VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Youturner: /yoo ter ner/ Ted sees Jane. Jane sees Ted. Jane & Ted get married and form a multi-national, international coalition. For many years, Ted added colour to old movies, like “Gone With The Wind” and many others to show the world that the old days were not just in black and white and grey. Ted turnered many heads at the UN and made them see that they could turneround the world. But after Jane and Ted had been married a while, he pulled a Youturner. In the end Ted could not figure out why, if he was right, why he was now left…go after Jane, Ted…Don’t be a Dick! Etymology: U-Turn (complete reversal of direction of travel) & You (Pronoun, second person singular) & Turner (someone who turns; also Ted Turner, a media proprietor who “turned” America onto Buffalo Meat, Cable Vision, CNN, and is a “The Mouth of the South”) Created by: Nosila.

Driversion: /driv – vershun/ Dudley created a driversion for others on the road by putting on turn signals but going straight, stopping when there was no stop sign, or turning right when he was signalling to turn left.

Etymology: drive (operate or control a vehicle), diversion (sending on a course or in a direction different from the planned or intended one) Created by: mweinmann.

I think I know Dudley…followed him home from work a few times.splendiction, 2009-04-25: 12:25:00
Your word, the name “Dudley” and sentence perfectly match the definition.
Zigwag: /zigwag/ Some say that Buddy was affected by being the runt of the litter. Some say he was dropped on his head. Whatever the case, the wiring in his brain is clearly crossed up. He will snarl viciously as he licks your face and in a ugly case of zigwag, will wag his tail happily while he tries to bite your fingers. The only thing that keeps this behavior from being dangerous is the fact that this chihuahua mix is about the size of a large mouse. Etymology: zigzag (a line or course having abrupt alternate right and left turns) + (tail) wag (move or cause to move rapidly to and fro) Created by: artr.
Enigmathick: /enn igg math ik/ her style of driving and dating was a trifle enigmathick, leaving a series of overheated wrecks in her wake as she careered through life. Etymology: enigmatic, thick Created by: galwaywegian.
