It was reinforced to me just now that men and women are different. As Timmi browsed upcoming boxing day deals, I suddenly heard her exclaim with delight — "Oooh! Nice buffet!"

I got very excited, only to sadly discover that she meant the furniture pictured at right.

To me, and I suspect to most guys, "Oooh nice buffet!" only passes the lips upon observing something long, covered with food, and besneezeguarded.

And yes, this entire post was just a cheap excuse to invent a new word. When the Oxford English Dictionary cites first use of the word, we'll all see a little something like this:

Besneezeguard

- verb (used with object), -ed, -ing
- to adorn with a sneeze guard
- Origin: 2008, johnrobe.com
