Definition: Hootability

Definition:-

Index of the ability to give a damn, or in fact a "hoot".

This can range from zero (0) - where no hoots are given, to the maximum two (2) hoots. So depending where you are on this scale, is your current "Hootability".

General Usage: "He couldn't give two hoots, whether it works or not". (This is a "bad" thing)

Specific Usage: "She came in on a Sunday to get the project finished; she really gave two hoots" (This is a good thing, apart from the coming to work on a Sunday)

Emoji Usage: The "Owl" symbol is used to denote ones "Hootability".

Other Example Usage: "I am all out of hoots"; "I am in a hoot free zone right now".

Debate

How quickly can you regain your hootability once lost?

How long can you lose your hootability for? If lost, where did it go and what caused it to go? Was it having a holiday without you, and if so, where, and who did it invite?

Where does your hootability come from? Is it an innate characteristic? Can you learn it? (Yes, please contact me for the next, "Hootability - how to give a damn!", course. There is a special  30% increase in cost, if you mention this post and give me an example of how you give two hoots - training ed)

Is your hootability dependent on particular aspects of your life? For instance, can you give a hoot on one particular thing - but give no hoots on everything else? Compare and contrast the things you give two hoots about, to those you don't, discuss.

Is your hootability linked to your Biorhythms or perhaps the amount of alcohol you consume?

Can you recharge your hootability, perhaps with a holiday?

Can you get a prescription from your Doctor to help?

Will talking to the "Wise Old Owl", help you recover from a massive and sustained hootability failure?

Will just the passing of time, regenerate your hootability abilities?


Afterthought

Just what on Earth am I talking about?

Strangely, no alcohol was consumed in the construction of this inanity, it being a "School Night".

Post Afterthought

Did you spot the fact that I am prepared to charge you 30% more if you mention this blog post, when you ask about the next time I am running the course.
Naturally some of you will ask, "Is there a real course?", to which the answer is, "Yes, if enough of you want one, then I shall create one!"
