VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Vacellate: /va sel layt/ Mona’s phone was often on the fritz. It never happened when robocall election polls came through, heavy breathers or debt consolidation recordings happened. It would only vacellate when Mona needed it for emergencies, work calls, making important appointments or talking to cute guys on the 1-900 numbers. Etymology: Vacillate (to be undecided about something; waver between conflicting positions or courses of action)& Cell (Cellular telephone) Created by: Nosila.
Quitessential: /kwit-uh-sen-shuhl/ Marsha assumed that the owner’s manual had a typo when it described her new computer as quitessential. Not so. All too often, when she was at a crucial juncture in a tabulation, it would just quit. She wouldn’t even get the dreaded blue screen, just a few Chinese-looking Kanji characters and a shutdown. When she had the characters translated, they said “I have a headache, goodnight”. So much for buying a cheap PC from the back of a van. Etymology: quit (of the pure and essential essence of something) + essential (absolutely necessary; indispensable) Created by: artr2.
Emergencyalater: /emergence-see-u-later/ Dan always disappeared when it came down to crunch time, definitely an emergencyalater kind of guy. Etymology: Emergency + See you later Created by: dekra.
Iphoneular: /I-Phone-U-Lar/ Etymology: Iphone + Failure Created by: BeauKnows.
