great sentence - Jabberwocky, 2008-01-14: 15:31:00
I liked cusinecide even better than cesserole ... but that's only cause I'm so easily grossed out. Today's definition certainly led to a lot of verboticisms that can do that! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-14: 18:48:00
great words! Ugh, I'm grossed out too. - bananabender, 2008-01-14: 19:56:00
