Carolyn CordonInventing new words for new things
February 9th 2009 06:10
I was reading this website and saw a call from Mr Nice Guy to "come up with a few new speak terms".
I've enjoyed inventing new words, with little luck at getting others to take them up, but it got me thinking...
I reckon, as good Australians, we owe something to the man who would be king, Mark Latham.
He had an urge, saw a need and had a red hot go at giving us a no bullship, speak the honest bloody truth Prime Minister. He lost, of course, a little too much front bar and too little social niceties, but still.
You've got to have some respect for a bloke so comfortable with himself he's able to talk about his "man boobs" in front of, not just other people, but in front of the cameras. Onya Latham you're are, or should be, bloody hero for all Aussie blokes with their own boobs.
I say from now, until enternity, we should, when referring to a blokes with some extra flesh in the chest area to talk about his "Lathams". As in, "old Bazza he loved a beer, you should see his beer gut and his lathams."
So what do ya think? Do you have lathams, or have you finally got rid of them? And for the hetero partnered ladies, does your man have lathams, or a sixpack?
Discussion needed for this subject, it would be unAustralian to let this gem of that lovable Latham lapse.

I wish now, I'd yelled out 'Show us your Lathams!', but I never thought about it. I was too busy laughing. Some of the ladies from the bowling club were not so amused. Such language!
