I love choices, so long as they are unimportant. Ask me to choose a new house, new furniture or the winner of the X-Factor and I pick the first one I see, to avoid meltdown. Better yet, I get the Hub to choose: if it all goes wrong, it’s his fault. What you call a win-win situation.
But ask me to participate in a survey or poll, and I’m your man. I never met a doorstep pollster I didn’t invite into my home. I helped redefine the Open University’s website during the 2000s, by my simple yeas or nays to their proffered options. I love knowing that I’m one of the eight out of ten owners who said their cats preferred it.
Imagine my ecstasy, then, when I discovered WordPress had a poll feature. I brought you polls on what I should call my first-born; which Friend you are; what theme I should use; what I should post; when I should post; if should I post polls at all…you said ‘no’ to that last one, so I stopped canvassing your opinion and sulked a bit.
Today, because it’s spring, because I have nothing to write about, and because I really do value your opinion, I bring you a new poll. Ignore it if you want, but remember: you provided the answers in the first place; and if you want to be one of the eight out of ten bloggers who said their readers preferred it, you need to say so.
You received quite a few definitions, you have a loyal and faithful following. That is how it should be, I can’t wait to see the results of the vote.
That was fun. I ignored my own suggestion – others were so much better.
You are totally hysterical!
I loved your poll. I didn’t know there could be so many definition for eubodicly.
It’s a made-up word, so we are choosing the definition. Or, rather: YOU are choosing the definition.
I typed the word into the search box and it sent me to the Laughing Housewife. Better ask her which one is right. Dianne
No, YOU have to choose
So you allow yourself the casting vote in case of a tie?
that was meant to be ‘Do’ not ‘so’ – (there’s no markings on the keyboard any more over ASDF. Also missing is this letter: C. Not much left of L and H either.)
Time for a new keyboard, I think
Don’t buy a German one, like the Hub, otherwise you will have just typed tinme for anew leunpygs, I yjoml :p , like I just did.
:S
seems a little extravagant to go and buy one. Tippex may work….
No, I’ve already voted.
This is fun. Like Viv, I decided not to go for my own suggestion (although I still quite like it).
I think we ought to alert the Oxford Dictionary people, Tilly. It is only a matter of time before this word goes viral
If only! I’m still waiting for that to happen to ‘techneptitude’.
I see I am one of the majority. So good to see some of us look for the meaning with the most fun
Shows the level of my readers
oi, we are great fun loving people
I never doubted it
I’ve choosed! But not very well.
There are no wrong answers when you make it up as you go along
Working that word eh?
Great definitions! I chose the hair follicles one. It just sounds right somehow…
What are you doing way back in the past?
Ooh, I didn’t reealise it was so old! It came up as one of the suggested posts in one of those “The Laughing Housewife liked your post” e-mails :-/
