In my experience anything with fewer than 10,000 hits is not a word.
And by that I do not want to imply I know the ones that do hit 10,000+

But, mister Solo this certificate is under the name Han Dible...
It's an old certificate, and I changed my name a few years back. You would too if you had a name like Dible.
I'm sorry Sir i can't release the droids without a valid current ownership certificate.
Look, You know me, i'm the guy who did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
But Sir, I thought a parsec was a unit of distance, not time..
*ZAP* ... followed by a thud and the smell of burnt flesh.
Boring conversation anyway...

I would understand you! I would nod knowingly, as though deep in thought, and later in the conversation I would find a way to agree or disagree with you and reuse the word in a similar context. Later that night I would go to the online dictionary and find out that the word is not there, but I wouldn't care because we would both be "wrong" and that would make it alright! Pretzel logic in it's purest form, no? I think that I would have done a good job of making an awkward situation handible.

Merriam Webster sez no.
But let's ask Handible Lecter!
|
|
|
|

Yes, "handible" is a derivation spelling of "handleable"
Keep in mind that today's youth misspell tons of words, mostly via text-messaging to shorten the txt msg.
However, the significant side effect is that these misspellings are due mostly to the absence of knowing the correct spelling of a word, which in turn leads to the usage of the misspelled word from one youth to another, which eventually ends up across the internet.
This isn't something new, though.
Mayan hieroglyphics (also referred to as "logo-glyphics") some 2000+ years ago did the same thing; variations on a word. A 'word' (carved image of a word-saying) could be spelled in one of 7 different ways. This is what confused linguists for decades; they couldn't figure out what the variations where communicating.
Here's the killer funny part: a 12-year old (David Stuart) was able to figure it (the Mayan code / hieroglyphics) out!!! Yes, a 12 year-old presented a scholar paper to dozens of linguists on the interpretation of the Mayan language "word-carvings" / hieroglyphics.
Here's le proof: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mayacode/

This looks like a new word. I suggest somone invented it to suggest "can be held in the hand". A word in an honourable computing tradition - portable, luggable, handible!!?!! The original Compaqs were luggable, where the Iphone is handible.
If that was not the meaning of handible ... well, it is now!

I've read in several places that defrag, prefetch, superfetch and several other things that are supposed to be harmful to SSDs are meant to be disabled by default in Win 7. Mine appear to be enabled though

Sorry, for a moment I read that as SSDD...

Pirates 4: The Blatant Money Grab?
I thought Pirates was supposed to be a trilogy? Or is this a trilogy in the same way The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was a trilogy?

I thought it was just meant to be the one movie but then two more came, and now a fourth.

I wonder who'll they'll get to do the "real norks only" test? He'd have to be a real expert in the field, a chap of impeccable taste and discretion, someone who is really passionate about the job.
Where do I apply?

|

|

Sadly they'll probably just go by medical records or something lame like that

Why would you be checking to see if they had a real "knife and fork"? (Yes, I know that's a knork)

Knorkology and Norkology, two often confused fields of research, sometimes with cataclysmic results.

Often caused by malformed nawks.

Which is an interesting subject in and of itself, nawkology, of course, being a specifically British subset of the wider norkology field.
