The Anatomy of a Piccaro!

After a very long absence I come back with a post which I feel everyone will find interesting specially the "Piccaroes". Now what does that last word mean. I assume that you have not heard it before. Well no its not a Spanish or Italian as it most certainly sounds like one. You will find it even more enigmatic if i say that its an English word. You might contemplate murder if I say that the word has been coined by people I know. Well I am not lying! Yes,the word is indeed English but it does not fall into the average vocabulary of a college going teenager. But I plan to change it all. Maybe after a few years or decades the word might find its place in an English dictionary.
But I have been beating about the bush till now. What exactly does the word mean? If you are an Assamese then you might have heard the word "Seni". Well that word means a boy or more specifically a man who flirts with girls unnecessarily, well you might say that anyone who flirts does it unnecessarily. Well in a sense that's correct but a "Seni" does it more out of habit then any other thing. Well after much searching I could not find an English equavalent to that crude word. When I said that to my friend Sidhartha Sankar Nath then we decieded why not create a word to mean the exact same thing in English.
We thought for some days and came out with a list of words which had no standard meaning in the English language.But Sidhrtha's choice of words were better than mine and at last we selected the word "Piccaro" to mean what we had in mind. Still we felt that in the days of female equality we had better give another word for our female counterparts to mean the same and we hit upon "Faggi".
Let me give you a brief meaning of the word "Piccaro" ;the meanings for "Faggi' are the same must it only applies for the females.
Piccaro(noun) means a person specifically a man who flirts with girls and spends unnecessary time with them. He does this for the pleasure of it without going into any long term relationship.
Maybe you all use this word and who knows it might get into use much sooner!
Toodles for now....will meet next time!!!
