This happened so infrequently that it seemed imperative to write it down. He reached for a ballpointless pen and proceeded to do little more than tear a hole in a piece of paper. This whole exercise was ballpointless. He then had to try his entire collection of paper scratchers. As he looked at the advertising message on a pen and wondered where he had pilfered each one, the original thought he wanted to save for humanity slowly faded away, never to return. <em>Etymology:<\/em>  ballpoint (a pen with a tiny ball as its writing point) + pointless (having little or no sense, use, or purpose) <em>Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paperblankwriter<\/strong>:  \/<em>Pay-per-blan-k-ry-ter<\/em>\/ When Steve&#8217;s boss called to tell him the date and details of a very important meeting, he thought he had better make a note of it as his memory was not his best asset.  He picked up the nearest pen but it had run out of ink so he tried again , only to realise that all the pens in the house were paperblankwriters that refused to work. He made a vow to himself that next time he would always buy his pens in bulk and discard them as soon as they were running out. <em>Etymology:<\/em>  Paper(material made from wood pulp used for writing on) + Blank(empty, plain, not marked) + Writer(a device that writes information) = Paperblankwriter <em>Created by:<\/em> TJayzz.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Comments on Paperblankwriter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verbotomist.php?user=Jabberwocky\">Jabberwocky<\/a><\/strong>, <em>2008-10-03: 09:46:00<\/em> <br \/>playing the Beatles card eh?  clever<\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verbotomist.php?user=TJayzz\">TJayzz<\/a><\/strong>, <em>2008-10-03: 13:06:00<\/em> <br \/>Being British what else could I do?<\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verbotomist.php?user=Nosila\">Nosila<\/a><\/strong>, <em>2008-10-03: 20:16:00<\/em> <br \/>A Hard Day&#8217;s Write??<\/p>\n<p><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verbotomist.php?user=OZZIEBOB\">OZZIEBOB<\/a><\/strong>, <em>2008-10-05: 17:36:00<\/em> <br \/>hard to beatle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To see more verboticisms for this definition go to:<br \/> <br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verboticisms.php?jid=pen\">https:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\/verboticisms.php?jid=pen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Be Creative, <\/p>\n<p>James<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.verbotomy.com\">www.verbotomy.com<\/a><br \/>\nthe create-a-word game<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEFINITION: v. tr., To search for and find a pen to write down an important note, only to discover that the pen does not work. n., A moment in time when the only pens you can find, are pens that do not work.
