One of the most distressing things in recent history was that a hummer brought the Clinton Presidency to it's knees, and consequently
sank the Democratic Party.

Well....... yes, Oso.
These things are confusing. I was referring to the office, after the fact, I think.

Amazing - what a comic over a hummer triggers in our brains. And amusing!!
Never expected that! For me it was a simple food and vehicle related curiosity.
Then I learned that there is another meaning beside it - certainly for American's. Bringing in the hoovering, and a parking lot.
Clinton and the Zipper Gate Scandal.
THAT is now bringing up (in my brain) a Havanna Cigar.
And reminds me on the cathouse thread a while ago.
Hoping to get more to hear what people associate with H.
DanO - to what size is the Pacific Spiny Lobster growing??
wan't to compare them to Atlantic and Red Sea species.
And if no one comes up with a Nickname - then lets create one.
I'm calling in for a BRAINSTORMING!!
BTW: Why you look for it? Is it for your Restaurant's Menue?

No, for idle fun actually! Much cheaper and you don't have to cook em till their red!
I'd call it "BONERSTORMIN"" like in: "he pulled a boner by calling the eel a hummer!"
end of pooooost.......

When Lorena Bobbit took the scissors to her poor (but deserving) husband, he had to get a loaner.
I doubt that, when he got his first look at those snippers, Mr. Boner was even present.

How's this? "Rubber lobster: Also called 'Jello-lobster' or 'rags'. These are lobster that have just shed their shells and the new shell has not yet
hardened at all. They feel like soft rubber (hence the name) and are quite fragile."

Hey Larry
JUST DID LOOK IT UP (- THANKS FOR THE LINK), and beside the obvious meaning in context of the above post, it also defines it as
" an embarassing MISTAKE "   , yeah sometimes it IS exactly that - -
VERRY FUNNY ha a good laugh after all Corky!
DanO - I like the Rubber and Jello - let's see if somebody else comes up with some Nicknames too.
I read the Link you provided earlier, and the quite clear description of their mating ritual was somewhat amazing - very interesting!! And clever on
the femal side, but quite risky too.
YEAH - I also have this weirdness of collecting useless information - because you never know when you can either use it ( for cryptic talk) or at
least to understand when others use it ( in cryptic talk).
Beside that I love languages and the diversity of meanings of words, and the play with it.
It amazes me again and again - how often I stumble over the very same word with absolute differing meanings. Like now on this thread.
Sounds maybe silly to some - but every language has a SUB-culture within the language, that gives an good insight into the society!!
AND - another association came up - the BOBBIT Case- OUCH, hell that was a story going around the world !!
Can understand HER action VERY well - and somehow admired her that she not only performed the little surgery - also that she threw, what was left,
into a cornfield !!

I know all about the word "hummer" from 1 of my many husbands....but really makes me mad is all those "Lobster" dinners I should have had
instead.....the dirty rat.... and if he was still my husband I would want the
one on wheels along with the lobster dinner. It pays to grow older and figure these things out....I am going to email him today and tell him he owes
me big time....the vulger american.......Kelly

They are red cannibals
While living on Catalina Is. I was constantly amazed by the graduate studies at the science center. One study prompted my daily attention.
Lobsters will, when starving , resort to cannabalism. I found this very painful to watch. I was thrilled when the researcher disclosed his project to
me and allowed me to monitor his big fat juicy study specimens while he was away.
Those suckers just disappeared I would tell him.
I would not let them starve to death nor would I let them resort to cannabalism. Against my religion. We never ate so well.

Welcome Kelly, at least, another female joining this thread!
Are you a born american?
Seems you had a rather bad association, regarding Hummer.
In your case I would also prefer the wheeldriven version along with some delicious Lobster dinner. Tell HIM after the dinner I've got a headache, and
then drive home with MY Hummer.
And leave him alone to please himself.
Don't bother to write him - toooo much of attention.
ANY Nicknames for Lobster, or other names to throw in?
Might be of interest to hear if female language differs from males.  Lotte

SO - Corky - YOU are telling me you would NOT prefer the wheel one, along with a lobster dinner - ???? NAhhh - Why else did the poor
doomed researcher loose all his critters.
Lobster is indeed one of my favorit to have, lunch, dinner whenver.
Hummer - I wish I could afford to buy one ( the wheel version!!!!) some idiots on the street are tempting me to just DRIVE over them with a TANK, as
well as some idiots I have met in the past, and cheated/lied/ let me down. 
L
And as long as you behave, your wife won't hurt you, simple, isn't it??
And if you BEHAVE good enough, you might get even HUMMER for late night dinner. Ask her

Oh, come on-n-n-n-n! Everybody knows that a hummer is a happy person who puts their lips together and makes music. What ever were you all
