great sentence

silveryaspen, 2008-01-14: 18:48:00
I liked cusinecide even better than cesserole … but that’s only cause I’m so easily grossed out. Today’s definition certainly led to a lot of verboticisms that can do that!

bananabender, 2008-01-14: 19:56:00
great words! Ugh, I’m grossed out too.

Stewage: /-styoo-ij-/ From the smell, Ron thought that the kitchen sink had backed up again, and he was making toward the closet with the plunger, when Bridget ran into him in the hall and said, “You do remember that my mother’s coming over today, right?
