Wit-Dictionary 1


In this section we will "suggest" definitions for different objects, situations, feelings...


The idea is that you contribute with your own definitions...


Mobile Phone:


A post-modern device for continual persecution and sonorous torture. Used for communication, sometimes serves the contrary purpose.


Etymology: rhythmic origin. The first part MOBILE rhymes with "I"; and the second PHONE rhymes with "lone" (alone).



  • try with: LOVE, ECOLOGY, TABLE, CHAIR, LAP TOP, WALL...

POP Surveys 1










The band "THE WHO" sings "My generation"...


Here the Punk concept of "old means trash, corruption" is clear when they sing "I hope I die before I get old".


The song represents the beliefs of some people from the punk generation who were sometimes put down by adults.


What song represents your generation?


What is THE song of song of all times?


Do you agree with this list by Rolling Stone magazine?

Let´s vote and share ideas!!!


I vote for "Imagine" by Lennon...we are still dreaming about such a peaceful world!

And my second vote goes to "One" by U2...

Anyway, maybe electronic music represents us better...mmmm

Boil noodles



Heat cream (if you have extra time chop some onions and sweat pepper)



Chop the Kani Kama and mix it with the cream and...



Ready! Enjoy your kani-noodles!
