Someone who offers to help someone else, only after the work has been completed.
For example, One individual sees another carrying something heavy, but waits to offer help only when the heavy object has been moved completely and then says “hey, do you need any help?” knowing that none will be required.
Feel free to make your suggestions in the comment box below. The winner will receive a Michael Andrew DVD of their choice.
A big thanks to Scott Roeben who won the last slang contest and the official definition is listed below. Scott wins a free Photoshop DVD Crash Course Set. It will be interesting to see how fast Google and other search engines pick up this new slang word, and be sure to use it when you can! 😉
Thanks for playing!
Felp / Felper / Felping = Fake/faux help. This would also include someone who removes cushions and pillows from a sofa that is being moved. I’ve said these sarcastic words many times: "Thanks for getting the cushions, Hercules."
When is the photoshop dvd coming out? 🙁
How about Procrastassistant. A combination of procrastinator and assistant. Kinda like a late helper.
Hey Heather- Ive been sending updates out regularly are you not getting them? they will be shipped on the 15th of Jan 2009. Let me know if you arent getting the newsletters!
Ross- That is hilarious! Ive seen this a zillion times. 🙂
I’ll have to think about this but I HATE when this happens. Another thing is when you pay for say lunch and then the person you are with says, "Oh I was gonna pay for your lunch." YEAH RIGHT!
I haven’t commented in a while but I just wanted to say I hope you had a fabulous Christmas. If you have a chance please post some pictures soon. I don’t care what they are of I just REALLY miss seeing pictures on your blog! Happy New Year!
PS-Love stort! That is awesome!
Ohhh!!! I love these new word ideas… ok lets see..lets put the words Meh and say together..and call the person a Meh (pronounced May) -Sayer… Meh-Sayer
Come to think of it May-Sayer works too…it leaves you asking yourself…would this person have actually have helped me?..or paid the bill?…hmm they "may" have…May-Sayer
No Help, Not Helping
=A NOLP or NOLPER
Whoo-hoo! I’ve been dying to get my hands on that Photoshop Crash Course DVD! Procrastination finally pays off! Now we need a word for someone who procrastinates and ends up being positively reinforced for the bad behavior. (Like people at work who don’t return phone calls immediately…and the problem gets resolved in another way.) Thanks, Michael, you’re the man!
I got one …I got one … no thanks to Joe’s "lakifert" we unpacked the groceries. Lakifert = Lack of Effort
(lakifertly, lakifertous)
Tootelate…It is a concoction of "too little too late"
My contribution to this one’s going to be "Taffler." (A person who participates in the age-old art of "taffling.") Inspired by the original acronym TAFL (or "Thanks A F-ing Lot!"). Hey, Taffler is two steps removed from the bad word, so I think it should qualify as an entry. Love the other ideas, too!
Hey Michael, a great term for someone who shows up after the work is done, offering to help? how about "the blister"
Probably a bit late for the prize (however I wont refuse if offered!)
You call them "Blister" – They only turn up AFTER the work has been done.
