Snarry = romantic relationship between Snape and Harry
Drarry = romantic relationship between Draco and Harry
Snupin = romantic relationship between Snape and Lupin

There are tons of other pairings, of course...all to be found in the rich and glorious world of fanfiction ;-)

And here i thought only in Japanese manga,fans are into pairings.I never even imagined the same applied to HP novels too.Weird pairings i must say,Snape and Harry eew

@Arc i would prefer someone more powerful than Draco maybe Snivellius Snape

Holy smokes that goes WAY back. :)

/At least/ as far back as the original Star Trek series and probably before that.

Famous then was the Kirk/Spock pairing stories which was abbreviated K/S and such fiction was then called "Slash" fiction because of the A<slash>B format of the naming convention. Nowdays I guess they just run the names together... :)

Yes, fanfiction goes a long way back ;-)) "Slash" fanfiction is now generally used to refer to male/male romance stories, and for female/female fanfics, the term "femslash" is used ;-)

Some time ago I had a friend who looked like a whippet (dog), but acted like a muppet (Spitting Images on TV) so to ensure I got him both ways he was henceforth known as a whuppet - he hasn't forgiven me to this day.

Whuppet?

i've got a cat called 'poppet', but she's a big fat whopper - so of course she's known as 'whoppet'.

i'll see if i can get a photo tomorrow. :) (which may be off-topic on a today thread...)

Jaidyn, a buzzword in the UK that I absolutely abhor is 'staycation'.

In these times of austerity people are being encouraged to holiday at home i.e. stay in the country for your vacation hence staycation.

English is a wonderful language and it makes me as mad as hell when words are butchered like this.

Talking of big fat whoppers Mickey, have you seen this?

Looks simply big, fat Andy.

Fat Andy? I suppose that'll be a Fandy then.
