Pregerr<\/strong>: \/preg\u00c9\u2122r<\/em>\/ The newest memo from the head office said that cashiers should find some way to compliment each customer, whether that be their clothing, their hair or jewelry. Bill was anxious to be the first to get on the company bandwagon but only succeeded in putting his sizable foot in his mouth. In congratulating the next person in line on an upcoming maternity, he offered up the ultimate pregerr. The man he was talking to was not even slightly amused. Etymology:<\/em> pregnant (having a child or young developing in the uterus) + err (be mistaken or incorrect; make a mistake) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Pregnonsee<\/strong>: \/preg-non-see<\/em>\/ Jack’s biggest gaffe happened when he congratulated his boss’s wife on her pregnancy, but it was a pregnonsee. Etymology:<\/em> pregnancy: to be pregnant + non: not + see Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Erroraparent<\/strong>: \/er or ap per rant<\/em>\/ Trust Richard Dufus to say to the boss’ wife at a party that she looked pregnant, when she wasn’t. You could always count on him to make an erroraparent comment. He only ever opened his mouth to change feet. As if that remark did not endear him enough, he spied a person with lots of make-up, jewellery, a fancy wig and gaudy outfit on his way to the bar. When he asked the boss’ mother what her Drag Queen name was and which drag bar she worked in, he found himself looking for another line of work… Etymology:<\/em> Error (mistake) & A Parent (someone who has offspring)\/ Apparent (clearly apparent or obvious to the mind or senses) & WordPlay on Heir Apparent (an heir whose right to an inheritance cannot be defeated if that person outlives the ancestor) <\/p>\n

To err is human, but not in his case! Cheers & Happy Easter<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notivity<\/strong>: \/noht iv it eeeeeeee<\/em>\/ The news of her notivity was greeted with surprise and many tears. The tears were due to the escape of all the wind which had caused the rumour in the first place Etymology:<\/em> nativity eh… not? Created by:<\/em> galwaywegian.<\/p>\n
