Verboticisms

Pronunciation: ee kol ee nyzed

Sentence: Pathogenia thought she was alone in her abode. It was not until after she had had several showers in the less-than-new apartment that she felt crowded out. At first it was the odd spot or streak on the curtain or wall, but after a few days, she realized she was ecolinized by a different life form. Thank goodness for her new boyfriend, Mr. Klean. He came straight over after her panicky call and sprayed every inch of the bathroom with his essence. The orange blight was eliminated and she was once more alone in her apartment. At least until the mice, silverfish and cockroaches drop in for a visit...

Etymology: E-coli (Escherichia coli-Escherichia coli (abbreviated as E. coli) are a large and diverse group of bacteria) & Colonized (a settlement; those who settle in a new colony or move into new country; migrants)

Pronunciation: SHH-nopp-yew-lazz-umm

Sentence: Claire's first weekend at her boyfriend's apartment went well enough- until she attempted to shower. Comfortably wrapped in a plush monogrammed guest towel and armed with high-end pseudoscintillating hydrating bogusflavinoid SHAMpoo, as well as a small beaker of realpoo, Claire got one sexy foot into the shower and was stopped cold by a severe SCHNOPULASM. She choked down her revulsion like a shot of Southern Comfort and backed away in disgust, repelled by the matured colony of living pestilence she had almost touched. Supressing her gag reflex, she opened the window and gasped for air until her SCHNOPULASM receded enough for logic to regain a toehold on her cosmetic saturated brain. Claire quickly doused the entire shower stall with a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and fled from the deadly vapours for the relative safety of the bedroom and her industrial-sized bottle of generic booze. As Claire's brain slipped quietly into a comforting bath of ethyl alcohol, her SCHNOPULASM began to recede, but she knew that it just wouldn't work. If alcohol hadn't killed HER by now, what chance did it have against the hybrid orange slime just a few deadly feet away?

Etymology: No etymology. SCHNOPULASM is entirely fictitous and based upon the silliness of it's sound.

SEVENTY BILLION to buy up BAD stuff so that people can get more credit to live beyond their means? Seems like a good idea. DOUBLE YOUR I.Q. OR NO MONEY BACK ? Duh.....okay. Sounds good to me. http://www.scriptologist.com/Magazine/Tips/Network/network.html - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 11:58:00

Rats! The link- it no fits..... - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 11:59:00

I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the defense budget and the Russians and crime in the street. All I know is first you['ve] got to get mad. You've got to say: 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more. I'm a human being, goddammit. My life has value. - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 12:01:00

A garden that is overgrown needs more nutrient, and not getting that, it dies off the rest and leaves only the strong. Your life has value, yes, but in the big picture, it is a cog. I predict a massive die off real soon, be it by a human hand or the indifferent shrug of mother nature. - zxvasdf, 2008-09-29: 12:51:00

I concur, zxvasdf. The Garden is a good one. First we have fall and winter. Then we have spring and summer again.I anticipate the great purge you speak of, for I, too know it is inevitable. I do not fear death, but I am enjoying as much life as has been alotted to me. The partial becomes complete; the crooked, straight; the empty, full; the worn out, new. He whose (desires) are few gets them; he whose (desires) are many goes astray. Ars Longa Vita Brevis :) - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 16:35:00

unforunately this is going to hurt everyone - when I forget to water only the weeds survive - Jabberwocky, 2008-09-29: 16:37:00

Weeds are only plants growing where YOU don't want them to. I don't really mean to expand the "grey area" to it's natural limit (if there is one), or to "push the envelope" of comments but i just have to say that it's great to see so many CREATIVE sentences employed with tame abandon. A fortnight ago there was a dearth of microstories posted here, and that's what i really look forward to reading as the midnight hour creeps slowly nearer each evening. VERBOTOMISTS- I salute you! - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 17:04:00

This is more like blogging than the blog itself. And I don't even know what a blog looks like. - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 17:14:00

It takes guts to invent a word right out of thin air. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-09-30: 17:41:00

Pronunciation: iˈpif-ə-muck

Sentence: Sally was going about her normal morning routine when she an epiphamuck moment. Perhaps it was the sip of coffee she gulped before she climbed into her shower or the boring line-up on TV the night before that precipitated a full night's sleep, she was actually awake this morning. She wondered why she would have bought an orange shower curtain that didn't go with the other accessories in the bathroom. It was only when she noticed that the orange didn't stop at the edge of the curtain that she had a major case of orange-slime heebie-jeebies.

Etymology: epiphany (a moment of sudden revelation or insight) + muck (dirt, rubbish, or waste matter)

COMMENTS:

I remember the heebie-jeebies. Where did the nitty-gritty come from? That's what I want to know. :) - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 17:07:00

Pronunciation: Or ang mold grok

Sentence: There she was calmly minding her business with a deep lathering of her armpits, her mind wandering into the next hour to compile a lengthy list of what she would, might wear. Her eyes focused on this queer orange smear on the tile. She peered closer through the steam. Her eyes focused once more, uncomprehendingly, as a languorous orangmoldgrok slipped down the length of her being. Then the dam broke loose and her larynx trembled, pouring forth a torrent of platitudes that continued until she realized there was no help in the coming. Now calm, she finished her shower and shuddered with relief as she stepped out of the stall. She had been orangmoldgrokked!

Etymology: Orange (the color of the fruit) & mold (rapidly replicating fungus) & grok (to understand)
