Messcatology: /Mess Cat ology/ Leonard was a man of deeply held convictions. Through obsessively cleaning and ordering everything he sought to rid the world of chaos, and thus change and progress. Once everything was thusly (de)filed, his dreams would be realised: the end of civilisation as we know it!
Tuesday presented Leonard with an opportunity. Penny, a kind hearted and gentile soul from across the hall had invited him for dinner. While the disorganised Penny unpacked her groceries, Leonard attempted to move one step closer to his goal by relieving Penny of Sheldon’s litter box detritus. Sheldon however had agendas of his own, namely the detritus that had collected in Leonard’s head. Feline hissery and chaos ensued, and instead of hitting the fan, the contents of Sheldon’s litter box, along with Leonard, hit the floor.
Later as Leonard wandered home he pondered the evenings events. The mission had been thwarted, but his will remained iron clad. He would reaffirm his faith and end his evening with another reading from the book of Messcatology. Etymology: Eschatology – pertaining to bringing about the end of days, Biblical style.
Mess – a disorderly state of affairs.
Cat – the reference to the genus Felis Catus is (almost) entirely coincidental Created by: emdeejay.

Succorsucker: /suk er suk er/ “The holly arrives Friday. Will you help make holly wreaths Friday night? the president of the Optimist club said. “We start selling them this Saturday. They have to be ready.” Handy Andy suckcomed (succombed) with a reluctant “Okay”. He was very busy during the holly days. Friday night, only Handy Andy and the president of the Optimist club showed up. He was stuck making holly wreaths all night, right up to Saturday morning, when people began arriving to buy them. Looking around for help from the president, he soon discovered the president had snuck out on him, leaving him to stay all day, selling them, alone. His mind kept silently repeating “succorsucker!” Etymology: Succor – to give aid and assistance. Sucker – as a noun: pushover, fall guy, dupe – also as a verb: conned, tricked, duped.

Counselquence: /Cown-sel-quen-se/ When Nicola heard the knock on her door late one night she knew it would be her best friend Dana with news of the latest traic event in her life. This time she found her in floods of tears, when she asked her what was wrong she told her that she had been seeing a married man and didn’t know what to do. Being a good friend Nicola sat and listened to her for the next five hours, eventually she advised her to give the man an ultimatum, the wife or her. Dana thanked her and left.
