Verbinition

Do you have a great idea for a Verbotomy definition?

Would you like to see it illustrated? And do you want to see a gaggle of words invented to match it?

If you want to share it with us (i.e., you give us permission to use it as we see fit according to our website terms and conditions ), just fill our this form and send it in...

We will respond to all submissions and let you know if, and when, we can verbotomize your definition. Thanks!


 

Proposed Definitions:

DEFINITION: The dissatisfied feeling you get when a song that you don't know the words to gets stuck in your head, and no matter how hard you try you can't remember them. Naturally, no one else ever knows the song lyrics either.
