\"Why<\/p>\n

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

Duglistfir<\/strong>: \/dug list fur<\/em>\/ The town fathers had ordered a large evergreen to be planted in the main square, so that it may be decorated each Christmas Season as the “First Tree”. A huge Douglas Fir had been imported from the West and although healthy and full, it had a definite lean to it. They nicknamed it the DuglistFir. At first people laughed at the Leaning Tree, but miraculously on Christmas Eve it had straightened out and stood erect. The people were amazed until they realized that this change was inevitable. The town in question was not called Viagra Falls for nothing! Etymology:<\/em> Dug (created by digging); List (lean or tilt to one side) & Fir (any of various evergreen trees of the genus Abies; chiefly of upland areas, popular as a Christmas Tree)and word play on Douglas Fir (tall evergreen timber tree of western North America having resinous wood and short needles)

Christmasculated<\/strong>: \/kris-mas-kyuh-leyt-ed<\/em>\/ During our annual neigbourhood caroling, John’s six eggnog and rum completely christmasculated him and it took two carolers to drag him around from house to house.<\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> Christmas + emasculated (to be deprived of strength, or vigor; to be weakened)<\/p>\n

Tannenbum<\/strong>: \/taninb\u00c9\u2122m<\/em>\/ No matter what it looks like in the lot, no matter how many ways he inspects them, Charlie*s yearly choice of a Christmas tree turns out to be a tannenbum slouching in the corner like an elf who*s had too much egg nog. Even the ornaments seem to droop on the tree rather than hang proudly. Etymology:<\/em> tannenbaum (German for fir tree\/Christmas tree) + bum (a lazy or worthless person) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Slantaflaws<\/strong>: \/slant-a-flaws<\/em>\/ Finding a tree without slantaflaws, one that is perfect and straight, is hard when so many need slantabras to keep them from falling prostrate. We need to find one with a slantaclause — one that comes with a guarantee that if our tree gets the slantablahs we can come and exchange it for free. Etymology:<\/em> slant: incline or bend from a vertical position + flaw: an imperfection Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n
