    So here we are Christmas Morning. My Ladies are at church, The children( Dogs) are fed and watered and I am on the loose with the keyboard. I am not a clever one for crosswords so I was looking up an answer and came across this Word. Now some years ago I had a friend in Spain that used it frequently and although I always laughed, I never really knew what it meant. has anyone else come across it or maybe used it in a conversation, I have never seen it used here.

    It's one of those words you use when you are drunk and can't think of a better way to describe what you are feeling. Get drunk and say it, it's a fun word to try to say.
