Aquariass<\/strong>: \/-uh-KWAIR-ee-ass-<\/em>\/ Lisa carried that stupid water bottle with her everywhere \u00e2\u20ac\u201d even when they went out for lunch. Carl told her, “I’m sure they have Coke or tea here, Lisa. You don’t need to bring your own drink.” Lisa replied, “My body needs water to stay hydrated. I am an Aquarius, you know.” Rolling his eyes, Carl thought to himself, ‘You mean an Aquariass, don’t you?’ Etymology:<\/em> Aquarius – eleventh sign of the zodiac; the Water Bearer (Latin literature, “water carrier”) + ass – a stupid, foolish, or stubborn person (from Old English, assa “donkey”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

Hydrogents<\/strong>: \/high dro jents<\/em>\/ Freddie always thought himself as one of life’s hydrogents. He enjoyed his bottle of water everywhere and while recycling 64 ounces of the fluid behind a tree in the park, accidentally exposed himself to a policeman. It was then he realized that you don’t buy the bottle of water, you only rent it. It was also then that he finally realized why his co-workers nicknamed him Liberace…because he was the peeanist in the group!

\nVery elegant! – but what about people with different hydrogenitalia? (And what about that Oxygen atom?) Nevertheless, your snazzy creation snares my vote.<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00<\/em>
\nAlso a great pun on the word hydrojets! A water-deflying peeanist escaping from the cops! Excellent humor! Extraordinary verbot! Excellent!<\/p>\n

Nosila<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 19:56:00<\/em>
\nCheers, Maxine & silveryaspen! It is the origin of the phrase: “Water you in for”?<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 21:09:00<\/em>
\nYou’re on a roll! When it come to word fun … your tops!<\/p>\n

\nToo easy, I know.<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 02:17:00<\/em>
\nMaybe it was easy for you, but I’d have never thought of it! When I read it I erupted in loud laughter! You have taken gross humor to new heights … or should I say watery depths! Kudos for your extraordinary sentence and an ingenious verbot! Excellent!<\/p>\n

galwaywegian<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 06:22:00<\/em>
\nhow much water would it take to hydro fill a yak? very nice!<\/p>\n

Mustang<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 07:20:00<\/em>
\nSplendiferous verboticism!!<\/p>\n

ErWenn<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-02-21: 21:25:00<\/em>
\nThe “too easy” was referring to the word. I’ve always been a bit of a liquiphiliac (though my drink of choice used to be soda, before my dentist showed me what I was doing to my walle-I mean teeth), so I’ve had years to refine that fish\/horse joke; if it’s not funny, I need a new hobby.<\/p>\n

\nI’ve spent most of my life in the desert (16 years in Nevada and 8 in Arizona), so where I come from, this sort of behavior is just common sense.<\/p>\n

\nI like the picture today James – it’s closer to a cartoon<\/p>\n

\nThanks Jabberwocky. I’m having a little fun with the photos — just to keep them light. And by the way, we’re floating in great words today. Obviously everyone here is over-hydrated. ~ James<\/p>\n

\nEvery day there are so many brilliant and funny creations! Especially so today! Kudos to all you verbotomists!<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong> – 2008-02-21: 14:02:00<\/em>
\nYou and your picture cartoons inspired a new definition submission today, James!<\/p>\n

\nHey Silvery, thanks for the definition! I was wondering what I was doing… So I’m glad that you have defined it. And thanks for all the creative energy which you are sharing with everyone! ~ James<\/p>\n

\nChuckling! I don’t think I knew what I was doing by submitting that definition!<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong> – 2008-02-21: 21:21:00<\/em>
