Dotard (as used by Wrong-Un to abuse the beloved President) apparently doesn't qualify----I had assumed it was a combo of dozy and @@@tard.

Carpetuation = carpet + perpetuation.  The act of repeatedly and unsuccessfully running over something on the carpet with the vacuum, picking it up, looking at it, and then putting it back down and giving the vacuum one more chance.

Is this a new word arising from EU banning hoovers above 900W?  Worth saving £4 per year with 900W hoover?

To see a dog being hoovered see  http://metro.co.uk/2017/09/01/this-is-how-the-new-eu-laws-on-vacuum-cleaners-will-affect-you-6896012/

Usually Audi drivers. :oops:

if they move their seat forward they could actually get closer to the car in front.
