Chad

I heard about chad on the radio the other day. It's the stuff that lots of people, including myself, wrongly call "confetti". Chad is the real name for the stuff which is punched out of a hole punch! I hope I'm not the only one who didn't know that already. Thanks for your invented meanings. They were great. I've added up the votes cast on the blog and through the poll and am happy to announce that Phil was top of the pops today. Well done, Phil.

Chad ads are those advertisements which include some spurious wonderful scientific ingredient which is blatantly nothing of the sort. 'Boswellox' one recent example where obviously Mr Boswell was messing about in the lab one day and came up with something creamy and sticky which he named after himself.
Other examples - Age Re-plenitude, GL-70(who remembers Gleem Toothpaste?) and Daz with the blue whitener! There are many more I'm sure.

Thus, Chad would be advertiser's scientific codswallop.

The word Chad is used by those in the hairdressing profession to describe the collective build up of hair gel, wax, mouse and spray in overly tizzied hair-styles.

It usually befalls the person who's woken up with a very bad hair day and can't solve the problem with just one styling item but hastens to use them all.

(Americans learned more about chad than they ever wish to remember around the time of the 2000 presidential election. Especially hanging, pregnant, and dimpled. Those darn Florida ballots!)


Chad is an adjective describing people who have lost a great deal of weight and now have a lot of loose skin.

Chad is a new slang term for someone your annoyed with. Instead of calling them a jerk you call them a chad. "Ugh, that new girl Mary is trying way too hard to be cool. She is such a chad!

Chad:
Is the stuff that congeals at the top of the jar of jam.
What?
That’s not normal?
Maybe I should throw it out then…


Just want to say thanks for the votes!

Picture John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever doing a little dance!

(Only a little shorter and a tad more feminine)(and with less rhythm)

Chad (n) Composted tea leaves.

As recylcling becomes an increasingly large part of our daily routine, we are going to be encouraged to deposit our tea leaves in special "chad banks". The resulting mush is very useful for breeding silk worms, and is also going to be used for eco-friendly face packs.

Chad is a slang derivative of another modern slang word, chav. A chad is a young, dubiously fashionable and uneducated father. Chads are sometimes to be seen pushing unsuitably clad and mucousy toddlers through shopping precincts, and frequently heard to utter terse remarks such as 'Shut it Jordan! I give yer a doughnut dint I?'

Some people think it's funny but it's really green and runny...CHAD!

Some people think it's gross, but it's really good on toast...CHAD!

When you're sliding into first, and you feel something burst...CHAD!

Hot in the morning, cool at night...CHAD!
Here without warning, what a sight...CHAD!

And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again: WHO'S CHAD?

Chad: 1) any item normally associated as part of a pair, or larger grouping, but having gone missing. 2) The location in which all lost chad reside. Single socks, the remaining information of partial truths, dates who never arrived, french fries from incomplete fast food orders, the items which you walked to the next room to find but forgot what they were when you got there, screws and bolts not found in the original box of self-assembly furniture, the tools you desperately needed which were never found, lost names of important people you should have been able to introduce, and good sequels to decent movies all reside in a place called Chad.
