They have tacky lawn ornaments and loud parties. They have several cars that use all the parking spaces and let Fido run through the neighborhood to potty in everyone&#8217;s pansies.  But what really cheesed us off was when they yelled at the kids for going on their lawn to fetch their baseball. <em>Etymology:<\/em>  neighborly: acting as a friendly neighbor  + bicker: petty squabble <em>Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pickatfence<\/strong>:  \/<em>pik at fens<\/em>\/ The Wesson, Okai and Smith families lived next door to each other. Each had a pickatfence surrounding their yard.  This was because they had never gotten along and each was too stubborn to move. Things finally changed when they armed themselves and police were called to the shootout at the Okai corral, started by a Smith &amp; Wesson.  <em>Etymology:<\/em>  Picket( a wooden strip forming part of a fence) &amp; Pick At (to annoy, fight with,express a negative opinion of) &amp; Fence (a barrier that serves to enclose an area;enclose with a fence;fight with fencing swords or mean words)<\/p>\n<p> <em>Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Comments on Pickatfence:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verbotomist.php?user=mrskellyscl\">mrskellyscl<\/a><\/strong>, <em>2010-08-20: 09:07:00<\/em> <br \/>good one<\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verbotomist.php?user=Nosila\">Nosila<\/a><\/strong>, <em>2010-08-21: 00:11:00<\/em> <br \/>Cheers &amp; welcome back!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Neighborderly<\/strong>:  \/<em>n\u00c4\u0081bb\u00c3\u00b4rd\u00c9\u2122rl\u00c4\u201c<\/em>\/ The relationship between the Jones and Johnsons and has always been sketchy. They are the only ones in their court without fences. The divide between their properties is marked by a series of marker flags. They could be more neighborderly if Mr. Jones didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t move the flags when he mows his lawn and forget to move them back. The little red flags are slowly creeping towards the Johnson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house. <em>Etymology:<\/em>  neighbor (a person living near or next door) + neighborly (characteristic of a good neighbor, esp. helpful, friendly, or kind.) + border (a line separating two political or geographical areas) <em>Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Siblingrage<\/strong>:  \/<em><\/em>\/  <em>Etymology:<\/em>   <em>Created by:<\/em> jmunoz98.<\/p>\n<p>To see more verboticisms for this definition go to:<br \/> <br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verboticisms.php?jid=border\">https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verboticisms.php?jid=border<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Be Creative, <\/p>\n<p>James<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\">www.verbotomy.com<\/a><br \/>\nthe create-a-word game<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEFINITION: v.
