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

Likenessmonsters<\/strong>: \/lyke ness mon stirs<\/em>\/ Young Bonnie was a canny lass. She was gorgeous and knew it. She threw it in the faces of all her suitors, playing one against another….Angus, Jock, Duncan and Alistair. When the lads met for a pint in their local and started comparing notes, as only lads do, they discovered she had fooled them all with her beauty and need for acknowledgement of her famed vanity. She had left no mirror ungazed upon, no window unlooked at and no other shiny surfaces unobserved. That is when they decided that Bonnie, not Nessie, became all the Likenessmonsters of their lonely lives. Etymology:<\/em> Likeness (picture consisting of a graphic image of a person or thing;similarity in appearance or character or nature between persons or things); Loch Ness Monsters (large aquatic animal supposed to resemble a serpent or plesiosaur of Loch Ness in Scotland, plural: more than one)

Windowcopping<\/strong>: \/winn doh kop ping<\/em>\/ She frequently went windowcopping on the High street. People wondered why someone with the vital statistics of a famished greyhound would spend so much time checking out the cream buns every lunchtime. Etymology:<\/em> window shopping, copping a glance Created by:<\/em> galwaywegian.<\/p>\n

Windowcopping…I at first thought that was paneful police…what an arresting idea!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Imagic<\/strong>: \/imaj – ik<\/em>\/ Penelope was mesmerized. She kept sneaking peeks at herself and she looked better than she thought. It was imagic. Her vanity skewed her reflection so much that she did not even know how she really looked —and perhaps that was a blessing. Etymology:<\/em> image, magic Created by:<\/em> mweinmann.<\/p>\n

Good reflection on you, mweinmann!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stealthcheckout<\/strong>: \/stellth-check-out<\/em>\/ Jill enjoyed working the stealthcheckout line at the FoodMart. She could see her reflection on the register screen and knew at all times just how perfect her hair looked and whether or not her lipstick needed refreshed. Best of all, no one really knew that she was checking herself out because it appeared as though she was working hard. Etymology:<\/em> wordplay on self-checkout: an alleged way to avoid long lines at the grocery store (not true), which is really an excuse for not hiring enough people to assist customers — stealth: being furtive or covert + checkout: to look at or inspect thoroughly Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n
