VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Disamvowel: /dis am vow el/ Wendy was always the first to disamvowel when she had hurt herself accidentally. But when she accidentally poked her eye out, she made more of a spectacle of herself than usual. Etymology: Disavow (deny;disclaim responsibility for) & Disembowel (remove innards) Created by: Nosila.
Deadnial: /ded-nahy-uh/ Denise has always been known as a contrarian. Whatever the subject, she will be on the opposite side of any argument than the majority. Last week she was involved in a car accident. She was declared DOA when she arrived at the hospital. In a serious case of deadnial, she sat up and demanded to be seen by a doctor. As long as refuses to believe in her demise she will probably stay around to contradict the status quo. Etymology: dead (no longer living) + denial (disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing) Created by: artr2.
