Formermoans

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: for mer moanz

Sentence: Although they had officially broken up, Dick and Mona always enjoyed their Friday nights. Their deal had been that if either had no current love interest, they would get together for a formermoans session. It sounded like a friends with benefits relationship but carried on much further. One had to wonder why it still occurred after each had been happily wed to others for a number of years? What if their prospective grandchildren found out?

Etymology: Former (ex, previous) & Moans (an utterance expressing pain or disapproval or joy or sexual desire) -Wordplay on Pheromones (a chemical substance secreted externally by some animals (especially insects) that influences the physiology or sexual behavior of other animals of the same species)

You know, if everyone could vote an unlimited number of times, or if there was a ranking system, instead of a voting system, that would take care of several problems at once. It would fix the late-post deficiency as well as the too-many-good-words problem.

Maybe no new words should be displayed until there are at least 10, so you won't be tempted to vote until there's a sizeable batch of words.

ErWenn - 2007-02-18: 10:16:00
Or even just switch the vote to yesterday's verboticisms while people are creating today's.

That would have the added (mostly good) effect of giving me something to do on Verbotomy on Saturdays.

Hey ErWenn and Discoveria, We could try either of these options. Would you be interested in a test week using an alternative voting sytem? Let me know ~ James (james@verbotomy.com)
