Therapeuttics<\/strong>: \/ther-a-pew-tix<\/em>\/ Jim felt young again after he started taking the pills. He had endless energy and couldn’t sit still. Unfortunately, the side effect was an uncurable nervous tic, where his head twitched manically all day and night. His wife left him and everyone pointed and laughed at him in the streets. But to him the therapeuttics were worth it. They’d all be dead and he’d be living it up in Ibiza. Etymology:<\/em> therapeutic (helpful healing) + tic (persistent muscular contraction) Created by:<\/em> CharlieB.<\/p>\n

Pubescebo<\/strong>: \/Pu – bes – cebo<\/em>\/ Martha would not have told her husband that she added a multivitamin to his breakfast if she could have foreseen the pubescebo effect it would have on him, resulting in a trip to the doctor after his back went out. Etymology:<\/em> Pubescent – Placebo Created by:<\/em> Mrgoodtimes.<\/p>\n

Viactra<\/strong>: \/Vie Act Tra<\/em>\/ Eugene’s viactra had gotten so bad, he just asked his granddaughter to the prom. Etymology:<\/em> Viagra + Actor Created by:<\/em> idavecook.<\/p>\n

Reptiledysfunction<\/strong>: \/rep tyl dis funk shun<\/em>\/ When Stan’s libido started to take long vacations, he went to the doctor to get some help in the form of little blue pills. After taking one or two, he started displaying unusual side effects. One of the more disturbing was what his wife Joyce called his reptiledysfunction. He ran around like a randy iguana. He stood in a menacing stance, tongue flicking in and out of his mouth, singing, “We’re off to see the Lizard, the wonderful Lizard of Awes”. Time to get that dosage checked… Etymology:<\/em> Reptile (any cold-blooded vertebrate) & Dysfunction ((medicine) any disturbance in the function of an organ or body part) and Wordplay on Erectile Dysfunction (the reason they made Viagra and such products-impotence resulting from a man’s inability to have or maintain an erection of his penis) <\/p>\n
