Bellykinesis: /belÄ“kinÄ“sis/ Jordan believes that he possesses bellykinesis. When he is hungry his gut makes more noise than an amorous bullfrog. He somehow believes that the resulting sound waves added to microwaves will lower the cooking time of his meal so he presses his ample tummy against the nuke box. Jordan was asked to not return to his corner sandwich shop when he tried to practice delikinesis. Etymology: belly (the stomach, esp. as representing the body’s need for food) + telekinesis (the supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other nonphysical means) Created by: artr.

Nukenesis: /nook ken ees sis/ Luke always felt his superior intellect allowed him to conduct experiments. He used his enormous brain to try and speed up the cooking of his lunch by what he called nukenesis. And yes his cheese melted twice as fast through this power. He ran boasting to his mother, whose only comment was: “Use your Lukenesis instead and persuade someone to give you a job? You are 32 and still living off you father and I!” Etymology: Nuke (to zap;microwave food) & Kinesis (a movement that is a response to a stimulus but is not oriented with respect to the source of stimulation)

Omniscientist: /om nee sy ent ist/ Brenda was an omniscientist when it came to all subjects. At least she thought she was. She could annoy family,friends, co-workers and even complete strangers with her know-it-all-ness. There wasn’t a subject she was not an authority on and even though she could bluff, people really knew she did not know it all nor could she be correct at all times on all matters. When asked if she understood the Big Bang Theory, she told them that it was a sitcom on tv and she could understand it because it was in English! Etymology: Omniscient (infinitely wise)& Scientist (a person with advanced knowledge of one of more sciences)

VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Villagepeephole: /vill aj peep hole/ In our little town many years ago, no one had a telephone except for the drugstore at the bottom of the street. The pharmacist was next to the butcher’s shop. Long ago, some clever person decided to drill a peephole in the side wall between the two shops. The butcher had a packle of kids and the family lived above the shop. Whenever a call came in for someone up the street, the pharmacist would yell through the hole who the call was for and the butcher would dispatch one of the brood to go get the recipient. This social network system was called the villagepeephole and was used constantly, until the day that phones became more affordable to the town’s people. Eventually the shops were knocked down in the name of progress and to divert the youth of the town, a recreation centre was built and you guessed it, the villagepeephole gave birth to the Y.M.C.A.!”Young man, there’s a place you go…” Etymology: Village (little town) & Peephole (hole cut in something to peek through;spyhole) & Wordplay on Village People Created by: Nosila.

Rationalbatross: /ra shun al bit ross/ When Penelope asked her father, Gordie, for a computer (or anything that cost money), he had his usual rationalbatross excuse ready. On this occasion it was about the fact that when he was young, computers were a science fiction story, not reality. So he had to develop his super brainpower to get through all eight of his years of school. Of course, he then went into his old “I walked through five feet of snow for eight miles without boots or a winter coat, carrying a raw potato for my lunch at school, after I had milked the cows, fed the pigs and chickens and brought in a bucket of snow to melt for water” schtick. Etymology: Rational (logical) & Albatross (figurative) something that hinders or handicaps) Created by: Nosila.

Etymology: duh + debate Created by: libertybelle.

Logihooey: /läjihoōē/ Whenever Cindy approaches her father with a proposal to buy something he bombards her with logihooey, passionate drivel about how he had to work for everything he has ever owned.
