VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Aquariass: /-uh-KWAIR-ee-ass-/ Lisa carried that stupid water bottle with her everywhere — even when they went out for lunch. Carl told her, “I’m sure they have Coke or tea here, Lisa. You don’t need to bring your own drink.” Lisa replied, “My body needs water to stay hydrated. I am an Aquarius, you know.” Rolling his eyes, Carl thought to himself, ‘You mean an Aquariass, don’t you?’ Etymology: Aquarius – eleventh sign of the zodiac; the Water Bearer (Latin literature, “water carrier”) + ass – a stupid, foolish, or stubborn person (from Old English, assa “donkey”) Created by: Tigger.

Roaringly funny! Ingenious! Extraordinary! May it Asspire to be top verbot!

galwaywegian, 2008-02-21: 06:19:00
water good word!

Banky, 2008-02-21: 13:08:00
I think that today is the Age of Aquariass. Your verbot is a mystic crystal revelation.

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-22: 00:14:00
I enjoy your work!

I missed this yesterday… sheer brilliance!!

Hydrogents: /high dro jents/ Freddie always thought himself as one of life’s hydrogents. He enjoyed his bottle of water everywhere and while recycling 64 ounces of the fluid behind a tree in the park, accidentally exposed himself to a policeman. It was then he realized that you don’t buy the bottle of water, you only rent it. It was also then that he finally realized why his co-workers nicknamed him Liberace…because he was the peeanist in the group! Etymology: hydrogen (H2O) & gentleman (man of refinement) Created by: Nosila.

Comments on Hydrogents:

Maxine, 2008-02-21: 08:14:00
Very elegant! – but what about people with different hydrogenitalia? (And what about that Oxygen atom?) Nevertheless, your snazzy creation snares my vote.

silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00
Also a great pun on the word hydrojets! A water-deflying peeanist escaping from the cops! Excellent humor! Extraordinary verbot! Excellent!

Nosila, 2008-02-21: 19:56:00
Cheers, Maxine & silveryaspen! It is the origin of the phrase: “Water you in for”?

silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:09:00
You’re on a roll! When it come to word fun … your tops!

Nosila, 2008-02-22: 23:55:00
Takes one to know one…must be the lunar eclipse/full moon!

Hydrophiliac: /-ËŒhaɪdɹəˈfɪliæk-/ Severe hydrophiliacs run a risk of hyponatremia or at least of peeing their pants. As the saying goes, “Drink like a fish; piss like a horse.” Etymology: from hydro- + philiac Created by: ErWenn.

Comments on Hydrophiliac:

ErWenn, 2008-02-21: 00:08:00
Too easy, I know.

silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 02:17:00
Maybe it was easy for you, but I’d have never thought of it! When I read it I erupted in loud laughter! You have taken gross humor to new heights … or should I say watery depths! Kudos for your extraordinary sentence and an ingenious verbot! Excellent!

galwaywegian, 2008-02-21: 06:22:00
how much water would it take to hydro fill a yak? very nice!

Mustang, 2008-02-21: 07:20:00
Splendiferous verboticism!!

ErWenn, 2008-02-21: 21:25:00
The “too easy” was referring to the word. I’ve always been a bit of a liquiphiliac (though my drink of choice used to be soda, before my dentist showed me what I was doing to my walle-I mean teeth), so I’ve had years to refine that fish/horse joke; if it’s not funny, I need a new hobby.

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-22: 00:11:00
Excellent.

Bottleulism: /bottle-u-lism/ Harry was ever fearful of the dreaded bottleulism outbreak of ’99 and therefore kept his bottled water handy at all times. Etymology: bottle + botulism Created by: bookowl.

Comments on Bottleulism:

Mustang, 2008-02-21: 08:02:00

libertybelle, 2008-02-21: 09:12:00

silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:19:00

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-22: 00:20:00

ErWenn – 2008-02-21: 08:53:00
I’ve spent most of my life in the desert (16 years in Nevada and 8 in Arizona), so where I come from, this sort of behavior is just common sense.

Jabberwocky – 2008-02-21: 09:12:00
I like the picture today James – it’s closer to a cartoon

Verbotomy – 2008-02-21: 09:50:00
Thanks Jabberwocky. I’m having a little fun with the photos — just to keep them light. And by the way, we’re floating in great words today. Obviously everyone here is over-hydrated. ~ James

silveryaspen – 2008-02-21: 13:54:00
Every day there are so many brilliant and funny creations! Especially so today! Kudos to all you verbotomists!

