VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Holidazed: /holly dazed/ Like a good shepard, we watered the flock on our tree. Yet, flocks of needles fell to the floor. Prickly pairs of party animals, all spruced up, rollicked fir hours, drooping into the pine droppings. They eventually decked the halls, wherever they fell, not even aroused by herds of belles.
All (people and trees) were thoroughly holidazed. Etymology: Holidays, Dazed Created by: silveryaspen.

Love it.
Festilence: /Fest-y-lence/ Joe was sick and tired of pulling pine needles out of his socks, tinsel from his jackets and various other christmas detritus from his clothes and furniture. The rug was hopeless, having been unceremoniously rolled up by an intoxicated friend who was himself a vexmastation (vexxing xmas infestation) and who had proceeded to topple the christmas tree and scatter needles, baubles, tinsel and lights asunder. ‘Tis the season of festilence’, he thought to himself as he vacuumed the rug again. Etymology: Festive – of the season and the proliferation of easily dispersed and infesting decorations. The mood and wild abandon with which such infesting objects are dispersed and initially ignored.
Pestilence – a nuisance or pest, such as the inevitable pine needles, tinsel, baubles, ribbon, cookie crumbs and scraps of wrapping paper that breed when you’re not looking and bedeck the house after the christmas hiatus. Created by: dochanne.

Brilliant.
Infestivus: /infestivus (just like it looks)/ Debbie and Art were planning a December wedding. To keep it from becoming completely infestivus, Debbie’s mother suggested having it a week before Christmas so that out-of-town relatives might stay through Christmas and no longer. She was quite wrong. It turned into Infestivus Maximus with hordes of relatives hanging around until the New Year. Like pine needles stuck in the carpet, she could not get rid of them. Etymology: infest (of insects or animals) be present (in a place or site) in large numbers, typically so as to cause damage or disease) + festive (cheerful and jovially celebratory) Derivative of Festivus Maximus (Baltimore Raven term for the Super Bowl) Created by: artr.

Pine needles are easier to deal with than relatives. They don’t get insulted when you yell at them.Jabberwocky, 2008-12-18: 14:46:00
clever – Seinfeld reference maybe?timlumber1, 2008-12-19: 21:50:00
