Injuritos: /injÉ™rdÉ™rÄ“tōs/ If I didn’t know better i would think Matt was something of a masochist. Every time I see him he is munching on a bag of Injuritos.

The insidious part is that the company that makes these “shivs in a sack” has added an ingredient called nacho that numbs the palate so that the damage is hardly noticed. Etymology: injured (harmed, damaged, or impaired) + Doritos (a popular brand of chips) Created by: artr.

Paronody: /per o no dee/ Shelley was always the life of the party, even at work. She could imitate anybody, but especially her boss, Fred. Unfortunately, Fred gave her lots of material to work with. Like many bosses, Fred was always too busy to answer his staff’s concerns. If you wanted to get his attention, it was usually a challenge. Unfortunately for Shelley, Fred also had a knack for showing up when she least expected him. If you talked to him, he would not hear, but if you talked about him, he had omnipresent hearing. Fred could managerialize out of thin air. This happened on Shelley’s last day of work, when she was doing her paronody of Fred dancing at the Christmas party.
“Out, Shelley”, he yelled…”you will be a slambossador no more”! Etymology: Parody (humorous or satirical mimicry; a composition that imitates somebody’s style in a humorous way) & Oh No! (Exclamation of regret, remorse, unpleassant surprise…like SNL’s Mr.Bill who always said “OHHH NOOOOO!)

Sinsulate: /sin sool ayt/ We Northern Canadians try to sinsulate ourselves against our cold, 8 month long winter by ingesting as many heat-inducing foods as possible.

Flabsolve: /FLAB-zolve
…flabsolution/ Oliver could hardy [sic] believe his good fortune. The local weathermen had predicted a massive blizzard which would surely keep him snowbound for months. Life had been no PYCNIC for Ollie, dieting all summer, trying to foragenerate enough fats and proteins to satiate his appetite. Corpulentil soup just didn’t do it for him. Now he could FLABSOLVE himself of any guilt for increasing his bulk over the winter. There wasn’t much to do, living this far north. Ollie couldn’t jog on the ro-tundra, nor could he pud-gyrate at the skating rink. Yes, the obese-ason was here, and he knew he would become davenportly, stout and quite dumpy as he bypassed his days on the heavysettee. The porcinema was not an option, as the seats were too small- there was no need to lap-ologize for that. Oliver’s days were abdominated by the internet as he ingested all the savory bits he had stockpiled for just such an occasion.
Now he could alibi-nge on deep-fried pork ends and he would surely be FLABSOLVED as he vindic-ate his way to a new profile. When not verbotomizing, Ollie spent a lot of time at defendaflab.com! His caloriclaim to fame might get him into the record books…and besides- he could shed those pounds in the spring. But now it was time to chow down. That’s ANOTHER fine mess hall he’s gotten himself into! Etymology: FLAB+abSOLVE=FLABSOLVE…..FLAB: back-formation from flabby ; soft fatty body tissue…..ABSOLVE:to set free from an obligation or the consequences of guilt;Middle English, from Latin absolvere, from ab- + solvere to loosen (one’s standards of caloric intake).
