Is there an e-Cig Nomenclature Thread?
Is there a thread that lists all the terminology for the description, explanation and identification of all things pertaining to the electronic system for the inhalation of vapours, which may or may not include the addictive compound, nicotine, into the lungs for non-medicinal entertainment, for the assuagement of nicotine addiction, for the appeasement of curiosity or for the desire to irritate the most anally inclined anti-smokers?
I stand guilty of every hedonistic act mentioned in my question but if I have missed any other possible reason for why one would imbibe* this stuff, please feel free to amend the question.
I am serious. This may be such a new activity that a dictionary specific to its science possibly does not yet exist and who wants to look like a foolish newbie when confronted by someone of the anally inclined mentioned in the question.
For example, how many ways (correct ones) can we refer to the physical item we are using for this inhalating activity? Electronic cigarette, possibly (but it really is not a cigarette, or is it)? So which is the correct spellling: e-Ciggy or is it spelt e-ciggy, e-Cigi, e-cigi, (or is the hyphen left off)? See the confusion? Someone should set up some standards or we non-Yanks and non-Limeys will be left wondering which spelling is the right one and you know the conundrum such a situation will set up when spell checking in Word.
We are on the cusp of a new culture. Should we not be able to set the rules! How about "inhalating" |inhul'ating| (a combination of "inhalation" and "exhilarating" used when confronted by the anally inclined:
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm inhalating!"
Meaning:
"I'm inhaling on my e-Ciggy with complete joy, so bugger off."
Anyway,
Cheers,
mhikl
*imbibe really means to ingest spirits through the gut but, heck, this is ruleless English so we can mangle this sorry benighted language all we want and besides, I couldnt think of another vocable that didnt include an in to take its place.
There is usually more than one way to skin a cat so until I am allowed my personal Signature ......
