Only for maybe half an hour.  And tied a little quapf.





It hasn't been a great week.  Monday was rough; Tuesday was rougher, particularly in the evening.  Today has been better, largely cuz I've felt a good bit better.

I'm up too late, though.  But I haven't been working all evening.  This is good.

It means messed up in an "off" kind of a-kilter way, literally and/or (moreso) figuratively. Taken from a friend one of whose previous social circles took it from someone's name.

They also called a penis that went sideways a "loomis", after some guy named loomis whose did. Perhaps they only had names for things that skewed, in some sense? I dunno. I just like the onomatopoeia of it. Quapf sounds like the quapf. And is fun to pronounce in one's head.

I like that there's a connection to igneous rocks, though. And sorry for confusing with the ultra-specialized vocab. Alternately: made ya look!

That makes sense, because the name Quapf did show up when I googled.

I'm remembering now that the Quapf in question was an artist whose name was on a painting that was deemed quapf.
