Dishracknophobia<\/strong>: \/dish-rak-na-foe-bee-ah<\/em>\/ The Adams family had such a severe case of dishracknophobia that every night after dinner was bedlam. Etymology:<\/em> dishrack + arachnophobia Created by:<\/em> porsche.<\/p>\n

Washerloo<\/strong>: \/wash-ur-lu<\/em>\/ The battle of Washerloo was re-enacted every time the Smiths had French cuisine. Etymology:<\/em> wash + Waterloo Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

Thanks, now I have the Abba song going through my head…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dishfunctional<\/strong>: \/dishf\u00c9\u2122ngksh\u00c9\u2122nl<\/em>\/ Momma loves cooking but hates doing the dishes. Billy read somewhere on the net that dishwashing detergent is bad for the environment so refuses to have anything to do with it. Dad can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stand touching food scraps. This family is truly dishfunctional. They tried using paper plates once but nobody wants to take out the trash. Etymology:<\/em> dish (a shallow, typically flat-bottomed container for cooking or serving food) + dysfunctional (not operating normally or properly) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Detergentinsurgents<\/strong>: \/dee ter jent in serj ents<\/em>\/ Every night the battle ensued…of the detergentinsurgents. Too dumb to establish a rota or work together, they fought blindly every night over who would get stuck doing the dishes. Finally in an effort to stop the racket every night, the neighbours bought them paper plates and plastic utensils and peace was restored. When thanked, they just said “Forketaboutit!” Etymology:<\/em> Detergent (cleansing agent used to wash dishes) & Insurgents (a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority;in opposition to a civil authority or government) <\/p>\n
