Sentence: Don't you feel sorry for the water bottle bearers and their constant need to be suckers? Poor bottlesaps!

COMMENTS:

Too easy, I know. - ErWenn, 2008-02-21: 00:08:00

Maybe it was easy for you, but I'd have never thought of it! When I read it I erupted in loud laughter! You have taken gross humor to new heights ... or should I say watery depths! Kudos for your extraordinary sentence and an ingenious verbot! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 02:17:00

how much water would it take to hydro fill a yak? very nice! - galwaywegian, 2008-02-21: 06:22:00

Splendiferous verboticism!! - Mustang, 2008-02-21: 07:20:00

The "too easy" was referring to the word. I've always been a bit of a liquiphiliac (though my drink of choice used to be soda, before my dentist showed me what I was doing to my walle-I mean teeth), so I've had years to refine that fish/horse joke; if it's not funny, I need a new hobby. - ErWenn, 2008-02-21: 21:25:00

Excellent. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-22: 00:11:00

Wish you had finished and given us a sentence and etymology. Your verboticism is good, but it would be better if you polished it off with the rest! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:04:00
