VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Communescapetion: /komm mee yoon es kayp shun/ Dora told Diego, “We need to talk…” Diego hated conversations that started this way, because he knew he was in trouble for something or would have to make big, grown-up decisions or commitments. His favourite ploy was to get busy on his tv/computer etc. so that he had a communescapetion device. Too bad that Dora was smart enough to disable all his cyber-escape toys before their “chat”. You can’t really blame her…it was a big deal telling this nerd he would have to grow up and be an adult Daddy to a new little nerd! Etymology: Communication (be in verbal contact; interchange information or ideas) & Escape (an inclination to retreat from unpleasant realities through diversion or fantasy;remove oneself from a familiar environment, usually for pleasure or diversion) Created by: Nosila.

Converspacetion: /con-ver-space-shon/ Having a conversation with Jim was more like having a converspacetion. His addiction to the SciFi channel kept his mind in a galaxy far, far away. Jen found it difficult to talk to him about their relationship when he was wearing his Mr.Spock ears. “But Honey,” he grinned, “how can you say I’m not listening? I’m all ears!” Etymology: conversation + space (as in space cadet-unfocused, inattentive) Created by: mrskellyscl.

Pignore: /pig-nor/ John’s wife would talk, and talk, and talk. But he didn’t mind. He just pignored her, and nodded while he played hangman on his iphone.

Etymology: pi (the number 3.14159265, a symbol for techies)+ pig + ignore Created by: jrogan.

Ichatter: /Ä«chatÉ™r/ Sitting in front of his iMac, with his iPhone at his side and iPod plugged into his head, William was more than capable of iChatter. What he can\’t do all that well is iThink. That might require a different device, perhaps an iHaveToUseOnMyOwnBrain. Etymology: I (pronoun used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself) + chatter (talk rapidly or incessantly about trivial matters) Created by: artr.

Reekphysique: /reek fiz eek/ Rico went to the gym to seek, a more sleek physique. But it was bleak…he caused ladies to shriek and chaos did he wreak.

In doing so he almost committed gymicide. Etymology: gym (a gymnasium) + homicide (murder) Created by: artr.
