Zombuy<\/strong>: \/zom-bahy<\/em>\/ Marsha stumbled from one store at the mall to another zombuying presents for all her family members knowing full well that she would be eating Ramen noodles for her dinners, at least, until March. Etymology:<\/em> zombie (the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose) + buy (purchase) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Oweoweowe<\/strong>: \/oh oh oh<\/em>\/ Going into her usual mall trance and buying whatever caught her eye for gifts, Carol’s motto was “buy now, pay later, hope there’s room left on the card”. She was sure the mall Santa had boomed out “oweoweowe” to her as she sleptwalked past him. Etymology:<\/em> Owe (be in debt) & Ho Ho Ho (what Santa says…) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Santasmerized<\/strong>: \/san-TAZ-mer-izd<\/em>\/ Once again the Christmas spirit had Leon absolutely Santasmerized, feeling the need to please everyone with lavish gifts, he seemed to be in a stupor and he was putting thousands of dollars he could ill afford on his credit card. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of ‘Santa’ and ‘mesmerized’ (Spellbound or enthralled. Hypnotized) Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n
