Barf bags and bicycles, interesting as they are, are not terribly challenging. Let the next challenge begin! Maybe some of the spectators on the sidelines will then be enticed to join the fun...

nettieThe nettie is a Northern (strictly speaking, north-eastern) English equivalent to the Londoner's Khazi, and the Ozzies Dunny. No doubt there is a both a "Cymric" and a Welsh term for it. The term is usually pronounced with a double glottal stop - "ne''ie"

Stranger that I am, I was rather hoping that an addict or old hand would present a challenge to the rest of us.

I was thinking "one off" but if anyone has a good idea, you are welcome.

how about a stinky-pinky challenge? this came up the other day, and it's a simple rhyming game -- think up a word-rhyme (two or more words which all rhyme) and give a clue, everyone else tries to guess the rhyme. anyone could clue (to verb a noun) and anyone could guess. all we'd need is a moderator -- and a new thread.
ron obvious' example clue: rotund feline = ?
or
very small urban cat = itty-bitty city kitty

Is thinking "one off" the same as thinking "one up"? If so, please do.

tsuwm,
If I recall from one of my daughter's books a few years ago,
another (preferable, IMHO) name for what you are talking
about is hinky-pinky. I think there were variations. If
they were single-syllable words they were hink-pinks;
two-syllable ones were hinky-pinkies. Three might have been hinkety-pinketies. Anybody know?
