Pedestrain: /Ped-est-rain/ Greg lived a very beige life and enjoyed it’s banality. He went to work, did his grocery shopping and walked his dog. He occasionally visited family and had dinner with friends but that was the extent of his excitement. Greg was a cautious man who didn’t want to get hurt, so no snow-boarding, rollerblading or motorbike riding for him. “Oh my god what happened to you?” blabbered his secretary Janine when he came in for work in casts one day. “I slipped down the stairs with my groceries when my dog ran passed me out the door. The detergent bottle I had bought burst open and I slid and fell all the way from the sixth floor to the foyer in the detergent.” He said blandly. Janine burst out laughing. “And then I crashed into the floral display, which fell on me. The rose thorns got stuck in my skin.” “Wow.” Said Janine giggling. “That’s a real pedestrain,” but Greg didn’t get it. Etymology: Pedestrian – banal, boring, hum-drum, mundane, insipid and prosaic. Also referring to the boring act of walking somewhere..
Strain – injury usually induced by using a part of your body in a way it’s not used to. Also happens when you’re doing very little but doing it alot.
I note that this verbotomy is found quite frequently on google due to the sad fact that many people can’t spell pedestrian. I think that makes it all the more poignant. Created by: dochanne.
Youtilate: /u til layt/ In his Victim’s Statement, Mervin could only lay blame on himself for the disfiguring stapler incident. He did indeed unwittingly youtilate himself by pointing the offending sharp electric stapler towards his groin area before firing at will. Sure he couldn’t have kids now, but at least he was able to keep his legs together. His fastenating career at Staples was now secure! Etymology: You (as in yourself, no one else;second person singular) & Mutilate (destroy or injure severely;alter so as to make unrecognizable)
