Gnomemansland<\/strong>: \/NO-manz-land<\/em>\/ Barb thought it was cute to decorate her yard with little plastic statues of Snow White and her dwarf buddies but her neighbors snickered behind her back and had labeled her yard gnomemansland. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of Gnome, man, and land, play on the phrase ‘no mans land’. Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n

Aliceinwonderyard<\/strong>: \/ayl-iss-inn-wun-dur-yaar-d<\/em>\/ Everyone knew Vicki had a horrible case of aliceinwonderyard.

Etymology:<\/em> Alice in wonderland (a popular children’s fantasy book) + yard (that green stuff around some peoples houses) Created by:<\/em> Biscotti.<\/p>\n

Centrollpark<\/strong>: \/sen trol park<\/em>\/ Ivy thought she was a cultivated, worldly person. When she and her sister, Holly, bought a house and started to decorate the large garden with trolls and other garden accessories, Ivy decided to call their home Centrollpark. She had a little sign painted to hang on the gate and her neighbours thought her English country garden decorated with the fairyland characters quite quaint. Eventually though their garden was over-run by gnomes, fairies, flamingos, leprechauns, toadstools, toads, windmills and wells. Then some of their friends started giving the girls plastic pigs in all sizes and colors to add to their motif. The pigs were everywhere. The fish pond became Swine Lake, their toolshed became a sty, the Flamingos became Hamingos and the walk, now a trotter, was a big boar. The plastic porcines threatened to hog every green space in the yard. Sadly the lovely Centrollpark had become Centrollpork! Etymology:<\/em> Central Park (A huge park in Manhattan) & Troll (Scandanavian folklore) a supernatural creature, either a dwarf or a giant) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n
