The kitten eubodicly took the morsel from the dish of the seven other kittens. Or: The commenter eubodicly left a comment…
Stumped. Unless Euclid had a cousin called Eubod.
Good job on being out of the house for two days!! I love coming home and resting after a couple days of being out. It’s so relaxing!
Who knows… eubodicly!
I cleverly reduced my comment workload by responding to all of these in one post:

Hi, Tilly. I participated in your blog about Eubodicly, and I chose Tennessee Earnie, but then you have to say you-bo-Dick-ly! Sounds like Tennessee to me!
Ah, the perils of translation
