Euphemisms for "LOST"
E.S. (Scott) Marshall
Okay - a mini thread started after someone got lost on a netride. The
thread was about other terms for "lost".
At the time of this posting, the following submissions had been received.
"Geographically Challenged" Marty Wicks
"Location Disadvantaged" Damien O'Toole
"Occasionally Misplaced" Damien O'Toole
"Unexpectedly Relocated" Scott Marshall
"Positionally Challenged" Scott Marshall
"Situationally Naive" Scott Marshall
Any other suggestions?
Cheers,

Here's a couple for ya,
1.) Spatially Disorganized
2.) "On the x-y-z plane, you are asymptoting towards nowhere" (One for the
mathematically inclined.. and yes, I know x,y and z can't form a plane.. it
just sounded better than axes)
3.) Err.. I'll think of more later.. it's late

'Geographically embarrassed' or 'positionally differently abled'.
Anyway, I never get lost - sometimes, I just don't know where I am.....

I'm never "Lost" either.
I always know where I am - Right here.
I always know where I want to be.
Occasionally I have problems equating the two, but I'm never "Lost"

How can you be here?? I'm here and I can't see you - are you sure you are
here?
I think you're lost! - if you can just get here I'll show where you are -
but of course you'll know where you are by then - you'll be here!

Erm.. nope, it would appear (pardon) not.. it did happen to pop up tonite..
dunno why it took so long though!
Virtual displacement.. hmm.. I could've used that term to fudge my way
through a few classical physics exams.. oh well.. too late now

My father says being lost is a matter of scale - with the right scale
map, you can point and say "we're here!"

Classic film...but they shoulda got Adam Ant for the lead instead of Peter
Weller...Adam would've been perfect for the part.
