Creb. Noun.

Crebber. Adjective.

Yes, it's his user name, it's also a discription of someone. Find me at Champs and I'll tell you what it means.

Re: Words that aren't words that should be

I have one that will make you stand on your head

snodwod

I havent decided what it really means yet, but when I decided to name my Hobie Cat (catamaran) I was trying to think of a name that would be the same upside down, so when I capsize, the name would still be right.

Only one I came up with is : pompous snodwod (now you have to stand on you head to see for yourself

pompous snodwod does have a ring to it, but I made up a different name/word for my sailboat instead.

Its officially named

HydroManiac : adj. (hi-dro-main-ee-ack)

1. having an insane passion for large quantities of liquids, esp water, ie, lakes or oceans.

2. obsessed with being on or in the water.
