Miskit<\/strong>: \/miss-kit<\/em>\/ Buttons looked around the conference room at the 234 perfectly identical faces and bodies, dressed all in charcoal grey suits. In eerie unison they all turned to look at him with cold dead eyes. Feeling quite miskit, he adjusted his rainbow wig, performed an awkward three-point-turn in his size 37 red patent leather shoes, and exited through the door he’d entered. He realized his mistake when he re-read the sign posted by the door, which in bold block letters announced, “Welcome clones!” Etymology:<\/em> misfit + kit (British slang for clothes) Created by:<\/em> Banky.<\/p>\n

Fiasclothes<\/strong>: \/fee-as-klohz<\/em>\/ It was embarrassing and a total fiasclothes when I showed up to my boss’ daughter’s Baptism in shorts, T-shirt, bathing suit, towel and a case of beer.
