Drasticsplurgery<\/strong>: \/Dras-tik-splur-ger-ee<\/em>\/ When Lorna looked in the mirror she noticed yet another wrinkle appearing, She decided it was time for some drasticsplurgery. She went out and bought huge amounts of really expensive anti-wrinkle cream and as soon she got home she smothered her face with it in the hope that the more she used the younger she would look. Etymology:<\/em> Drastic(having a strong or far reaching effect) + Splurge(ry)(a large or excessive amount, extravagance) = Drasticsplurgery Created by:<\/em> TJayzz.<\/p>\n

Mythelixir<\/strong>: \/mithiliks\u00c9\u2122r<\/em>\/ Mythty may be mythguided or mythtaken but she let mythgivings go and put her faith in the mythticism of the latest mythsteriouth mythelixir she saw on TV. Was she mythled? Perhaps, but it was produced in her home State of Mythithippi. Etymology:<\/em> myth (a traditional story, esp. one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events) + elixir (a magical or medicinal potion) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Oilofhurray<\/strong>: \/oyl of hoo ray<\/em>\/ Madge had wanted her young skin to stay,
\nBut, alas, she showed more lines and spots each day,
\nWhen searching for her fountain of youth,
\nShe knew she had found the truth,
\nThe magic jar called Oilofhurray!
\nWhen she first tried it on her nightly routine,
\nShe was delighted to see a youthful sheen,
\nEach day she used it, she looked not as older,
\nHer attitude and confidence grew more bolder,
\nAt this rate she’d soon be Sweet Sixteen!
\nFor revisited youth one must pay,
\nTo look that young come what may,
\nHer face yes, it grew more juvenile,
\nWhile the rest of her body grew more senile,
\nSoon Madge looked like the Portrait of Dorian Gray! Etymology:<\/em> Oil of Olay (commercial anti-wrinkle product, designed for “mature” skin, to reduce signs of aging like, spots, wrinkles, dark circles, exfoliates, increases glow and gives a youthful look, at least that’s what they told me when I bought it! ) & Hooray (a victory cheer) & Hurry (as in fix it fast!)

and if it didn’t work, it could be Oil of Oy Vey<\/p>\n
