Cutstration: /cut-stray-shun/ Sally felt deep cutstration whenever she tried to unpick the stitches she’d so cautiously sewn. Her part time job shelling shrimp (crustaceans) didn’t help. Etymology: cut + frustration + crustacean Created by: Jabberwocky.
Awkwound: /AWK-woond/ Tara’s finger ached as the awkwound on the side of her finger opened for the umpteenth time. She had cut it opening the first envelope of the day and it had been continuously stimulated with each successive envelope. Etymology: Awk(ward) + Wound Created by: MrDave2176.
Bugabooboo: /buhg-uh-boo-boo/ Ken was reminded of the bugabooboo on his finger when he attempted to fish some jalapenos out of a jar. This was the worst pain he had experienced since he had eaten a salty potato chip and irratated his lip ulcer. Etymology: bugaboo (a recurring problem or situation) + boo-boo Created by: Scrumpy.
Nickannoy: /nik-A-noy/ Friday, a file in the finger; Tuesday, a needle in the knuckle and, on Sunday, a graze on the glabella. Mishaps menaced Bob with monotony and nickannoys were second nature to him. Finally, worried that he would develop nickanoia, he told himself it was time to knock these needless, niggling nickannoyances on the head! Etymology: Nick: a small cut & annoy; to irritate, esp in minor but continuing way. Created by: OZZIEBOB.
