Fidodidoes

Created by: Mustang

Pronunciation: Fye - doe - DYE - doze

Sentence: The overly friendly and boisterous fidodidoes of his dog, Charlie, when visitors came around, had caused great consternation for Worthington and had even gotten to the point where he was considering getting rid of Charlie or abandoning his desire to entertain friends and coworkers.

Etymology: Blend of Fido (generic dog name) and didoes (mischievous tricks; pranks; antics)

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

metrohumanx FIDODIDOES is very creative. But why restrict ourselves to criticism of canine-americans? This smacks of rampant specieism. Love the word, though. Good work, MUSTANG! - metrohumanx, 2008-07-04: 07:43:00

fun to say - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-04: 10:34:00

Prehumptuous

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /pri-HUHMP-choo-uhs/

Sentence: After his incarceration in 'the pen', and his subsequent release into society, Fido displayed behavior that could only be described as prehumptuous. Fido's owner, Owen, could scarcely have a date drop by his apartment, or even his own mother, without Fido first pawing and then birddogging them. Needless to say, that made for some quite embarrassing visits.

Etymology: Presumptuous - impertinently bold behavior; forwardness (from Latin, præsumere "to take beforehand") & Hump - [as in 'humping'] a bad pet habit often displayed by canines; and particularly Fido! (slang origin of the word is uncertain; first published use in 1785)

COMMENTS:

Great words this week everyone. Been travelling a lot, so I know this is way late, but I couldn't help adding my complaints about that absolute hound, Fido. Sorry metro, but he really is a "Bad Dog!!" - Tigger, 2008-07-06: 03:46:00

Yes the rumors are true. This week we are offering the The Verbotomy Cup as prize for the top player of the week. See details on the Verbotomy Blog ~ James

Jabberwocky - 2007-04-27: 12:54:00
Hi Verbotomy, Those cups (mugs)are really great. Would it be possible for any of us to purchase ones even if we don't win?

Verbotomy Verbotomy - 2007-04-27: 23:57:00
Hi Jabberwocky, Glad you like the Verbotomy Cup! It is our wampeter, and as such I don't think we would sell it, because that might turn it into a MacGuffin. ~ James

petaj petaj - 2007-04-28: 01:07:00
Is it our waxing or waning wampeter? What's the other one (since a karass always has exactly two wampeters)?

Verbotomy Verbotomy - 2007-04-28: 08:49:00
I believe it is still waxing. And think that Dan Pink's right brain is the other wampeter. ~ James

Quit a tail from the punster extrordinaire! Poor FIDO is the Lee Harvey Oswald of doggie misbehavior.
