surgleyfonk
history
Ms Boot, just about to send an email came to the realisation there was just far too much white space in the email and that something needed to be added to fill the space. Thus the term surgleyfonk was born.

- This /is/ actually a word.
Its meaning, while obscure, still has relevance to today's world.
Many decades ago, travellers to the Indies were confronted by a wide assortment of smells, peoples, and new experieces. Mostly the smells though.
During their time of exploration and discovery, the peoples of Spain and Brittania found that they had a large range of peoples arrayed against them, who were getting more and more peevish at their horrible exploitation. Many a skirmish and bloody argument were had.
Into this area steps a man, the man for the hour. He's a modest man, of skills and abilities competent, but not superb. His range of abiity, however, is quite unsurpassed. He was the exception to the theory that a Jack of All Trades is Master of none - he was quite good at pretty much everything he turned his capable hand to. Captain Johnny McStabb was a man who feared little. So when he was asked to step in on behalf of Her Majesty to quell the rebellious natives, he readily agreed - for a hefty sum and a case of Scotch. So seeting off into the enw colonies, he waged a cunning war of strategy, cultural knowlegde, psychological warfare and Interpretive Dance, all designed to demoralise and traumatise the 'enemy' to the point of subserviance. This brutal combination blow of mime and guerilla warfare, needless to say, devastated the morale of the primitive locals, scattereing their will to resist to the four winds.
Unfortuantely, Captain Johnny McStabb was tragically lost to a horrific accident during a routine monkey knife fight, and his body was savaged beyond recognition by Surly George, the reigning Monkey Knife Fight champion of the time, who opted to use a sharpened form * during the incidence in question. (There was a shortage of knives, because of The War).
So the term 'Surgleyfonk' was created by the cowed locals, in their best imitation of the conqueror's dialect, to describe a lifetime of glorious accomplishments brought to a tragic end by seemingly pointless and rediculous circumstances. In Capatin McSatbb's case: it was achieved my a very angry monkey known as Surly George, forever after remembered as 'Furious George'. It was a sad day for Britain and Her Colonies.

Notes
* Captain Johnny McStabb was killed with a sharpened /fork/, not a 'form', as previously stated. This gives the word 'fonk' more relevance to the situation. Although, killing someone with a sharpened form would be kind of impressive...
There are a number of other fantastic definitions but I do not have explicit permission to include them on this site, however, you will find some of them in the Urban Dictionary. (see resources).
