VERBOTICISMS:<\/strong> (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)<\/em><\/p>\n

Morphins<\/strong>: \/mawr-fin<\/em>\/ There’s a morphin in the fridge, Judy screamed as she slammed the door shut. Though she had only gotten a quick glimpse when she moved the milk, she knew what is was. The leftover muffin she had promised to finish off last week had inched its way to the back of the ice box and taken on a life of its own with its hairy tentacles clinging to and infiltrating a number of its neighbors. It is going to take a strong stomach and about a gallon of bleach before Judy will feel safe in her kitchen again. Etymology:<\/em> morph (to be transformed) + muffin (an individual cup-shaped quick bread made with wheat flour, cornmeal, or the like, and baked in a pan ) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Putriments<\/strong>: \/PEWT-reh-ments<\/em>\/ The malodorous emanations coming from her fridge let Elsie know in a big way that the fridge had become a haven for long forgotten putriments and she momentarily contemplated calling 911 for emergency removal. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of ‘putrid’ (in a state of foul decay or decomposition, as animal or vegetable matter; rotten) and ‘nutriments’ (anything that nourishes; nourishment; food) Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n

Malimentumorph<\/strong>: \/<\/em>\/ Etymology:<\/em> Created by:<\/em> Throckwoddle.<\/p>\n

Decompotion<\/strong>: \/de com po shun<\/em>\/ Just before grocery day, Meredith was always afraid to check the fridge. New life forms sprung daily from the stuff at the back of the fridge that she had forgotten about. In June, when she found the eggnog from last Christmas, she knew she had a decompotion on her hands. Ewwwww. Etymology:<\/em> Decompose (rot,go bad) & Compote (a dessert) & Potion (a medicinal or magical or poisonous beverage) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n
