NUG. A word. The meaning.

Feek · 22-02-2008, 20:32

Recently it's been noticed that Dym and I have used the word 'nug' on the forums and questions have been asked what it means and where it came from.

The history of the word NUG in the context we use it derives from Eve-Online. WAIT! Don't click the back button, read on.

Eve is made up of a large number of solar systems which all have names. The Empire systems have proper names such as 'Isinokka', 'Jita', 'Amarr', 'Sobasecki' etc etc but once you move to the uncontrolled space then the system names are made up of seemingly random letters and numbers.

These systems are often given pet names because it's not exactly easy to speak a system name such as 68FT-6 so naturally the 0SHT-A system became known as "Oh sh1t!" and I-8D0G rolls off the tongue as "I ate dog". We'd often announce on teamspeak as we jumped into the HOHF-B system that "I'm entering The Hoff". Oh the hilarity!

Going back probably three years a group of us who lived in the AZN-D2 system in the Feythabolis region often used to travel to the 7/10 Angel complex in the system of NUG-OF, naturally referred to as Nug off. That sounds potentially a bit rude, so I took a well known piece of text and substituted the word nug into it thus.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word nug. Of all the English words beginning with n, nug is the single one referred to as the "n-word". It's the one magical word. Just by it's sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. Nug folds into many grammatical categories. As a transital verb for instance, "John nugged Shirley". As an intransitive verb; "Shirley nugs". It's meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as an adjective such as; John's doing all the nugging work. As part of an adverb; "Shirley talks too nugging much", as an adverb enhancing an adjective; Shirley is nugging beautiful. As a noun; "I don't give a nug". As part of a word: "abso-nugging-lutely" or "in-nugging-credible". Or as almost every word in a sentence: "nug the nugging nuggers!". As you must realize, there aren't many words with the versatility such as the word nug, as in these examples used as the following words:

- fraud: "I got nugged"
- trouble: "I guess I'm really nugged now"
- dismay: "Oh, nug it!"
- aggression: "don't nug with me, buddy!"
- difficulty: "I don't understand this nugging question"
- inquiry: "who the nug was that?"
- dissatisfaction: "I don't like what the nug is going on here"
- incompetence: "he's a nug-off!"
- dismissal: "why don't you go outside and nug yourself?"

I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word nug?
Use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly:

Nug YOU!

I don't think Dym's ever been anywhere nugging near the non named systems I mentioned and he's certainly never entered The Hoff...
