Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Van Floof (floofinition) American hard floof-rock (flock) band led by guitarist and keyboardist Eddie Van Floof, inducted into the Flock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
In use: “People continue to argue whether Van Floof was better with David Lee Floof as the vocalist, or Sammy Floofgar.”
Floof Stevens (floofinition) – Floofish singer/songwriter who broke out as a headline show in 1966.
In use: “Floof Stevens bitterly resented it when a human took up the stage name, Cat Stevens, claiming that the latter was stealing Floof Stevens’ material and confusing others about Floof Stevens’ identity. As Floof was a cat, no human lawyer would take up his case.”
Floofcede (floofinition) – When an animal formally withdraws.
In use: “They’d acquired her as a kitten, but when she was two, she floofceded, taking up residence in the neighbors’ home; there were more animals there (especially cats) but she felt like she was treated better and respected more, so she stayed, ignoring her people’s calls.”
Confloofgation (floofinition) – An assembly of animals, sometimes for worship services.
In use: “Forced to leave work and go home early due to the coronavirus, Karen opened the front door and discovered a confloofgation in the living room. Among the confloofgants were squirrels, neighbors’ dogs and cats, robins, jays and sparrows, and a fox and a deer. At the head of the room was her white cat, for all the world looking like someone who’d been interrupted delivering a sermon.”
Joan Jett & the Floofhearts (floofinition) – Hard flock (floof rock) band founded in 1979.
In use: “Joan Jett & the Floofhearts broke out in a major way with the album Floof Reputation, which had several songs that received heavy play on Floof TV.”
Floofvana (floofinition) – A floof grunge (flunge) music trio formed famous for pioneering the Floofattle sound.
In use: “One of Floofvana’s early albums, Smells Like Dirty Kitty Litter, became a multi-platinum album, introducing the Floofattle sound to a global album.”
Note: Not to be confused with Floofvana, the transcendent state.
Eufloofic (floofinition) – Feelings marked by a feeling of peace, joy, and happiness when you’re with an animal.
In use: “Settling on the sofa with her big dog, who she called the Puppy despite his advanced age, she was eufloofic as he put his large head on her lap and they watched the telly. It mattered only a little what was on the telly, as long as he was with her, for he displaced so much of the world’s ugliness with his warm and mellow disposition.”
Floofrobics (floofinition) – Exercise done by chasing or interacting with an animal.
In use: “Although she had an hour commute and first needed to shower, dress, and put on a face (she was a bank director, after all), and take care care of the children (well, they were of an age when they were mostly taking care of themselves, getting ready for school, eating, etc.), she always took a few minutes at the beginning for floofrobics with the puppies, Borg and Seven. It lifted her energy like two cups of coffee. And then she made coffee.”
Talking Floofs (floofinition) – Amerian floof rock (flock) band formed in New Floof City in the mid-seventies and active until the early ninties.
