Guess what the top Google search word is in the last 24 hours? The answer is the expressive, almost onomatopoeic word “blooter”. I believe this is because of a new music web site but blooter is a Scottish word with several meanings. It is usually but not always used in the past tense.
It can mean to hit with force ” The centre forward blootered the ball in to the net” or “The ned blootered the window with a rock” or “I am going to blooter you!.
It can also mean an advanced state of intoxication “did you see him in the pub last night? he was blootered!”
Many years ago when I played golf, a friend of mine had the curious habit of shouting “blooter!” whenever he hit a good drive. When I hear the word I automatically think of him.
Anyway, BLOOTER! is today’s word of the day
