VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Dentribulation: /dentribyÉ™lÄshÉ™n/ The dental office that Michael goes to has all the modern amenities to deal with any dental issue he might come in with. What they have trouble dealing with is his dentribulations. He will sit in the lobby furtively looking over ages-old magazines dreading THAT moment – when the nurse sticks her head through the door and calls his name. Michael’s inner adult tells him to relax and trust that he will be taken care of. His inner child is kicking, screaming, scratching and biting. The staff hates it when his inner child gets out. Michael has also found that feigning deafness or amnesia doesn’t work very well. Etymology: dental (of or relating to the teeth) + tribulation (a cause of great trouble or suffering) Created by: artr.

Dentrified: /den-tri-fied/ (no offense to Gloria Gaynor)
At first I was afraid,
I was dentrified.
Kept thinking I could never live if I should open wide.
But then I spent so many nights thinkin’ how my gums went wrong
and I grew strong,
and I learned how to go along.
And so I’m back, my teeth to brace,
You just walked in and have no chin with that thing on your face.
I should have changed my worried mind, I should have made you rinse your mouth if I’d have known for just one second you’d be drilling north and south.
Oh no, not I, I’m dentrified.
As long as I can rinse and spit, I know that I’ll revive.
I’ve got all my teeth to fill, I’ll just take this little pill and I’ll survive, I will survive — hey, hey! Etymology: dentistry: care of the teeth +
terrified: extreme fright Created by: mrskellyscl.

Physicruel: /fizz ick! crew ull/ “Let me check you over” Dr. Max M. Rough said. He measured and pressured, prodded and poked, nudged and budged, thrust and dug, then jabbed and stabbed, finally shooting my body with concotions of innoculations and vaccinations … all those hurtful ‘tions’ … I wished I could shun! During the mammogram, I wish I could slam a gram, or two, of his most tender flesh between those smashing, mashing plates! When he was done, I asked him “Why does a good going over have to feel so bad? Why is a physical so physicruel?” Etymology: PHYSICAL, CRUEL. Physical – medical examination. Cruel – painful, harsh, hard, nasty and unpleasant. Created by: silveryaspen.
