Ohmnavidud

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: OM-navi-DUD

Sentence: Despite months of work decorating his house with lights and other yuletide paraphernailia, Bob's Christmas, quickly, upon the flick of a switch, turned into a personal and festive ohmnavidud. Merry Xmas to all.

Etymology: Georg OHM, in 1827, gave his complete theory of electricity. His work greatly influenced the theory and applications of current electricity. OM or AUM: In Hinduism (and some other religions) the source of manifest existence. OM pervades life and runs through our breath: it is our spiritual and emotional energy. NAVIDAD: "Christmas" in Spanish, as in "Feliz Navidad." DUD: an event or thing that fails badly or is totally ineffectual; "the first experiment was a real turkey - a christmas one, no doubt."

metrohumanx

Created by: metrohumanx

Pronunciation: LOW-voe-SLOW-moe

Sentence: The Electrogrinch arrived stealthily at midmorning, spreading LOVOSLOMO over all the battery-operated gifts. Mr Machine slowed down and died,King ZOR expired in a pile of wrappings, Robbie the Robot refused to glow, Ipods and Walkmen refused to co-operate, Lightsabres and RC Cars lay dead in piles, and even the TV remote wouldn't function.The Lost In Space Roto-Jet Gun wouldn't roto,Mattel's Agent Zero M Radio Rifle grew silent and even Supercar wouldn't start, much less fly or submerge. All things considered, it was a peaceful, quiet and jolly Christmas day as the kids were reduced to playing with a Spirograph and a John Gnagy paint-by-numbers "art" set. Aaaaaaah---- Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah to all.....MetrohumanX

Etymology: LOw VOltage+ SLOw MOtion= LOVOSLOMO Origin: NE Pennsylvania slop talk.(fabricated neo-hipster jargon) from Lithuanian/Basque/Slovak OMOL-SOVOL meaning to have no ZAP.
