Pimplement<\/strong>: \/pimp le ment<\/em>\/ Janice had finally hit on the next great thing. She modified her belt sander to plane off the zits and blackheads on her T-Zone. She called it a pimplement. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but was never picked up by any of those companies who mass market new inventions. It seems their doctors and lawyers took exception to removing a layer of dermis in a painful manner with a rusty tool from the garage. Go figure! Etymology:<\/em> Pimple (zit;acne) & Implement (tool,instrument) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Overtool<\/strong>: \/\u00c5\u008dv\u00c9\u2122rto\u00c5\u008dl<\/em>\/ Hal likes to overtool every thing he does. He shaves in the morning with a machete that he sharpens and hones for 20 minutes. He mows his half-acre lawn with a combine after mixing cocktails in a Hobart 20-quart commercial mixer. He doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see his numerous trips to the ER as an indication that he should change, just as a source of stories to share at the local hardware store. Etymology:<\/em> overkill (the amount by which destruction or the capacity for destruction exceeds what is necessary) + tool (a device or implement, esp. one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Electrocutilize<\/strong>: \/ee lek tro CYU til ize<\/em>\/ Stumpy likes to electrocutilize power tools for more mundane purposes. Last year, he electrocutilized his belt sander to polish his shoes – while he was still wearing them. That’s why his nickname is Stumpy. Etymology:<\/em> electrocute + utilize Created by:<\/em> karenanne.<\/p>\n
