| The
Spunk Preservation Society |
|
The Society
meets weekly on sunday evenings at various secret locations in Bristol
with the intention of redeeming and preserving lost gems of english
diction with the prime aim of bringing spunk back to everyones lips.
We want
to be real men proud of their 1940s heritage, we want to be full of
spunk and pluck and plum tuckered at the end of the day.
If you
wish to contribute to the work of the society you can do so by trying
to use these words in their proper context as you go about your daily
duties with vim and vigour or gay abandon.
If
a word is underlined in the list illustrative material will appear to
the left on mouse over -if nothing appears click to reveal more extensive
illustrative material on new page.
In time
these words will once again grace our mother tongue and be released
from the cloud of smut and innuendo that has engulfed them
Further
details and a very queer spunk badge can be obtained from the lusty
club secretary.Please feel free to submit other abused words for inclusion
in the societies manifesto.

Having
just found your web site I would like to add the following word: lusty. The
kind of description that words like vigourous, hearty and bouncing, nearly match,
but don't quite get at the root of the meaning? Lusty Lionel
