KOC: Word of the day
Releasethe Krakken
As king of the community day my word of the day works different. I randomly use a word and hope its meaning correlates to some sensible meaning.
For example the wigs warned me about bullying people in general. "It builds character"
So after digging though their book of standard responses
They responded to a part of my ticket upon which I wrote them:
But why did I receive it? Im flummoxed.
Ok so

Flummoxed is a good word
Buggered is another good word - depending on what is meant, how it tends to be used rather than its original meaning
for example someone says "well I'll be buggered" (because they have been flummoxed & they just realised it).
One would assume that they are not really expecting to be buggered - it would be a terrible shock to them if they actually were 🙁
yep buggered is a funny word we would use words like "in sy peetjie" voel 'n f* or "traak my nie"
