I love the sound of this one. Can also be used to describe the sniffing of outdated refrigerator items. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-05: 06:37:00

If it smells too bad, you involuntarily do the yuckshuffle. - Alchemist, 2007-03-05: 08:33:00

...and if it gets worse still, you'll be doing the gagmuffle. - w5lf9s, 2007-03-05: 09:07:00

And if it's really, REALLY bad, you could become comanose. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-05: 10:22:00

or get into a stinkscuffle over who cleans up... - Alchemist, 2007-03-05: 20:44:00

excellent! - galwaywegian, 2007-03-05: 06:34:00

I like the referencing to other verbotomisims. Makes it more feasable and its a great word too. - erasmus, 2007-03-05: 09:05:00

Thanks to you both. What would be even better is if I could reference previously submitted verboticisms...I'll have to think about that. - ErWenn, 2007-03-05: 17:06:00
