VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Mugnorant: /-MUG-ner-uhnt-/ George would stop by the convenience store every day after his morning run to buy Gatorade, and he was sure the young woman who worked there liked him. She would crinkle her nose in the cutest way, and cover her face with her hand when he flirted with her. He figured she was just shy. One day there was a new girl there, even cuter than the regular girl, and she did the same thing when George approached the counter, smiling at her. He decided to ask her out, but when he did, she said “No, you stink! Are you mugnorant or something?” Etymology: Mug – a human face [informal] (from Norwegian, mugge “pitcher”; usage from cups adorned with grotesque faces) + Ignorant – lacking education or knowledge (from Latin, ignorare “not aware”) Created by: Tigger.

vERY NICE.
Visagenary: /viz ah jen ne ree/ Let’s face it, Claude is a visagenary when it comes to reading people…he can’t. He has a lot of cheek, he gives a lot of lip and it’s hard for him not to brow beat people. He nose it is wrong, but he runs off at the mouth. Clause does it for attend chin and rather than lose face, he misinterprets peoples’ expressions. One of these days, he will get it in the kisser if he’s not careful… a homemade facelift. Then no one will be able to read his facial expressions either, cause he’ll have to go to a plastic surgeon, not a real one to save face. Etymology: Visage (the appearance conveyed by a person’s face;the human face) & Nary (not a one) & Visionary (a person with unusual powers of foresight;a person given to fanciful speculations and enthusiasms with little regard for what is actually possible) Created by: Nosila.

Ha! I read “attend chin” about ten times before I got it, then I laughed like a maniac… I’m so tired. Nice word though!
Mismugamy: /miss-mug-amee/ Mismugamy is the failure to note the true meanings of facial expressions. Etymology: miss + mug + amy Created by: bookowl.
