Fun word ... you could give it other daffynitions like: 1) when you treat your girlfriend like a dog ... you petronize her. (OUCH - that could make it a bad word like some four letter words!) - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 15:43:00

And would the adjective/adverp of this word Guccipooch ... be Guccipoochie? Love your word's rhythm and rhyme! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:04:00

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I give up. My brain is affected by all this verboticism activity ... now I'm typing adverp for adverb. Not sure it was a fingerslip or a brainslip ... maybe I need to dental floss my brain after being too long on this website! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:06:00
