It was only ever at the contributors junior school in Kent, and was named after Karen Kakit. She was the school fleabag, who bizarrely had left several years before he started there! The idea was, that the strange squares you get set into the floor of corridors, with the metal grid around them, were the squares, and if you stood on one you had fleas, unless of course, you had feynites when you were safe! You still felt a bit dirty then though, so it was best to jump over them!

Keep lookout, guard dog. When a group realise an unforeseen opportunity of theft and it there is sufficient reason to believe the proprietor, teacher, dinner lady is nearby. The lesser-experienced member is nominated to keep dog. Unfortunately inexperience is highlighted in the breakdown of communication between keep dog and the perpetrators. Normally ending in a panicked getaway. Often dog is caught, being the last person leaving the scene. This is due to inexperience and holding the responsibility to inform every member as danger nears.

Contributor wrote the following (entered verbatim):

"While having intercourse my girlfriend stoppped and started doing kegels., does anyone out there know what kegels mean!!! alls i knwo is that it ahs to do with sexual stuff!! Please help figure out what this word means. I will die if i don't find out!!!!"

So if anyone can help, please send a definition in and also let us know where it was used and when.

(ed: this entry has produced dozens of responses telling us the what, when and how of kegels. The exercises themselves aren't a surprise, but what amazes me is the number of people who've looked it up!! But I promise I'll get round to adding the best soon.)
