VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Colorpoohpoohle: /kol or poo pool/ When Lavender asked her Daddy to buy her a computer, he was mauved to colorpoohpoohle her request. He entered a Purple Haze and told her a plum crazy story of how he had to lilac a sidewalk when he was young, just to get his Daddy to give him a magenta crayon to finish his homework. His Daddy thought just heliotropes used that color and it spurred him to almost violet behaviour towards his son. Luckily his mother had grape expectations of her only son and his father’s amethyst-icuffs did not scare her or his son. Poor Lavender, she had long ago drifted into a deep purple haze when listening to this periwinkle of a tale, because she was mauved to boredom. Etymology: Color (an outward or token appearance or form that is deliberately misleading)& Pooh-Pooh (express contempt about;reject with contempt) & Play on Color Purple (Alice Walker Book and 1985 Steven Spielberg film) Created by: Nosila.
Babblogic: /babel – ojik/ Cecil’s usual babblogic behavior befuddled even the most intelligent person. He was a babblegic in the truest sense in that he could expound a subject for hours and you came away not understanding the point of anything he had said. Etymology: babble (say or speak incoherently), logic Created by: mweinmann.
Ergocentrist: /er go SEN trist/ He is such an ergocentrist. Basically, his attitude is, “This is how I did it thirty years ago and it worked for me; therefore, this is how it should continue to work.” He says he never gets vaccinations because when he was 17, he got one, and the next day, he broke his ankle. Therefore, he would never get a vaccination again because he is sure it makes people’s bones turn brittle. Since then, he has never broken a bone, which just “proves” his theory. But he does get the flu almost every year. (Which he blames on computer viruses, because he never got the flu until he was 18, and hey, that was RIGHT AROUND the time that computers really hit the popular market, so therefore,….) Etymology: ergo (therefore) + egocentric Created by: karenanne.
