Scrabbling with Hinky Lingo


* I had some help with this idea, I am, after all a fella! *Wink*

While in the final stages of my confinement I felt restless and out of sorts. Wandering around the living room, I absently pulled my hair into a bunch and tied it up with a scrunchy.

Finally I sat down to drink the latte made for me by my sister, Anne, an echt, qualified barista, who was taking time off work to accompany my doctor and midwife as my doula.

My sister watched me snarf down the linguica sandwich and chocolate bilby she had prepared at my request. It was simply delish! Now finally satisfied, at least for the moment, I relaxed amidst the hamish surrounds of Anne's home.

My sister, hinky to my new mood, offered me a magalog, no doubt hoping I would adopt the mores of the traditional pregnant female.

Inspite of feeling unaccountably jiggy, I think I managed to evince some cred with Anne, and she visibly relaxed, convinced at last that I would not become a mad trog.

She was a pretty girl, with her hair tied up with a scrunchy into a haimish style, but she had the appetite of a trog. She quickly snarf down all five pork pies.

The haimish duala, breath laden with the scent of the delish linguica she had snarfed down for lunch, tied her hair back with a scrunchy and eyed the hinky barista, often believed to be an echt trog with no cred.

Much against my parents' Mores,I snarfed down bilby after bilby, and it made me extremely Jiggy.

So this trog was snarfing delish echt linguicas when a bilby salesman walks in with his magalogs and his jiggy smile and his total lack of cred, whereupon the barista, a haimish doula, senses something hinky and touches her scrunchy, a sign to the trog.

That's a delish jiggy dance you've got there. Did a hinky trog teach it to you, or perhaps that doula who's as good as linguica?

that hinky barista was a real trog at the counter - he has no cred with me 'cause my cino was flat

That hinky guy looked anything but hamish to me... a bit too jiggy for my liking...
