A fork of Rural Dictionary
An epithet which, applied to a person, dehumanizes hir as an obstacle...something in the way...a hindrance (to one's progress). I made this word up circa 1978(it SOUNDS Yiddish but it's not!). It began as "putts", iow, people in traffic ahead of me who were just "puttin'" along in their slow-assed cars.
"Come on, ya putz! Move yer ass! I'm late for work here!"
one who scampers, usually while in possession of some trinket s/he has light-fingered from a store display, usually out of the store.
Store Detective: "Judging by your cheesy outfit, I had you pegged as a scamperer from the moment you walked in!" Scamperer (clutching a solid-sterling-silver letter trivet): "Are youse kiddin', Boss? I wuz gonna buy dis!"
"Effective treatment of such behavioral syndromes as alcoholism and domestic violence is best approached from a standpoint of sociatry as opposed to psychiatry or adjudication."
the treatment of social disease as psychiatry is healing of the mind (actually, 'psyche' means 'soul'), pediatrics is the branch of medical practice devoted to children, and geriatrics that devoted to the aged, so SOCIATRY is the healing of society
Man, that burka nonsense in Afghanistan is ripe! What those ragheads need is a solid dose of sociatry! or War is a disease, not a cure. We need to take this world to a sociatrist!
a non-nerd; someone who knows nothing, or nearly nothing, about computers or programming. Originally, an acronym for "dim-witted e-effete bumpkin".
Rex is such a dweeb! He thinks a "DO loop" is when your dog craps in the shape of an "O"!
anything that impedes positive social or organizational evolution; a hindrance to social progress
the constant infighting over America's alleged role as world policeman is a booger in the nose of progress getting bogged down in logistics and semantic quibbles instead of seeking true consensus is a booger in the nose of progress; can't we just lay our differences aside and find common ground in our shared interests? we all live on one fragile planet: this quibbling about economics while our world dies is a booger in the nose of progress!
