Logobogus<\/strong>: \/-lo-go-bo-gus-<\/em>\/ Q.: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I heard you broke up with Wendy. What gives?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nA.: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stand that LOGOBOGUS bubblehead. I mean so she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s into the Italian designer labels. OK. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve put up with that. So she can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford to buy the real stuff and has to settle for cheap knock-offs. OK. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve put up with that too. But you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t buy stuff that spells \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGucci\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 with a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and an \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcH\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and then brag about it!!!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

Counterfiat<\/strong>: \/kown ter fee yat<\/em>\/ Frederico Felonio was not just a suave playboy and wannabe mafioso, he actually owned synthetic samples of famous Italian brand names. He had fake Ferrugamo shoes, phoney Fendi bags, artificial Armani suits, plastic Prada products,pukey Pucci,mock Moschino, copy Cavalli and worst he drove a counterFiat. Many would think he was an imitation Italian or worse a Soprani Soprano… he tried to get out, but they kept pulling him back in! Etymology:<\/em> Counterfeit (make a copy of with the intent to deceive; not genuine; imitating something superior) & Fiat (Fiat S.p.A., an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino: Italian Automobile Factory of Turin), is an Italian automobile manufacturer, engine manufacturer, financial and industrial group based in Turin in the Piedmont region) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Mockshock<\/strong>: \/m\u00c3\u00a4ksh\u00c3\u00a4k<\/em>\/ In a major case of mockshock, Hannah found that the fabuloss designer top she bought from a road-side vendor was not what it was purported to be. The first time she washed it, it virtually dissolved. It must have been made of opulint. Etymology:<\/em> mock (not authentic or real) + shock (a sudden upsetting or surprising event or experience) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
