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

Vermista<\/strong>: \/verh-mihs-ta<\/em>\/ After it was exposed that Vermista was not the latest version of the world’s largest computer operating system, its creators restructured and began growing the herb, Wormwood, and producing a remedy for intestinal worms they called Vermouthsta. When that failed they decided to produce a red dye and began breeding and then drying the bodies of the wood louse. They called it Vermilionista. After that failure, they thought about opening an Italian restaurant specializing in what they would call Vermicellista. But, alas, in the end they would not repent and on the Judgement Day they were sent to the place where “their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” Etymology:<\/em> From VERMIS, the Latin for worm.

Metamorviruse<\/strong>: \/met ah more veer ruse <\/em>\/ Of course, today being April 1, it is the day for the conficker virus to mutate and do its thing. No matter what we discover today, it will go down in history. Will it do so as one of the greatest April Fool’s Day Johoax (jokes\/ hoax) of this new century? Or for being the worst computer terminal illness ever caused by a metamorviruse? Etymology:<\/em> METAMORPHOSIS – to undergo marked or complete change. VIRUS – a corrupting, damaging computer program. RUSE – a clever plot or dirty trick that will deceive and take advange of others. Created by:<\/em> silveryaspen.<\/p>\n

Great word….best of the day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hackmasker<\/strong>: \/hak + mask + ur<\/em>\/ When I brought up today’s word in Verbotomy, I encountered a virulous hackmasker. I saw that I had to enter my credit card number to continue playing my beloved Verbotomy and if I did not, my hard drive would be immediately erased. What was this world coming to? But after performing scans for malware and trying to find the process that was driving this pesky “pop-up”, I finally realized that it was just a mask for a real hack…. Etymology:<\/em> Hack (fix a computer program piecemeal until it works) Hacker (In common usage, hacker is generic term for a computer criminal, often with a specific specialty in computer intrusion), Masker (One who wears a mask; one who appears in disguise) Also play on “taskmaster” (one who keeps others on task to complete a mission or project)except in this case, it is a masked hacker….without a pal named Tonto.

Metamorphasses<\/strong>: \/met\u00c9\u2122m\u00c3\u00b4rfas\u00c9\u2122z<\/em>\/ When Judy went to college there was a group she referred to as the metamorphasses. This consisted of a bunch who was willing to jump into any new cause or trend. They would be environmentalists one day, guns-rights activists another. They could stage a food fight this week and collect goods for the food bank the next. Whatever rally or social gathering that was going on, they were there especially if it meant missing classes or if there was food to be had. Etymology:<\/em> metamorphosis (a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one) + asses (stupid, irritating, or contemptible people) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Did my verbotomy inspire you to create this one? Imitation is the highest form of flattery. You flatter a lot of people quite often.<\/p>\n

I usually read the definition to ponder as I walk my dogs. I then look at the ones that are already submitted. Occasionally someone has something with a similar root word. I can’t say I’ve been inspired by someone else’s word. If the approach is too close, I’ll head back to the thesaurus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
