Guest Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Disconfect - v. To sterilize the boiled sweet or lollipop you (or your children) dropped on the floor by blowing on it , somehow assuming this will "remove" all the germs. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'd prefer to be more selfless, risking my own life, and give the lolly pop a suck to "clean" it for the child instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Rosie also 'huffs' on stuff she has dropped I once caught her asking the dog to huff on her biscuit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfinches Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 My son came back from Scout camp a few years ago having learned the five second rule - if it touched the ground for less than five seconds it wouldn't have any germs Maybe you only need to disconfect after five seconds!
