Today I discovered the word basorexia. It means to have an intense hunger or craving to kiss someone or be kissed by someone.
The other is not a word, but a new meaning to an existing word - Side - I'll leave you to search the interent(sic) for the sub culture meaning.

Re: A two new words
Language, including very new language used only by younger people than me, always interests me.
Basorexia: I guess not a new word, but it was certainly unknown to me. Perhaps it occurs about as often as omorashi or whatever the word is that means a craving for that.
Side: I can only think of ordering from a restaurant menu here. Probably influenced by the fact that I am currently away from home on holiday.
I guess there's another meaning though aside from the basic one.
A two: your construction in the topic title. Intriguing. Never heard that one before.

On the other hand I could claim it is my version of, 'all your bases are belong to us'!

That sounds pretty sinister, though I'm not sure I understand it.bodgyuk wrote: 20 Aug 2025, 06:15 On the other hand I could claim it is my version of, 'all your bases are belong to us'!
(Sorry about pulling your leg. I tease people sometimes, but I fully expect to get my come-uppance too.

Re: A two new words
'All your bases are belong to us', is famous in the world of gaming (though I'm not a gamer), it was a mistranslation from the Japanese video game, Zero Wing. It dates from the early 1990s.
