Farticulate<\/strong>: \/-fahrt-tik-yuh-leyt-<\/em>\/ Since his retirement, on most days, Walter would just sit on the porch in his rocking chair, smoke cigars and farticulate, saying things like, “Maybe only half of them A-rabs are terrorists, but so what? Just bomb the whole lot of ’em, is what I says, and let God sort ’em out.” He was obviously suffering from farteriosclerosis. Etymology:<\/em> Fart – v. to break wind; n. the odorous result of breaking wind; [as in “Old Fart”] (from Middle English, ferten, of imitative origin) + Articulate – to voice or clearly describe ideas (from Latin, articul\u00c4\u0081re “divide into distinct parts”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n
