When I read quank I thought it was short for having a quick wank.
The Bat and Fox cards sound quite interesting though. And ducks, well they just quack a lot. Guess that would have been the last in the line-up.
Communication, very important in any (work) relation. For it to last, keep it to an absolute minimum. The lesser the better.
Imagine what could be done with the Bat of Magic. Somehow it reminds me of a Meatloaf song. 🤔
Hahahahah, I never thought of that. The phrase now has so much utility! I should create a coin for it!
I was really surprised at the Bat of Magic. I mean, I could understand all of the rest of them as they were all the usual nonsense cards but magic? In work, that is just bizarre.
I was humming that particular song in my head as soon as I saw it! Even though the picture was an insipid thing!
There's Oxford Dictionary material in that word! It'll be fun to look up rude words again, even under the 'Q'!
Quank - Having a quick wank. [Verb] Or a person who tries to cut corners, skip steps, to reach a goal faster. [Noun]
Quanking - The act of having a quick wank. F.E. "He had a quank before he wend to work this morning." [Verb] Also when a person tries to cheat, cut corners, to get somewhere before others do. F.E. "Yeah right, he won by quanking Mate, it's bleedin obvious innit." [Verb]
It does have potential! 😁👍
And just because it rocks so well:
Ha, I just watched that all the way through. They were never totally my cup of tea but I do like a good live performance and that was a cracker! Must have been quite a gig to go to back in the day.
I think you have defined quank and quankery above better than I could! :O)
My musical preference is defined by how a band its performance holds up on a live stage. Eddy (may he rest in peace) was not at his best in range of voices in this clip. And that is where the whole band shows its strength. It's a blast from the past.
Though I do appreciate a high pitched old school hardrock / heavy-metal now and then myself also.
"Run to da hillllll --- Run for your li-Hiveeee" (See what I did there...? 😁)
Man, if we could make a dictionary extraordinary, now that would be a blast. It would be amongst the forbidden books! (Yet, the better the sales.)🤪
Somehow I can hear JLP now stating something. 🚀
I see what you did there!
I am similar. I have my tastes but I really appreciate a good live performance. It is when you see a band come together and make some magic.
Will we ever see such musical greatness again? Or as one of my friends once put it are we too old to appreciate what currently passes for music?! Yeek, that's whole other subject!
!ENGAGE
Not long ago I talked about this subject with a good friend of mine. How we apparently tend to become more conservative the older we get. And as such we kind of get stuck in what we perceive as really original and the best in music.
So we wont be able to 'enjoy' what the younger generation feel like it is awesome. At least some scientific research seemed to have come to that conclusion.
It had us locked in silence for a while.
"So, you're telling me that those who are young now, one day, somewhere being in their golden ages, will get all happy about some 'bong bong tik tak dingelong dong' crap, as we are about 'Lakeshore Drive', 'Painkiller' or 'Bohemian Rapsody'... !?", My Mate asked in disbelief.
And while I shook my head I replied: "Of course not! That shait wont last. In time they will discover what real music is like. And that will last!"
Then we popped another cap and reminded ourselves again how we really had become the grumpy men we vowed we would never become.
Anyway: "Keep on rocking in the free world!" 🎸
We have the same chats. And if there is a beer or two whilst having them, all the better!
That's the good thing for them, they have such a back catalogue of greats to go through!
You need to have 1000 ENGAGE, in order to use this service.
Haha! OMG! Not that I did, but it was sure darn funny!
It deserves to be in the upcoming Oxford Dictionary update! If only just for laughs. 😄
