Frittering my life away, latibulating on my corner computer, earning skins, frippery, for my gaming character, while wearing my haku...a gaming headset.

My life motto:

Latibulating and Masturbating

masturbulating

I once got arrested for latibulating in public. It was unreal.

Is there a stronger word than latibulate? In today’s world I think I could do with it.

Interesting. Those words really do exist. I looked them all up. But haku seems to mean kingfish - so not something one wears on the head or is it?

Haku is a Hawaiian word. Haku leis are worn on the head.

Sounds like we gotta make a trip to the Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows https://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/

That sounds awesome, but in practice perhaps it should be called the dictionary of bad web design. I get one tiny column on the left side of my phone screen. The "Continue" and "Archive" buttons/links are seemingly only at the very bottom of the page, and they don't work when tapped on.

Is there an obscure sorrow in the dictionary for that?

The wends, perhaps?

The terrible formatting is basically because it's a blog in which each word is posted as the writer comes up with them rather than being an actual dictionary. I have the book and it's somewhat better sorted, but even then it's grouped into general themes rather than alphabetical order

Haku is a verb not a noun, its a style of lei making.

I really enjoy this.

I like these words:)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way-ee-yaay!

Latibulate is a quality word which I will most certainly add to my vocabulary.
