First, a joke:

Corgi walks into a bar and asks for a drink.
Bartender tells the corgi, “Sure, it’ll be $2.”
Corgi says “I’m sorry, I can’t pay that.”
Bartender asks “What kind of corgi can’t even pay for his own drink?”
Corgi replies “PemBROKE”

Corgum - (noun)

Corgum is the plural of corgi.  It can be a group or pack of corgis, generally being ridiculous.  You can sometimes use it when a single corgi is being silly or weird, such as “Why are you riding that skateboard, silly corgum?”

Beware of large packs of corgum.  They can suffocate you in derp or wipe out your supply of peanutbutter.

Cornchip Feets - (noun)

Corgi feet smell like corn chips.  Go ahead, take a moment and go huff some corgi paw.  Mmmm, thats the stuff.  Most say it smells like corn chips, some say doritos, some say popcorn.  Corgis smell like snack food.

Why is this???  Is it naturelle l’odeur de corgi?  Is this some cruel joke?  ”OH, let’s take dog, give him stubbies, a nubbin, a ridiculous smile, derp factor of 11 to the power of potato…annnnnd make das feet smell like corn chips!”

The answer is actually fairly simple!  Dogs sweat through their feet, just like us!  The sweat gets trapped in the fur and in between tootsies, and starts to stank.  Think about it…if you didn’t shower for a couple weeks, how would your feet smell?  Not corgitastic I imagine.  

Also, many cheaper dog foods use corn as the main ingredient…ahhhh…the smell source!  If having your own corgi sized corn chip flavored air freshener running around is too much, try a different food.  You can also try trimming the fur between toes.

Then again, maybe your corgi just works the night shift at the Fritos factory.

Look for the story of the mysterious cornchip feets coming soon to an encyclopedia corgtannica near you!

Hey all you corgiholics!  It’s time for some new entries in the encyclopedia corgtannica.

We’ve been studious and defined some of the major corgeez nouns, verbs, adjectives, and potatoes.  So far, we’ve put on our floofeh pants, frapped, and wagged our nubbin with the derpiest of corgis.

We’ve still got some left to define from the previous poll (Mind Control, Corgum, Cow Spots, Cardigan vs Pembroke).  BUT WE NEED MOAR WORDS.  Corgeez is a fickle beast.  The Corgi Research Association of Pembroke needs your halp!

Leave some corgi words you want defined in the comments, and we’ll have a new poll.  It’s up to you corgi addicts!

To nub, or not to nub: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis stumpier in the mind to suffer
The furminator and piles of outrageous phloof,
Or to take paws against a sea of derp,
And by opposing end them? 

Nubbin - (noun)

That little thing sticking off of your corgis butt.  What is it?  A nubbin.  

Nubbins turn out to be a big controversy in corgi world.  The nubbin is the little lump or residual part of a tail that has been docked, as seen in the Pembroke on the right in the above photo.  His sibling on the left has not been docked.  Most in the USA are docked.  Despite this, some stubborn corgis are even born with the nubbin gene and have no tail at birth.

Why dock a tail?  Some say to prevent injuries in working dogs.  Others say its just for looks.  The AKC says a tail of up to two inches is allowed.  I think farmers just thought it would be funny to make a stumpy dog even stumpier.  But lets not get into an argument on docking.

Recent studies at the esteemed Corgi Research Association of Pembroke (C.R.A.P) suggest there is no link between your corgi’s derp/frap/phloof level and whether or not it has a nubbin.  So whether or not your letting your tail flag fly or rubbin’ a nubbin’, enjoy your corgi and corgi on.

No one can deny that this is one major benefit of nubbification.

PS: If you have a tailed Pembroke, or any other exotic corgi model, feel free to submit it to CorgiAddict.

Let’s face it.  Your corgi is derpy.  I know it, you know it.  Your corgi’s helmet knows it.  He’s your special little guy, the winner of the Kentucky Derpy of your heart.

But just because corgi came out of the oven a little early, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t love him.  Embrace the derpside.  

Derpy corgi - (noun, adjective, verb, potato)

If frapping is a physical corgi act, then derping is a seriously emotional state. Derpy (in corgi world) is a word  used to describe an overzealous corgi that incidentally looks completely, utterly, ridiculous. while at the same time being inexplicably adorable.  It typically involves your corgi making some half-baked face, with googly eyes and his tongue hanging out the side.  Crossed eyed corgi face is teh true derp.

How to tell if you have a derpy corgi on your hands:

1)  Googly eyes, side tongue, and a ridiculous smile.  Corgi insists on wearing bow tie despite the lack of formal events on his calendar.

2)  More than once, you’ve had to rescue your corgi after his head got stuck in some kind of container, most likely a KFC bucket or peanutbutter jar.

3)  You remind your corgi daily that “If you keep making that face, it will stay like that!”

There’s actually a long history on derp (herp derp, hurr durr) outside of the corgi world here & here, involving My Little Pony.  And, if you want your work productivity to go to a grinding halt, check out the Almighty Holy Site that is reddit for some derp action.

Floofy Pants - noun
(floofeh/fluffeh/fluffy are also acceptable)

A corgis back legs and butt area sometimes get extra fluffy, therefore looking like corgi is wearing a pair of really furry or fluffy pants.  Not all corgis have the same size floofeh pants, as certain factors such as the corgi’s overall fluff index and grooming come into play.  See above photo for a prime example.  Seriously, look at that thang.

Be careful when looking at the floofy pants.  Corgis can sense it, they’ll use it to their advantage.  You’ll often catch them looking back at you.  This immediately causes a cute overload, as there is no defense against your little Sally McCottonBottoms looking back at you.

Usage: My God Becky, look at her floofypants, they are soo big. She looks like one of those frap guys corgis. (See Sir Mix A Lot, insert corgi)

PS:  While your little choo choo train of cute might look good in this seasons fashionable corgi colors, please be safe when dying their pants!

Looks like the winner is in!  Thanks to all you corgiholics who voted!  Floofey pants comin at cha!

Frap - (verb) Frantically Running And Playing or Frantic Random Acts of Play:

When your corgi realizes he’s a corgi and starts running around frantically acting like its the best day of his life.  Sometimes after a bath, sometimes in the park, sometimes for cookiez, and sometimes just because he can.

Usage: Wow, did you see Sgt. Floofehpants? He was frapping his heart out.

Standard frap session occurs in the above video, BUT, corgis can frap indoors too. Check out this little Frappy McFrappington’s quick session, ending with a nice sploot.

PS:  Recent advances in corgi research recommend not letting corgi achieve 88mph while frapping.
