TT #59

Thirteen Sniglets*
Part One
*a word that's not in the dictionary, but should be

I'm sure you've heard of the Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. Here are some more words in the same vein:

Accordionated (ah kor' de on ay tid) - adj. Being able to drive and refold a road map at the same time.

Aeropalmics (ayr o palm' iks) - n. The study of wind resistance conducted by holding a cupped hand out the car window.

Alponium (al PO nee um) - n. (chemical symbol: Ap) Initial blast of odor upon opening a can of dog food.

Burgacide - n. What you call the desperate action of a hamburger leaping to its death through the holes in the Bar-B-Q grill.

Coinophony (koin'ŭ-fō'nē)(n.) Annoying pocket concerts that people make when they jingle keys and loose change around.

Drainchild - n. Not all brainchildren work well so we need a word for a bright idea that drains resources without benefit.

Eastroturf (ee' stroh terf) n. - The artificial grass in Easter baskets.

Ellacelleration: The mistaken belief that repeatedly pressing the elevator button will make it go faster

Expressholes (eks PRES holz) - n. People who try to sneak more than the "eight items or less" into the express checkout line.

Fetchplex (fech' pleks) - n. State of momentary confusion in a dog whose owner has faked throwing the ball and palmed it behind his back.

Frisbatarianism - (n.), The belief that, when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck there.

Greedling (gree' dling) v. - Pretending to read the inscription on the birthday card when you really jus t want to know how much the check is for.

Hawaska - In an atlas, the rectangular box which contains Hawaii and Alaska and is located just off the coast of Arizona.

from Starrlight: fauxcabulary. I love it!
from Ann: kibblemonoxide- the noxious gas you smell when face to face with a cat who's just eaten.
from Babystepper: Frust: That line of dirt that you can't ever get into the dust pan with the broom.

Great list! loved the Alponium. Of course their needs to be a feline equivalent. Perhaps- kibblemonoxide- the noxious gas you smell when face to face with a cat who's just eaten. Happy TT.

Did you make all these up yourself? They are fantastic! My dog is often in a Fetchplex state, because she never gets it when I do that. LOL
And I love #11, although I know I will have forgotten the word as soon as I leave your page...

ROFL! I loved this and read it out loud to my hubby. My favorites were Burgacide and Ellacelleration, but I loved 'em all. :-D

I can't pick a favorite, but I'll be reading them to my family when I get home from work! LOL
BUT I assure you that Hawaska is not, in fact, off the coast of Arizona. I lived there for 9 years and off our coast was California, lol.

Oh, and the "fauxcabulary" is another awesome word!

Oh, thank you! These were so funny! I like 5. People playing with their pocket change makes me insane.

Do I have to pick a fave? They're all so freaking hilarious! I've never heard of Bozone before, but you can bet I'm going to start using it!
Thanks for the laugh...
