To The Definitions:
This week’s task was again to take five social situations and capsulize them into one word, instead of fifteen, or twenty. Not an easy assignment, but our creative and dynamic Verbotomists met the challenges in interesting, humourous and demiurgic ways. Bravo to all.
We saw a cash challenged shopper shropp, stashandcarry, consumouflage, delayaway and commit dresspionage while the floorstalkers, shopcreepers, clurks, peddlerpushers and salesassassins lurked in the background trying to make a sale and a quick buck.
The impenetrable packaging on our goods created bloody fingernails, as well as cellopain, attackaging, shrinkorrhage, incaplasticate, autodiscomutilate and peelandheal.
The last two situations focused on our human need to answer that damn phone no matter what, causing automatonate, callflex, comproinstinctivringobsession, oughtoreply, phonepulsion and technobliged and the nightmarish image of having to start a project all over again from point zero causing a plightbulbmoment, an eslipphany, an apocalapse, an oemeffgy, or an ohnoment.
For all five definitions and situations our Verbotomists created amazing and brilliant Verboticisms! THANK YOU ALL!!
