I've been advised the I've been misrepresenting the Scottish Parliament and should have been referring to it as The Numptorium. This is not only a recognised term by the Oxford English Dictionary but also by the Post Office. I shall in future be using the term to describe that place where the numpties gather.

The Numptorium
I've been advised the I've been misrepresenting the Scottish Parliament and should have been referring to it as The Numptorium. This is not only a recognised term by the Oxford English Dictionary but also by the Post Office. I shall in future be using the term to describe that place where the numpties gather.
Brilliant - language used at its best!!
ReplyDeleteThe photograph looks like a picture of a footballers Spanish villa !!
ReplyDeleteAnon, that's so true. Maybe we should include their palatial residences in the definition
ReplyDeleteDoes there have to be only one Numptorium? Morley Town Hall also qualifies...
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should make this a generic term for wherever numpties gather, whatever their nationality?
ReplyDeletewhat does numptorian mean? i didn't see it in my dictionary.

ReplyDeleteScots numpty ‘a stupid person’ + Latin -orium ‘a building or place where an activity occurs or a (type of) thing is located.’
