Fictionary (by Namwan)

Write a dictionary-style definition for the word EC·DYS·I·AST (pronounced eckDIZeeAST)


Use ECDYSIAST with your fictitious definition in a story. Start with: It all started when...

Ecdysiast: Someone who tends to be in the middle of being drunk and not drunk at the same time. A complicated term for "tispy".

It all started when my big brother invited me to go to a gay strip bar. It was my first time, and I was excited. It seemed like everyone knew him...all the captains and even some of the dancers on stage.

Everyone was treating my big bro like a king....why not? He provides 100 baht tips for the waiters.

Gays are friendly, and that is why I like gay pubs (not necesarrily gar bars featuring strippers). At normal gay pubs where people just sit and drink and listen to the singer on stage, everyone gives me a smile and we talk to people even though we don't know them. It's the best atmosphere ever.

When we stepped in, there were already a handful of guys wearing only their undies on the stage, with numbers attached to them. I asked my big bro why they had to have numbers. I've never been to a place like this before.

I also see two ladies who are very beautiful, but big bro says they are actually guys. I'm amazed.

Then the guys on stage got naked and had sex. Surprisingly, I was not surprised at all. I was very quiet about it, appeared very still and had no comments when my big bro asked how I felt. I thought it was something quite normal.

All the time we were drinking his Johnnie Walker black label whisky, and it usually takes a LOT of glasses to make me even a bit tipsy.

The captains were talking to me, and even told me which guys were gay and which weren't, probably to ask if I was interested in any of them. Now that was embarassing, but I continued to watch.

Then I saw this guy, number 41, on the stage. He was the best looking of them all. I asked big bro whether or not he was gay. He said no. But a waiter confirmed that he was gay.

"Nooooooo I like him!!!" I told big bro.

He smiled. "Namwan, I believe you have a high percentage of alcohol in your body right now."

"I might be an ecdysiast, but I'm not drunk," I said, smiling back at him. With that I went outside to smoke.

NOTE: This is fiction. Please remember.

Write a definition of the word writer so that when someone picks up the dictionary, your name comes to mind immediately.

Hmm...I still don't quite get the idea of this one. Will return to it later.
