Duhrections: /duh-reck-shuns/ It seems evident to me that one shouldn’t place their bare hand directly into a running snow blower, but apparently all of the visitors to my emergency room that come in with missing fingers due to doing just that failed to read the clearly marked duhrections on the side of the machine. Etymology: duh + directions Created by: libertybelle.

Neat & nice.
Redundinstructions: /ree dun din struk shuns/ One of the main problems with globalization (besides losing jobs in developed countries) is that buying manufactured goods abroad leaves you at the mercy of the person translating the directions for use into the English language. One such example of these redundinstructions was a little plastic kitchen tool Henry bought called a Real Remon Sqweezer. Written on a piece of paper inside the little box containing this tool were the words: “Push tool inside the lemon’s skin and turn the apple right until the orange juice comes running out of the onion. Wash off tool before seizing another fruit”. Etymology: Redundant ( more than is needed, desired, or required;repetition of same sense in different words; superfluous) & Instructions ( a manual usually accompanying a technical device and explaining how to install or operate it)