Hey Silvery, thanks for the definition! I was wondering what I was doing… So I’m glad that you have defined it. And thanks for all the creative energy which you are sharing with everyone! ~ James

silveryaspen – 2008-02-21: 21:18:00
Chuckling! I don’t think I knew what I was doing by submitting that definition!

silveryaspen – 2008-02-21: 21:21:00
Ahhhh! But Maxine knew what she was doing with her definition today! You really inspired some great creates! Kudos for coming up with this one!

It has it all! Says it all! Simply Fantastic!

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-20: 16:22:00
Great word. Brings to mind a couple of “pathy” words i have come across recently: “Ambipathy” a mixture of sympathy & antipathy & “Tidapathy” : a coinage based on Malay, “tidapah”, (tidak) meaning “never mind”.

Comments on Palthetic:

Jabberwocky, 2008-02-20: 11:06:00
I wasn’t sure if you were trying for pal or pall in your etymology – both work well

Banky, 2008-02-20: 13:56:00
Excellent verbot.

silveryaspen, 2008-02-20: 14:17:00
Your sentence and word were so good the sorrow in them almost gave me heart palpitations! Outstanding!

Today’s definition was suggested by metro1. Thank you metro1. ~ James

silveryaspen – 2008-02-20: 14:58:00
There are more words for different types of snow than there are for different types of love. Your definition helped us create some other words, for the one, you defined so well. Thank you metro1!

metro1 – 2008-02-20: 16:11:00
Thank you Silveryaspen. I am definitely impressed by all the words people have invented. And I intend to share them with the mepathetic cupidhole who so pityfoolishly inspired it, but only if she says pityplease.

DEFINITION: v. intr. To be accused of something you didn’t do, then do that exact same thing later, completely by accident. n. A false accusation which coincidentally happens to be correct.

Lewinskidince: /loo in skid inse/ It was a pure lewinskidince, she was shining my shoes before my press conference, the phone rang and I couldn’t find an ashtray. Etymology: lewinski, coincidence Created by: galwaywegian.

Comments on Lewinskidince:

Jabberwocky, 2008-02-19: 11:16:00
are you sure it wasn’t blewinskidince?

silveryaspen, 2008-02-19: 12:11:00
Roaringly funny!

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-19: 15:29:00
Certainly put her moniker on this one!

purpleartichokes, 2008-02-19: 18:20:00
HA!

Meaculprit: /me – ah – cul – prit/ “My lunch was in a white sack. It’s missing from the fridge. Did you take it?” said Trudy. “It wasn’t me! As you can see, I’m eating the yogurt, the apple, and the iced tea I brought. ” Erica replied. Trudy took the last brown lunch sack, not white like hers, from the fridge. She opened it. As she set the yogurt, apple and iced tea on the table in front of Erica she said, “Oh, we brought the same lunch in different sacks! You did take my lunch! So now, I will take yours! When it comes to stealing lunches, we are both mea culprits! Etymology: A blend of culprit and mea culpa. Culprit: which carries the double meaning of both an accused person and a guilty person. Mea Culpa: means “accepting guilt.” And of course the admission of guilt in bad grammar “me a culprit!” Created by: silveryaspen.

Comments on Meaculprit:

Tigger, 2008-02-19: 13:04:00
Neat word. While reading your sentence, a previous submission, from a few months ago, came to mind – Sandwicheroo.

Jabberwocky, 2008-02-19: 14:29:00
since Trudy deliberately ate the wrong lunch I would say she’s guilty of being the meamaximaculprit

libertybelle, 2008-02-19: 14:57:00
great word!

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-19: 15:27:00
Another great word and entertaining sentence!

Comments on Factcident:

silveryaspen, 2008-02-19: 12:20:00
Good sentence!

ErWenn, 2008-02-19: 19:04:00
Good word and spot-on with the sentence.

Tigger, 2008-02-19: 20:48:00
I really like the sound of this word. Question though: Your pronunciation (fakt-ser-dent) sounds like how someone from Long Island, New York would say it (adding ‘r’s). Was that intentional?

Fict: /fikt/ He told the lie with such conesty, that no one suspected that his fact, was in fact, a fict. Etymology: fact, fiction Created by: purpleartichokes.

Comments on Fict:

silveryaspen, 2008-02-19: 12:07:00
Short, strong sentence and blend. Like conesty as much as fikt! Exceptional!

Tigger, 2008-02-19: 13:20:00
Agreed, I like ‘conesty’ as well.

OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-19: 15:32:00
Yep, “conesty” is tops!

purpleartichokes, 2008-02-19: 15:49:00
I liked conesty too, but when I saved it, google found it on another invented word web site.
