Fakecant: /fake-cant/ You could tell by the fakecant look on Bob’s face that he was either trying to avoid contact with the rest of us or he was called back to his home planet. Either way, he wasn’t missed. Etymology: fake: having a false or deceiving appearance + vacant: not occupied, empty Created by: mrskellyscl.
Circumvenshun: /sir kum ven shun/ Wally hated people bugging him at home. It did not matter whether it was on the phone, e-mail or at the door, he had the act of circumvenshun down to a fine art. People thought he was eccentric or occupied with some big hush-hush project. The reality was that Wally hated missing a moment of his daytime dramas. Yes, he watched every soap opera on the tube, every day. One could say that Wally was Young & Restless, he was living the Days of Our Lives to the fullest, his tv friends were like All My Children. He was not Bold & Beautiful, but if he had One Life to Live, As the World Turns, he was going to end up in General Hospital if he did not get some exercise! Etymology: Circumvention (the act of evading) & Shun (avoid and stay away from deliberately; stay clear of)

Motherducker: /mu ther DUK er/ Conn manages to be “sick” every year during inventory week. This is the fourth year that he’s stayed home while the rest of us have to climb ladders with pen and paper and count every stinking widget on those dusty shelves. He doesn’t even try to be creative any more – he’s like, “Still have the flu… yeah, that’s the ticket….” I can’t believe the boss STILL hasn’t caught on to that lazy motherducker. Etymology: duck (to dodge, evade) + mother*ucker Created by: karenanne.
