So, someone wrote in the other day with a pretty decent 'definition of what Luderdash means... here goes:
Luderdash:
A person who has no sense, laughing like an absurd, ridiculous, expressive, playful but aimless person, who comes from Ludhiana, India and dashes through the town smashing textile looms! But don’t confuse “Luderdash” with “LudaChris” as in “…that’s ludicrous!” —poor guy can’t help what his parent’s named him…tsk..tsk!
lu•dic
adj.
expressive of a playful but aimless outlook [the ludic uses of rhyme]
Etymology
[Fr ludique )
city in N India, in Punjab: pop. 607,000
Lud•dite
n.
1 any of a group of workers in England (1811-1816) who smashed new labor-saving textile machinery in protest against unemployment and reduced wages
2 a person opposed in principle to technological change: a pejorative term
adj.
of or relating to Luddites
Etymology
[said to be after a Ned Lud, feebleminded man who smashed two frames belonging to a Leicestershire employer (c. 1779)]
I hope this little trip to the dictionary in Info Store enlightens all your readers and sets that poor dude who's been branded the guilty person responsible for LUDERDASH!
Love U All

and all the ex-CTCites will confirm that yes, I have Luderdash!
