It's slow on Skins's island today.
Anyway, there arose an issue here yesterday, about the term "bouncy."
The origins of "bouncy" are obscure, but it's obvious that our esteemed member Mr. Wiggum, if he didn't in fact invent the term, Mr. Wiggum greatly popularized it.
In its original meaning, a "bouncy" was a "conversion story" told by a primitive, generally about how the primitive convinced someone decent and civilized to become a primitive.....and if the story happened to have a cop jumping out of the bushes, damn, that was one Hell of a great bouncy.
And then franksolich showed up at our old home, and in his sloppiness and arrogance, used "bouncy" to describe any lie told by a primitive. This definition included, of course, all the "conversion stories," but as the primitives tell a lot of whoppers, the "conversion stories" were but a small part.
Alas, other members who erroneously assumed franksolich knew what he was talking about, started using the word "bouncy" in the same general overall sense he was.
I dunno about anybody else, and certainly wouldn't dream of dictating language, but from now on, franksolich himself is going to use "bouncy" in its original sense, "conversion stories" told by primitives.
And as for lies of the primitives NOT involving conversion, generally being exaggerations or distortions of the personal predicaments of the primitives, well, there's that fine word "stretchy."
Try to imagine the BicentennialBoobsBaby primitive, for example, trying to stretch a pair of 40" waistline panties so as to accommodate her girth, and there you have it; that's quite a stretch, or stretchy.
And by the way, does anybody have any pictures of bouncing balls, balloons, whatnot, that they can post? There's been some great bouncy pictures posted, both at our old home and here, but I never saved any.
However, I have no idea how one might illustrate a "stretchy."

Bouncy:
Yesterday in the grocery line, some guy was grousing about the cost of gas. I reminded him it was because of *'s illegal war. The guy immediately ran away while everyone in the store smiled and applauded.
Stretchy:
This morning when I got up my Obama sign was defaced with "McCain Uber Alles" spray paint all over it. And my dog was suddenly pregnant.

Those are great examples of what I mean, freedumb2003.

And you do so well, and franksolich for one is very appreciative of it.

I would say that stretchy is a very good description of their make believe stories.

I'm partial to just calling it Bullshit. After all it's worked for years. :-)

The term bouncy actually came from the poster known as "Bouncy Ball". A nutjob teacher in Texas who posted constantly about everything in her life. Her stories weren't necessarily all conversion stories. Someone just started calling all the conversion stories "bouncies".
There's a thread with Bouncy Ball's "greatest hits" in the Dumping Ground.
