Her-B has been a tremendous addition to my life (like I really HAD to tell you that) but I've noticed that I've come up with some words using Herb's name, I do it so much that my nephews do the same. The words have speical meanings that are a little different than you might think. This is something that I've wanted to do for a while but never took the time. So in the tradition of Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary here goes; I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to come up with your own and add to the list.
Her-bi-tis - 1 (n) an ailment usually rendered benign when exposed to lovebirds 2 (v) the state of being owned by 60 grams of feathers, conjugated thusly: I am herbed, you are herbed, we are all herbed. It is considered a psychological disorder liked closly to OCD: obsessive compulsive disorder. The sufferer experiences and ususally will act upon the need to join the Dark Side and then denies its existence.
Epa-her-ba-dit-o-mus - (n) exposure to lovebirds in epic proportions.
Her-ba-side - (v) to have physical possession of a lovebird, usually on one's shoulder, or in one's shirt.
Her-ba-tude - (n) 1 usually applied to the lovebird "owner" meaning one who has great understanding and compassion for lovebirds, 2 usually applied to the lovebird itself meaning a bird (or living entity) having a hen like disposition vis-a-vis: biting is usually not far away.
Her-b-derby - (n) dropping from a lovebird usually throughly inspected by the lovebird "owner" for consistency, color and count, otherwise known as the three c's of bird "ownership". It is a tail-tell sign that one is the "owner" of a bird when seen in public wearning herbderbies.
