\"Wow!<\/p>\n

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

Ewwphoria<\/strong>: \/-eyoo-for’-ee-uh-<\/em>\/ Lauren’s convincing ewwphoria upon opening the Handy-Ma’am brassiere repair kit that Uncle Frank gave her this year was worthy of an Academy Award nomination. Etymology:<\/em> Ew – what you feel like saying when you open a gift you dislike (Orig. unknown) + euphoria – a feeling of great happiness; elation (from Greek, euphoros “well-being”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

\nGood word!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Giftwink<\/strong>: \/gift-wink<\/em>\/ I learned from my mother at a very early age to giftwink when I received clothes from my grandparents instead of a toy. Since then, my giftwinking is as natural and undetectable as my appreciation for a fine present. Etymology:<\/em> gift + hoodwink Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n

\nExcellent word.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Giftrionics<\/strong>: \/gif-tree-ON-iks<\/em>\/ Despite hours of shoe misery and stressed-out shopping to buy a contraption – which looked like space junk – but was supposed to help improve Bob’s putting, Roxie’s best intentions ended in little more than a staged smile and a few moments of crafted giftrionics. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of gift & histrionics: A deliberate display of emotion for effect, feigned emotion. Created by:<\/em> OZZIEBOB.<\/p>\n

\nVery clever word, Bob. Do you have one of those contraptions in your closet by chance?<\/p>\n

Jabberwocky<\/a><\/strong>, 2007-12-20: 13:36:00<\/em>
\nI know how Roxie feels<\/p>\n

OZZIEBOB<\/a><\/strong>, 2007-12-20: 16:29:00<\/em>
\nNot any more TIG. Wisely donated them for sale at grandkid’s school fete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Feignglorious<\/strong>: \/fane-glory-us<\/em>\/ Sally is so feignglorious that she fawns and feints over the most atrocious gifts. Now that she’s older she relies on botox to keep up her surprised smile. Etymology:<\/em> feign + vainglorious Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

OZZIEBOB<\/a><\/strong>, 2007-12-20: 16:23:00<\/em>
\nGlorious!<\/p>\n

\nToo funny (botox reference) and a nice blend.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
