A Reminder
Sent to me by a friend, origins unknown.
Floofture
Floofture (floofinition) – a housepet’s complaints, lecture, or explanation to people about what’s going on, dissatisfies them, or intrigues them.
In use: “As she hurried to dress to go to her friend’s party, Cammie followed her with a mewing floofture about the lack of attention she was receiving, or the break in routine, or, perhaps, the hurried pace. It was hard to say what it was, but with the volume extensive floofturing, it was probably all that and more.”
Conflooftation
Conflooftation (floofinition) – 1. A housepet’s intense attention or focus; 2. The act of a person or people admiring an animal.
In use: “He held a treat up. Sitting, the retriever became a study in conflooftation as her eyes found and stayed on the treat.”
Liberfloofian
Liberfloofian (floofinition) – a collection of philosophies and movements seeking to maximize and uphold freedom and equality for animals.
In use: “What has liberfloofians concerned is a social sense that animals are less worthy to live and exist only as sport or food for humans.”
Floofzen
Floofzen (floofinition) – a continuous process to improve the lives of all animals, educate people about animal behavior, reduce fears and anxieties about animals, and end animal abuse and hunting.
In use: “Social media has become a powerful tool for floofzen as animal abuse and trophy-hunting incidents are put under the spotlight, and rescue organizations reach across geographic and economic boundaries to help each other rescue animals and stop abuse.”
Laurel
I met a woman named Laurel today. She’s young and pleasant. I began wondering about her name. I’ve never met anyone named Oak or Maple as a first name. No Pine or Spruce. I’ve heard of Willows and Magnolias but have never met them.
What about Spruce? It’s in use, but way down at #12,611 in 2018 according to BabyCenter, and it’s a boy’s name.
I can imagine a female named Spruce. “Hello, I’m Spruce.”
“Oh, pleased to meet you, Spruce. Lovely name, by the way.”
We shake hands. “Thank you. I’m named after a tree.”
Works for me.
Exfloofvert
Exfloofvert (floofinition) – 1. A person who is outgoing or overtly expressive when they encounter an animal. 2. An outgoing or overly expressive animal.
In use: “Little Bit was waiting for him when he opened the door and entered. The two, who’d been reticent since he’d left that morning, became joyous exfloofverts as Bit purred and meowed, and he laughed, stroked her, and told her how pretty she was and how much he’d missed her.”
Floofledy-goofledy
Floofledy-goofledy (floofinition) – a confused, disordered, or random collection of animals or animal-related objects.
In use: “After eating and playing, puppies, ducks, dogs, cats, and kittens settled in a floofledy-goofledy rest on a large sunlit carpet in the living room where it was almost impossible to discern where one animal began and another ended.”
