The Cule Dictionary

By: Isaiah | December 11th, 2008

Thanks to several brilliant contributions in comments, I’ve decided to start the official Cule Dictionary. Specific thanks to readers Jason and Hawk for their contributions to this most important of topics. I’ll keep this as a link on the side (Dictionary) and I’ll add to it any time anyone comes up with another good definition.

Two notes before we get started: 1, feel free to take the image above and make it better. My photoshop skills end before smudging. 2. Feel free to help me out by actually knowing how to write the pronunciation guides (but I would appreciate it if they’re done in Spanish if they’re Spanish words, or in Catalan if they’re Catalan words).

    Camp Nou as pronounced in Catalan is: [Cahm-no] (the NO sounds like it is in English). You can listen to it here: http://forvo.com/word/camp_nou/

    Merengue as pronounced in Spanish is: [Me-RENG-ge]

    I hope that helps.

    Víctor Valdés: is when (largely due to lack of activity) the following happens:
    1 – the mind is in a state very similar to coma.
    2 – the body is very relaxed.
    3 – an unbearable feeling of boredom.
    usually leads to unpredicted errors and random actions that are hard to understand.

    Previous poster (you know who you are cause your post is missing), I’ve deleted your post because of inappropriate content.

    Sexual orientation is not ever up for discussion on this board. Period. End of story. You’re more than welcome to continue posting here so long as you keep it clean. Making fun of Barça is not a big deal (and to some extent I think is very useful for defining ourselves), but please don’t take it over the top into personal insults.
