VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Peekunease: /-PEEK-uh-neez- (like the common pronunciation of “Pekingese”)/ When Joyce returned from the store, she tried on her new swimsuit once again, but this time felt a sudden sense of ‘peekunease’. She turned to see little Fluffly staring up at her, regarding her with, what felt to her like, disapproval and morbid curiousity at the same time. Etymology: peek – to peer furtively (c.1374, piken “look quickly and slyly,” of unknown origin) + unease – state of discomfort or awkwardness (un- “not” ease – from Old French, aise “comfort, pleasure”) & Pekingese – breed of small dog originally from Peking, China Created by: Tigger.

Good one! There’s actually a town named ‘Dogle’ in New Mexico, (US). It doesn’t come up on Mapquest though. Maybe it’s just a place where a bunch of wide-eyed dogs gather.

Attention Verbotomists: We are trying a new thing this week with “photos”, which we are using to illustrate the definitions, instead of the cartoons. I have chosen photos from some of the best photographers at Flickr. Click on the photo credit (creative commons license) under the image to see the original pictures. Hope you like them! ~ Jamesgalwaywegian – 2008-02-18: 07:36:00
