After allowing students to answer in sms lingo for exams last year, British exam officials went one step further to make exams even more student-friendly by inventing the "Lentitude".
Now a student need not remember whether it was a latitude or a longitude they meant.. they are now allowed to replace both terms with the generic term "Lentitude"! or 'lent2d'!
(Not for sweet Dancerella's eyes or I might turn into her definition of a female crankle!)
You women out there who work or have worked at the Kentucky Ranch Turkey Meat Factory know what I'm talking about! It's a guy with no class or self-control who can't keep his eyes (len[s]) off of your (---[s]well, you know), staring in an inappropriate ([r]ude) fashion.

Lentitude, it sounds to me like a delicate person, who always treats things and people as if they were made of cotton, silk, satin..., as if they were extremely fragile and he/she doesn't want them to change or get damaged.
Lentitud...
Well I have a meaning that has nothing to do with the previous meanings.
Lentitude sounds like the word "lento" (slow) in spanish, so lentitude could be a "slow attitude" in every single way ;)
For example, this kind of attitude is common among the philosophers when they go deeper in their thoughts and the ouside world seems to move in slow motion.
I guess Plato or Heidegger used to live in constant lentitude.
By the way, this is an excellent blog :D
Hugs and kisses
Lentitude is a combination of length and attitude, and refers to the smug, superior attitude sometimes adopted by people driving cars with extremely long hoods. Lentitude is found less often today than in the past, and has been partially replaced with tankitude, the attitude of some people driving SUV's.

Lentitude is a methodology for UFO's to avoid detection. Space vessels are saucer shaped so they can more easily be disguised when they hover in lenticular cloud formations while observing the planet below. Please observe the photographs on the National Weather Service web site, http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/otx/photo_gallery/acsl.php, to see if you can find the flying saucers amidst the lenticular clouds.
Lentitude is a holy attitude you have during the lenten season.
It is also law aimed to protect people who don 't want to return things they have borrowed from others.
