English is a living language and it is changing and adapting all the time with new words being added to its lexicon every day. A year ago hardly anyone would have heard of Covid – it started as an abbreviation, but has very quickly become a word in its own right. Now most people, throughout the entire world, use this word on a daily basis. I don’t think it will be long until the word Covid morphs into many more derivatives. For example; as a noun we can have covidisation; as a verb we can have covidate, along with its various conjugations; as an adjective we might have something like coviddey and as an adverb we could have covidley. What would the dictionary definition be? I hear you ask. Well, it might be something like this: A circumstance or person that totally deprives any situation of fun, enjoyment or any kind of excitement. A few, hash centric, example sentences of the most recent addition to the English language are:
That coviddey guy is doing my head in.
The upcoming outstation has fallen victim to covidisation.
He has been covidating the circle for far too long.
The hares totally covidated the run today.
He covidley droned on about his shit run all night.
This is just a thought, but remember where you first came across this word.
Today’s run was the 13th annual Ball Breaker a co-production between the CH3 and the CSH3. I think the way it worked was if you did the Ball Breaker, the long run, it counted as CH3 run and if you did the short run it counted as a CSH3 run. The hares for today’s extravaganza were: Just Cumming, Captain Hook, Cool Balls and Ting Tong. These four stalwarts of the male hash are more colloquially referred to as The Thai Corruption. My apologies, I must make a correction; I meant Connection. The location was out in the Mai Wan area about an hour from the center of Chiangmai. The A bucket was on a dam with a somewhat depleted reservoir – to be expected at this time of year , I suppose. Having said that, the region was mountainous with a spectacular vista, or if you were attempting the Ball Breaker I would imagine it to be more of a foreboding sight. For one reason or another, I was unable to do the long run leaving me no option than other to do the short run. I’m sure you can imagine my disappointment.
Anyway, all I can really say about the actual Ball Breaker run was it started at 2:30 pm and about 12 hashers participated, so I will give you my account of the short run. In total about 30 of the regulars turned out and Just Cumming informed us that it would be a generally flat affair. Could he be believed with all these mountains in the vicinity?
We set off along the top of the dam and down to the edge of the reservoir with Snowballs taking the lead stopping periodically to take photographs. We were kind of following paper, but it was difficult differentiating it from all the litter that seemed to be strewn along the trail. As promised the trail was generally flat, so for once Just Cumming had told the truth. Another point of interest about the short rum was that Chuck Wao had opted for the less strenuous of the runs. This was due to having done something to his hamstring .
On the down side, this run had the potential to be very picturesque, but around every corner there seemed to be an illicit rubbish dump some of the dumps were even smoldering and giving off some pretty noxious gases. It was if Armageddon had come to paradise. As previously stated the run was pretty flat with no major ob – sta – cals to overcome and we soon found our way back to the A bucket. I clocked up about 5.5 km and it took me just over an hour.
As the OnOn had fallen victim to covidisation the Thai Conception – I apologies again, another correction – I meant connection had provided a very sumptuous buffet for 50 Baht. Well done guys, great run and great food.
