COMMENTS:
Alternative pronunciations make me think of "compulsion to move the body in time to music" and "an example from or fleeting moment in the life of a rodent". As such, the word kicks ass and gets my vote. - Bulletchewer, 2007-05-02: 16:49:00

Whisconsinners
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: wiss-con-sin-ners
Sentence: In one particular state, men who were convicted of a crime and sent to the state penitentiary were made to shave their heads but grow their whiskers long to show that they were convicts. They were known as the Whiscons because of their distinctive beards and attire. Once day a Franciscan friar who was quite a gifted preacher came to convert the convicts. He was so persuasive that the entire jail repented of their sins and were baptized. They all shaved their beards into the form of a cross to show that they were "Whisconsinners" and spent the rest of their sentences doing fasting, penance and good works. The men who were sentenced to life with no parole began a Priory at the jail where they specialized in making delicious cheeses, jellies and license plates. They were called the Little Brothers of the Whiscon Cross which was eventually shortened to "Whiskers." The unfortunate brothers who were on death row were called Fryers.
Etymology: whiskers: facial hair + con: person imprisoned for a crime + sinner: one who commits a sin

That picture is so disturbing on so many levels.
mplsbohemian - 2007-05-02: 11:01:00
Um, oy, that must have come off so transphobic. :\
About the picture... I have received a suggestion that this young lady's allegiances are less than clear, so I have prepared an alternative portrait. Please see: Being Clear About our Allegiances. Thanks ~ James

Yikes!! the options are even more disturbing - pretty soon she'll look like Chewbacca
purpleartichokes - 2007-05-02: 13:26:00
OMG! It's an American Hairwolf in Toondon! (Or perhaps she has a hairmone problem.)
wordmeister - 2007-05-02: 16:30:00
Chewytobacca? I wonder what JediJawa thinks of that?
Bulletchewer - 2007-05-02: 16:45:00
Always love stirring up debate, but credit's due the artist. For some strange reason forgotten in a dream, I only ever thought of this definition applying to the male of the species...
wordmeister - 2007-05-02: 17:26:00
It appears as if this wampeter definitely needs a waxing!
