Witty! Meaning full! You always have such a great way of playing with your words and coming up with the best wons! To blend four words and have it be a pun on another one ... and all right on the definition ... just blows my mind! Outstanding! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-11: 21:14:00

Pronunciation: /zi-ge-le/ (note: the stress is on the first vowel of the word)

Sentence: WOMAN No.1: “So I tell my Moishe: ‘Don’t climb up that ladder. You’re no spring chicken!’ And what does he tell me? He tells me: ‘I’m no spring chicken, but I still know how to change a light bulb!’ And I say: ‘Don’t change that light bulb. We will call Isak. He will change the light bulb.’ And what does my old ZIGELE say? He says: ‘Go away woman. I will change the light bulb!’ So now he’s a triple impotent, can you imagine?” WOMAN No.2: “A triple impotent? What is a triple impotent? How do you go from changing a light bulb to being a triple impotent?” WOMAN No.1: “Well he fell. I tell you, that ZIGELE fell off the ladder. It was a really bad fall. Oi, vei…” WOMAN no.2: “So what? What does it have to do with impotence? What is triple impotence?” WOMAN no.1: “Well… he was a regular impotent before, you know… except now he has two broken hands and he bit half his tongue off.”

Etymology: ZIGELE (fr. Yiddish) - a goat

Pronunciation: LAM bas terd

Sentence: John is a lambastard who tends to angrily dismiss or criticize everything he hears. If he can pick apart any detail and prove you wrong, he will. He doesn't even seem to really be enjoying himself - he just seems pissed off all the time. He still hasn't figured out that being friendly is sometimes more important than being right.

Etymology: lambaste (to criticize severely, berate harshly) + bastard. Yes, OK, I know that the first word is correctly pronounced "lam' bast," with a short "a," but I just couldn't resist. Anyway, the alternative was "contradickt," and I already used "dick" this week.

Pronunciation: /ri-BUHT-hed/

Sentence: Lyle was such a rebutthead that he started an argument with the mugger who was trying to rob him, telling him that he wasn't holding the gun correctly. At first Lyle tried to demonstrate with his empty hands but the criminal was incompetent, and Lyle told him so. Frustrated, he reached for the gun to show the mugger again. Lyle is finally out of Intensive Care and recuperating nicely, although he's driving the doctors and nurses crazy.

Etymology: Rebut - to refute by evidence or argument (from Old French, rebuter "to thrust back") + Butthead - a stupid or inept person (slang: buttheads often "butt heads" with other people, but the 'anal' connotation is clear. Also, Beavis' buddy)
