Toby Or Not To Be.

Today's post is specially dedicated to that sweet rabbit, Toby.
Or maybe I'm just plugging a site that made me laugh something awful. A lot better than today's nominees for the Word of the Day.

- 'witbalansinstellingen' (white balance settings). Apparently something you can change on a digital camera.
- 'bosnegerdorpen' (forest negro village).
- 'exploronaut' -- what you're supposed to imagine you are when you get in the Space Mountain 2 ride at Disneyland Paris.
- 'reistijdenadviseur' (travel schedule advisor) - word used to describe a programme that picks the shortest route, wether by car or public transport, for you, in the Netherlands.
- 'effectenleasedrama' (stock lease drama).
- 'nascholingseisen' (requirements for a refresher course).
- 'apothekerskoepel': literally it means 'pharmaceutical dome' which would imply a building or something. But it's the coordinating authority that oversees the pharmacies.

The Word of the Day is 'exploronaut', and now go save that poor Toby damnit !
