Egony: /Ä“gÉ™nÄ“/ Dwight was in egony. He and all of the managers in his division had received the e-memo from the big boss. He had meant his commentary about the stupidity of this newest scheme to go to a fellow manager who shared his views but realized as he hit send that he had accidentally clicked “reply all”. Not only would this get back to the boss but his detractors amongst the managers would have the evidence of the source of his career implosion. Etymology: e-mail (messages distributed by electronic means from one computer user to one or more recipients via a network) + agony (extreme physical or mental suffering) Created by: artr.

Clickintheass: /click-in-thee-ass/ Luke didn’t know what possessed him to Google and then email not one, but several of his former girlfriends. Maybe it was the rum.

Interfret: /in-ter-fret/ Having spotted Tiffany’s email on Loretta’s Blackberry while she got up to get her Latte, Josh made a point to memorize it. Tiffany was the girl of his dreams, though to her he didn’t exist.
Later that night while on the computer, just to see what it felt like, he put in her email addy and began typing as if they had just spent the most passionate evening together. He got so into it that when done, instead of hitting the X to delete, he hit SEND out of habit! He went into instant interfret, began sweating profusely and decided he would claim it was just an assignment due in his psychology class, and thank Tiffany for helping him with his grade. Her “reaction of disgust” “was just the A” he was “looking for,” he said in response to her disgusted email. Etymology: internet + fret Created by: lumina.

Coincidentally, as he was in the throes of his interfret, Tiffany entered the coffee shop, engaged with her Blackberry. Josh’s seat became a puddle of sweat. She took him by the arm and walked to the back of the shop, where the restrooms were located, and for the next five minutes strange sounds emanated from that region.

Inhailstorm: /in hayle storm/ Being with Eddie was like always being in an inhailstorm. This was because he had to compulsively sniff at each and everything, just to ensure it had not gone off. One could easily testify that the only thing that had ever “gone off” was Eddie himself. Once a gifted wine “nose” and then a gifted perfume “nose”, Eddie had smelltered himself to the situation where people only called upon him if their carbon monoxide detectors failed or they suspected a gas leak. Yes, Eddie had stuck his nose in one too many places and now was facing a de-scent into madness!

VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Metoometoo: /mÄ“toōmÄ“toō/ Sheldon is a confirmed metoometoo. He has no opinions to call his own. Maybe it is his Swiss upbringing but he steadfastly remains neutral on every topic you could mention. He is great at collecting facts but somehow never gets to the point of deciding what he thinks. In a clear case of “whichever way the wind blows” any opinion expressed gets an immediate concurrence and cascade of supporting facts. Etymology: me (used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself as the object of a verb or preposition) + too (in addition; also) slightly derived from Star Wars droid R2D2. Created by: artr.

Sociofraud: /SO-see-oh-frawd/ Sheldon was always looking for opportunities to impress dates, employers and influential people and had become an absolutely shameless sociofraud and would do or say anything to achieve popularity. Etymology: Blend of social and fraud Created by: Mustang.

Chamfeign: /sham fayne/ Marvin was a snob and in order to impress his rich friends at the Country Club, he would pretend to know all about their culinary choices and pretend to enjoy them. In fact he knew very little about anything and his “friends” laughed about him behind his back. He was a chamfeign and did not really know that pate was goose livers smushed together; that caviar was cold eggs cut from a dead fish;that champagne was bubbly wine that made you burp a lot when you drank it as fast as he does or that steak tartare was raw meat with a raw egg on it. No one had the heart yet to tell him that sweetbreads were not made by bakers or that truffles were mushrooms that pigs dug up with their snotty snouts. Wait till he found out what that escargot he was pretending to enjoy really was…it would go great with the grenouilles he had just gulped down. Yes, Marvin was becoming a real connoissewer!

Injuritos: /injÉ™rdÉ™rÄ“tōs/ If I didn’t know better i would think Matt was something of a masochist. Every time I see him he is munching on a bag of Injuritos. The full-size chips are bad enough but the shards in the bottom of the bag might as well be chunks of glass. The insidious part is that the company that makes these “shivs in a sack” has added an ingredient called nacho that numbs the palate so that the damage is hardly noticed.
