Zigele: /-zi-ge-le- (note: the stress is on the first vowel of the word)/ WOMAN No.1: “So I tell my Moishe: ‘Don’t climb up that ladder. You’re no spring chicken!’ And what does he tell me? He tells me: ‘I’m no spring chicken, but I still know how to change a light bulb!’ And I say: ‘Don’t change that light bulb. We will call Isak. He will change the light bulb.’ And what does my old ZIGELE say? He says: ‘Go away woman. I will change the light bulb!’ So now he’s a triple impotent, can you imagine?†WOMAN No.2: “A triple impotent? What is a triple impotent?

Contracisor: // Etymology: Created by: ericman.
Lambastard: /LAM bas terd/ John is a lambastard who tends to angrily dismiss or criticize everything he hears. If he can pick apart any detail and prove you wrong, he will. He doesn’t even seem to really be enjoying himself – he just seems pissed off all the time. He still hasn’t figured out that being friendly is sometimes more important than being right. Etymology: lambaste (to criticize severely, berate harshly) + bastard. Yes, OK, I know that the first word is correctly pronounced “lam’ bast,” with a short “a,” but I just couldn’t resist. Anyway, the alternative was “contradickt,” and I already used “dick” this week. Created by: karenanne.

You argue with everyone you know,

Your Teutonic pride should have told you it was actually a very fast Panzer.
Etymology: Contrary (very opposed in nature or character or purpose) & Aryan (according to Nazi doctrine, a Caucasian person of Nordic descent) &
Panzer (German armoured tank) Created by: Nosila.
