Dylanthropologist<\/strong>: \/dil anth ro pol ojist<\/em>\/ His card stated he was a Dylanthropologist, so when Joan kept calling to make an appointment, she would invariably get his answering machine which would either play “It ain’t easy”; “It ain’t me, Babe”; “Lay, Lady, Lay” or “Don’t call me no more, cause I’m knock, knock, knockin’ on Heaven’s Door!”.

Crapitulate<\/strong>: \/crap IT you late<\/em>\/ It was the last straw. Jenny did not care if it was Dennis or his phone that was crapitulating this time, but she was going to emancimate him. He was a Broke Down Engine, and ain’t got no drivin’ wheel! Etymology:<\/em> Crap: somewhat vulgar universal noun used to refer to something that’s substandard (this crap phone has crapped out again!). Capitulate: To give up or in, usually at an inopportune moment. Emancimate: see Monday’s verbotomy. Created by:<\/em> emdeejay.<\/p>\n

Fragmentia<\/strong>: \/fragm\u00c9\u2122nsh\u00c9\u2122<\/em>\/ Alan has an unusual approach to stress. First he will fall apart, go into a tizzy, disintegrate. Then he will conveniently forget that it ever happened. His friends call it fragmentia. They aren’t sure which is worse, the cyclone of chaos that occurs first or being ignored afterward. Etymology:<\/em> fragment (break or cause to break into fragments) + dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
