Prodantic is the art of spotting ships as proven in this pic:

I am presuming that for aircraft, especially civilian aircraft, it is proavionatic and the hatred of the two, antidantic and antiavionatic.

Thanks gordie for your valuable contribution to the English and Scottish languages.

Thank you DTC - I have a new hobby, LOL!

[DTCwordfan]

I thought that you may enjoy that, boxie......

[DTCwordfan]

Trainspotting - well that, we shall ignore.

[Butterbun]

I blame the heat.

[boxtops]

Noooo.... :-)

Can i nominate "sweetical" by ferlew please?

[wolf63]

Which withdrawn thread? I seem to have missed much over the last couple of days.

I like de-balled instead of castrated

[boxtops]

.... so by the DTC rule, PEdantic is ship-spotting whilst exercising....

[Peter Pedant]

golly gosh prodantic wasnt a word in English
I am surprised

Prodo means to give before in Latin
present participle ( DTC now knows the difference between that and a lurking gerund ), prodans, prodantis

hence English prodantic

piddy

Oh God wolf, the silver stilletto strikes silently and often without reason.

Imagine Desktop with a BUK 50 and a pile of CDs she doesnt like.....

[boxtops]

Please don't google prodantic, it comes up with some undesirable videos in line with PP's definition....

[tonyav]

I find there is nothing to beat a good prod.

[boxtops]

a Prod-Antic - that sounds like fun!

[Peter Pedant]

O God I will have to regoogle it....

I thought it would score a google-whack
but it didnt quite

[boxtops]

I might be over-egging the cake, PP :-)

[DTCwordfan]

oh my god, does it!

You certainly can, pixie......any other beauts, to turn this thread into a question?

Thanks, Peter, for your illumination. I'll nominate you for Ed of the Glasgow Scottish Dictionary, if wharton gets his way in September.

'sweeticle,' I could reason, am icicle that has been impregnated with maple syrup - and probably served as a yummy dessert by René Redzepi in Noma, Copenhagen, a restaurant considered to be the finest in the world at the moment.

and I am forgetting the 'sticky' wine to go with it, a Tokaji 6 Puttenyos must be it.
