More on why I love my girlfriend. (An occasional series.)

We have our own language, our own weird words and phrases that become part of our shared lexicon. I mean, I think all couples have this, but we're always inventing new ones. Partly because she often doesn't hear what I say and so she repeats something nonsensical and it becomes part of our language.

Just these last few days, we had the time when I wrapped myself around her while we were lying in bed, and I said "I've got you". She looked at me quizzically and said "Five goat me?" So now I tell her I'm going to five goat her just before I climb on top of her and wrap myself all around her.

Then just tonight, she asked me what I'd done during the day while she was working, and I said I spent the morning doing some computing, then did some writing in the afternoon. She looked at me puzzled and asked me what "gib-jibbing" was. I said "What?" and she said "Gib-jibbing. You said you spent the morning gib-jibbing."

And of course, it all makes perfect sense to the both of us once we realise what we're talking about.

So now am I sitting here gib-jibbing at Suicide Girls.

By the way, this is not to do with any hearing problem. She doesn't hear badly. Maybe I talk incoherently.

Five goating and gib-jibbing. That's what life is made of. (The next instalment will be about the 6 month maggot project.)
