Dysphuriation

Created by: Clayton

Pronunciation: dis-FYOOR-ee-EY-shuhn

Sentence: Gerald could not contain his dysphuriation, which was clearly harder on him than either Janet or Carl, the landscaper.

Etymology: dysphoria + infuriation

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Janet was into whoreticulture. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-01: 08:55:00

petaj Gerald was a mite angry, but Carl probably has a spray for that. Janet declared she was just being environmentally friendly. - petaj, 2007-06-01: 09:03:00

Carl was a seedy character, having had affairs with Rose, Daisy, and Lily as well. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-01: 09:19:00

sounds like a thHorny problem - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-01: 12:30:00

Yes, but Gerald rose to the occasion. - Clayton, 2007-06-01: 13:54:00

Damn, "rose" had already been used. I'll try again. It wasn't the first time Janet had been deflowered. Gerald fell into a vegetative state, preventing him from getting to the root of the problem. Tree times was fir too many. - Clayton, 2007-06-01: 14:05:00

Perhaps Janet felt that Gerald had been spending too much thyme with Rosemary and as he hadn't been wearing his foxglove he had developed a problem with his peonies - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-01: 15:35:00

Whereas Janet's gardenia belt left her feverbush exposed, making Carl's horse cane extremely gladiola, until his stamen peeked out from under his monkshood and he began pollen on his periwinkle. Fertilization was fine, but there was no possumhaw that he could marigold that witch-hazel and become a poppie, carting the orchids around to daisy care. Some called him a pansy, but many problems stemmed from his disinterest in cultivating a family and branching out. He wished everyone would just leaf him alone so he could smoke weed and listen to the Sex Pistils. Maple it was for the best. He'd rather bee with Jasmine, to chestnut on her pod and turn out the nightshade. - Clayton, 2007-06-01: 18:35:00

too funny - I'm splitpeaing myself with laughter!! - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-01: 20:10:00

petaj Clayton, you sure have some stamena for pROSE. Freesia jolly good fellow, and sow say all of us. - petaj, 2007-06-02: 23:34:00

Ha ha! LOVE it! - Clayton, 2007-06-04: 06:18:00

Confudulterage

Created by: ErWenn

Pronunciation: /kənfjuˈdʌltʌˌɹeɪdʒ/

Sentence: I was so overcome with confudulterage that I couldn't decide whether to scream, cry, break something, storm out of the room, or run off to join the circus.

Etymology: From confused + adultery + rage

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

The above sentence is not meant to be autobiographical in any sense whatsoever. I just wanted to avoid using a gendered pronoun, and I got tired of trying to think of an elegant way of doing so in the third person. Thankfully, I've never had to feel confudulterage before, and hopefully I never will. - ErWenn, 2007-06-01: 03:55:00

Here's to monotony...er... monogamy! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-01: 08:44:00

Platonetmet

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: plat ton net met

Sentence: They had gotten together innocently online through their Facebook contacts. What had been a simple exchange had ended up a more intimate relationship. But sexy as it was, they remained faithful to their spouses because their connectedness was platonetmet. It helped that she actually lived in Buenos Aires and he in a small village in India. Though they could not dance in person they could do the tantamount tango! It was only a matter of time before either saved up enough air miles to change their status.

Etymology: Platonic (free from physical desire);Net (Internet) & Met (came together;got to know;got acquainted with)

Clayton, this definition has prompted some inspired commenting.

Yes! You guys are so funny, I can hardly wait to read the book. ~ James

Heh. It seems like we've all been there. Fortunately, it's been several years for me.

I have made a couple of changes today. First, I have changed the way the Verboticisms are displayed so that now it shows the words from every Verbroom. I have also added a "Show All" link which lists all the verboticims of the day on a single page! Secondly I have added a comment tracking system so you can track all your conversations. If these changes cause a problem, let me know! ~ James

petaj petaj - 2007-06-01: 21:42:00
Thank you for the show all. I was thinking about the "tag cloud" idea. It would work well on the author pages, where the weighting for each word could be displayed by relative size of font. Then we could check out our best scoring words, and it wouldn't interfere with voting. Tracking conversations is a neat idea too. Are all the comments from every word in the one "track" or would we have to track each one individuall?
