Dear Kath,
Check the archives for the October period, under the thread of Our Significant Others - Lump is mentioned in for the first time in my post of 11/2. The genesis is that concerning the first major depressive episode I experienced, my wonderful husband( WH) refers to my "Lump person days." His phrase struck a resonant chord and Lumptonia was born.
As Constable of Lumptonia (also CPE - Couch Person Extraordinaire), there are very strict rules and regs for Lumptonia that everyone routinely ignores. I have no idea how I got to be Constable, other than I merely mentioned that I have a whip.
Your phrase "Puzzled. What fun; would like to understand" is pure Lumptonian, and on behalf of the Ambassador (although he goes by a variety of titles and I'm sure he must be in his cable-wired doghouse at the moment or he'd be greeting you himself), I would like to welcome you as a card-carrying member of Lumptonia.
You'll also find mentions of Lumptonia in other threads, such as the "Brick walls" thread, and it seems that Lumptonia is now part of the nomenclature.
As with the birth of any nation, we've experienced our birthing pains, and have had lively discussions on such crucial topics as our National Animal, National Anthem, proper intake of Nestle's Quik, dealing with Irritating Relative Syndrome (IRS), Sigh Co., which is all rather amazing since Lumptonians reside on the couch (commonly referred to as lumping) with our bankies and sacred pillows, and ignoring the world at-large.
Welcome!
Constable Sterling CPE
