Ladies and gentlemen, a new word:

hidy
v.tr.
[-dies, -dying, -died]
to create order by putting anything messy out of sight somewhere else

Crap, my parents are coming! Hidy the front room!
I've cleared the floor by hidying everything under the bed.

I'm not, no.

That's odd... I've never heard anyone use it. As far as I'm aware, I spontaneously made it up this morning while sitting on the freezer talking to my housemate.

OK, having now read back over Dave Gorman's twitter feed a bit, that is very odd. I'm not aware of having heard anyone say it. it's almost enough to make you think Rupert Sheldrake isn't a barking loon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphic_resonance).

Evidently, it's a word whose time has come. I wonder how many people spontaneously started using it in the last few weeks?

Maybe we've had an inspiron storm?
