Many years ago at a lunch to celebrate my group leaders invitation to join the Australian Royal Society at quite a young age a certain Peter Medowar remarked dryly to all at the lunch that this usually only happens when your prostate is bigger than your brain!

Surely you can fit him in with something suitable.

When the topic of discussion exceeds your capacity to reply with anything coherent, you've become medowared

Or,

When early on in a topic someone tells you that you've exceed your capacity for any rational thought, you've become medowared

It will get to the stage Carl where people whose names are not on this list will feel they are not important!

Again brilliant!

If it can only be seen dimly in the far distance with great magnification has it been Hubbled ?

I offer that a topic submitted by someone who has decided their qualifications in one field should make them an expert in a field they know feck-all about is Plimered.

[AstralTraveller (David)]

If a post is hopelessly lost but still somehow manages to find what it's looking for it has been dished

(OK I'm grasping).

Hi Carl,

So good you get a LOL from me (and they're not lightly given ... 2nd one this year I think).

... and if the debate here is carried along energetically, it has been Boson-ised.

Best,

If someone keeps asking why after you explain something, they're millering

If someone humbly acknowledges their seminal contribution to a topic, they're doing an oppenheimer

If someone's contribution to a topic becomes smaller and smaller till it ends up almost nonexistent, they're plancking, or have been plancked

If a topic sparks a lot of interest but starts to be come a little too esoteric, it's undergone teslarisation

If it's an extremely serious topic, it's been newtoned

If a topic or someone participating in a debate starts to stick in one's side, you've been thorned

If a debate pops up as a pair of topics out of the blue and then disappears just as quick, they have hawkinged

If a topic goes through a thousand different guises before the final, working version appears, it's been edisonised

If the title of a topic is very long, it's diraced

If a topic gets larger every time you go back and look at it, and at an ever increasing rate, it's been moored

If someone is holding onto an idea, no matter what anyone else says and no matter the evidence against them, they're arping

If a topic speeds along to a swift conclusion, it's been mached

[Nortilus (Josh)]

what if you get really excited about a topic and need to explain it so enthusiastically...would that be Tysonised

[renormalised (Carl)]

Good one, Josh
