Word meaning...

[pdxsenior]

Would someone mind telling me what "farkle" means... or is it a word like "hashtag" that we all have known as a "pound sign" for 50 years +/-.

The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle.

A farkle: any accessory put on the :spyder2:

To farkleize: when you are in the act of installing the farkle.

Farkleitis: the malady that strikes you when you just have to keep installing more farkles. :yes:

It took me a while to work out what "Farkle" was when I initially joined upto SL. I have not heard/seen this word before in the UK. I guess its an American word :dontknow:

MOST hated word used on this and every other forum. Don't know why but I hate that word. Wonder if it is a phobia??
