VERBOTICISMS:<\/strong> (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)<\/em><\/p>\n

Fallallallallall<\/strong>: \/fall-all-all-all-all<\/em>\/ It was a Christmas tradition for the carolers to carry heavily spiked eggnog to ward off the chill winds and heavy snow but by the time they got half way through their route the chorus of deck the halls seemed most appropriate as they fallallallallalled into a deep snowdrift. Etymology:<\/em> fall all + Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
\nFa la la la la, la la la la.

It’s catchy, too. The alliteration is kinda drunken sounding.<\/p>\n

Terrific<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Christmasculate<\/strong>: \/kris-mas-kyuh-leyt-ed<\/em>\/ During our annual neigbourhood caroling, John’s six eggnog and rum completely christmasculated him and it took two carolers to drag him around from house to house.<\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> CHRISTMASCULATE – from CHRISTMAS + EMASCULATE (drooping, flaccid)<\/p>\n

Everlean<\/strong>: \/ev\u00c9\u2122rl\u00c4\u201cn<\/em>\/ Horace is no good at picking Christmas trees. No matter how good it looked in the lot, every tree he took home was an everlean. Somewhere between the tree lot and home the trunk would develop a bend. A few years ago he thought he could dupe the fates by buying an artificial tree. No such luck. Somehow it was damaged in transit and it too refused to stand upright. Etymology:<\/em> ever (at all times; always)+ lean (be in or move into a sloping position) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

But my dad’s name isn’t Horace. He was also great at finding trees with major bare spots.<\/p>\n

Intinselated<\/strong>: \/in tin syl ate<\/em>\/ Every year, Aunt Thelma would light the candles, put on some Christmas music, and pour herself a Doctor Wilson before trimming the Christmas tree. At first, every ornament was carefully hung in the perfect spot but, long after midnight (and seven or eight Doctor Wilsons) she would be so intinselated that she would begin hurling ornaments at the tree until she was satisfied it was complete. Then Uncle Stan carried her off to bed. Etymology:<\/em> intoxicated + tinsel Created by:<\/em> hyperborean.<\/p>\n
