Extraturkeyestrial<\/strong>: \/ex-tra-tur-key-es-tree-al<\/em>\/ There has been an extraturkeyestrial lurking in my fridge since Thanksgiving. It has now grown to twice it’s original size and has changed colour but because of it’s glow I’m saving money on a fridge light. Etymology:<\/em> extra turkey + extraterrestrial Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

\nwho’s gobbling now hahahahaha. Great word<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 08:45:00<\/em>
\nRoared with laughter … evokes so many thoughts from given a whole new meaning to being Turksih or being a Turkey … or even if there’s a planet Turkey named after the country … or it’s people? This word boggles the imagination! I like it!<\/p>\n

\nA great word – im sure ET looks nothing like the image you created!!<\/p>\n

\nI think it’s time for it to turkey off! Crazy, creative word !<\/p>\n

bananabender<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-03: 09:53:00<\/em>
\nYou’d better put a lock on your fridge door or you could end up with an astral-nomical phone bill! Great word!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tupperlings<\/strong>: \/tup-pur-lings<\/em>\/ Hoping for a midnight snack, Dirk went to the kitchen, only to discover his fridge door open and all his plastic storage containers empty. As the realization dawned that the tupperlings had escaped, he looked around the dark, silent kitchen in horror. Etymology:<\/em> tupperware + living(l) things Created by:<\/em> yellowbird.<\/p>\n

\nThe magic box that turns supperlings into tupperlings … and they’re out to get us! They’ve given me the chuckles!<\/p>\n

\nTubberware marketing campaign ruined – they said keeps everything sealed!! – nice word.<\/p>\n

Devittles<\/strong>: \/Deh-viht-tills<\/em>\/ Off turned the light, and the nightly terror began for the as-yet-unexpired food. The nosferatuna slid stealthily into door hopper, where the condiments rested. A silent shadow, it sunk its celery fangs into the neck of the mayonnaise jar, gorging upon its salty fatty humors. Having turned, the zomayo lurched itself over its retaining wall and began to feast on the cauliflower, which it had mistaken in its saturated stupor for brains. A large sasquash ripped its way through the forest of broccoli and emerged upon a family of tomatoes, huddling in the corner of the produce crisper. A gout of seeded ichor sprayed across the front of the clear plastic drawer. Then, a hush fell through the refrigerator as the elder god of the cooler, Cthulhummus rose, an amorphous evil clad in finest shimmering Saran. Muffled screams issued from the magnetic seal around the door, but fell upon sleeping ears. Tonight the devittles reigned, and no food would go untainted. Etymology:<\/em> devil (or possibly deviant) + vittles Created by:<\/em> Banky.<\/p>\n

yellowbird<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 14:27:00<\/em>
\nYou get my vote for using Cthulhummus. Dagon and Nyarlothotep beware! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Jabberwocky<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 14:41:00<\/em>
\nWow – so many great stories today – I love nosferatuna – could also be nosfuratuna (furry mould)<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 15:42:00<\/em>
\nGreat style – reads like a mystery … as well as a spoiled food history! Kudos for the novel-ty of the day!<\/p>\n

purpleman<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-02: 12:49:00<\/em>
\nits good but the sentence is a little long<\/p>\n

bananabender<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-03: 06:50:00<\/em>
\nclever word, clever story, entertaining, funny! What more could we want?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Backhereia<\/strong>: \/bak heer ee ya<\/em>\/ The refrigerator was old, the paint chipped and the door handle had long since disintegrated. Upon prising the door open, the light no longer came on, but in the darkness you could hear the backhereia shuffling around and when your eyes became accustomed to the darkness you could make out its vaguely luminescent trail. Etymology:<\/em> bacteria, back here. Created by:<\/em> galwaywegian.<\/p>\n

Jabberwocky<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 08:37:00<\/em>
\nvery funny – kinda scary with a southern drawl<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 09:21:00<\/em>
\nIt took me while to figure out why this word kept running through my mind … is it related to diarrhea? Scared the crap out of me too! (silly grin!)<\/p>\n

sean30<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 15:01:00<\/em>
\nYour sentence reads like a horror novel, loved it.<\/p>\n

OZZIEBOB<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-01: 15:34:00<\/em>
\nGreat sentence; like the word alot!<\/p>\n

purpleman<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-02: 12:47:00<\/em>

purpleman<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-02: 12:52:00<\/em>
\nweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee<\/p>\n

bananabender<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-03: 09:23:00<\/em>
\nA chiller-thriller word… it evokes “they’re ba-ack!” with a good measure of hysteria thrown in as well. Good one galwaywegian!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nGreat cartoon James! The details are a hoot… the bite out of the drumstick, stuffed olives as eyes, and wings mutated into a two-headed monster. Funny! You’ve inspired me to submit more ideas for you to develop and take to the nth degree!<\/p>\n
