Kitschsake<\/strong>: \/KICH-seyk<\/em>\/ When Bob heard that Roxie’s mother was coming over in about 16 minutes time, he promptly and prominently displayed the “toaster-shaped” teapot, the “piece of toast” clock and all the other items of kitschsake she had given them. Etymology:<\/em> Conflation of KITSCH(from German)meaning: gaudy, trashy objects or items and (OE) SAKE, as in “keepsake”, meaning an item kept for the sake of the giver.

Stowmento<\/strong>: \/-stoh-men’-toh-<\/em>\/ Reluctantly, Carlos pulled out the box of stowmentos from the attic \u00e2\u20ac\u201d including the Elvis Presley drink coasters, the Marilyn Monroe lamp, and dreaded wall-hanging singing trout \u00e2\u20ac\u201d since he knew the whole family would be stopping by to visit this weekend. Etymology:<\/em> stow – to store for future use (from German, stauen “to store away”) + memento – a reminder of the past; a keepsake (Latin, imperative of meminisse “to remember”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

Gewgawdawful<\/strong>: \/goo gahd ah full<\/em>\/ Damn it…where did I put that gewgawdawful your mother gave us – she’s coming over in 15 minutes, and if I don’t have that ceramic poodle out on the mantle, she’ll know we hate it… Etymology:<\/em> gewgaw – a gimcrack or worthless bauble + god-awful Created by:<\/em> kabloozie.<\/p>\n
