Verboticisms

Pronunciation: BLEET-sink

Sentence: Generica was a delightful lassie who was driven to expound at length in clipped sentences on the excruciating details of her alpine life. Her wooly logic did not penetrate, but only grazed the skulls of those who inexplicably flocked to bask in her aura. Shorn of all restraint, her radiant soul and genuine sincerity was so endearing that you cud only hope to drive in a word wedge when she stopped ruminating to catch her breath. Most people just became BLEATSINKS for Generica's rambling monologues, sheepishly absorbing the airy earnestness of whatever it was she was talking about. I became a BLEATSINK myself, held fast by her steady gaze while the evening passed with the speed of a glacier. I might have stomped out had I been younger, but it's difficult to resist such charms- especially when you're pasture prime.

Etymology: BLEAT+SINK=BLEATSINK-A takeoff on heatsink (a device that absorbs or dissipates unwanted heat ) BLEAT:to make the natural cry of a sheep or goat, to utter a similar sound,to talk complainingly or with a whine,to utter in a bleating manner, blather; Middle English bleten, from Old English blǣtan;akin to Latin flēre to weep........SINK:penetrate,absorb, to become opressively known or felt; Middle English, from Old English sincan; akin to Old High German sinkan to sink.

Pronunciation: Vent-rawl-ation

Sentence: Diane's heart sank as she saw who was calling, but it was too late, she had pressed the accept button. Michael launched into his usual monotonic whining soliloquoy without as much as a 'how are you?' and before she knew it Diane was the same old sounding board she always had been since the start of this ventrawlation he chose to call a "friendhship". One day she really would train a parrot to say "uhuh" and "I know, oh, I know" just to see if he would notice. Or maybe she'd just get a new phone number and move to Cleveland.

Etymology: Vent - to release emotional energy with excess verbiage; drawl - excessive, pointless or slow speech; relation - indicative of a relationship of some variety.
