Mis-spelt the word. Should be hydroplonk. Hydro - water powered. plonk - to be a plonker. Worried that he would dry out completely the hydroplonker persistently pursed for hydro power. - trueblue147, 2008-02-21: 19:43:00

Is hydroplonk related to hydroplonic? Good one! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 20:39:00

You might like to know there's an 'edit' button at the bottom before 'comments and points' ... and early on there's a 'change spelling' button too. Hope this helps you. - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 20:42:00

Pronunciation: /uh-KWAIR-ee-ass/

Sentence: Lisa carried that stupid water bottle with her everywhere — even when they went out for lunch. Carl told her, "I'm sure they have Coke or tea here, Lisa. You don't need to bring your own drink." Lisa replied, "My body needs water to stay hydrated. I am an Aquarius, you know." Rolling his eyes, Carl thought to himself, 'You mean an Aquariass, don't you?'

Etymology: Aquarius - eleventh sign of the zodiac; the Water Bearer (Latin literature, "water carrier") + ass - a stupid, foolish, or stubborn person (from Old English, assa "donkey")

Wonderful pun ending! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:08:00

love the sentence - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:32:00

A beautiful pun. I'm surprised more people haven't voted here, but with the downfall of civilization and all, I suppose it's possible. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 19:55:00

You're so right Maxine! Until I thought about it half the day ... I missed the 'ought' in twat ... even though I read the pronounciation several times! Great blending and pun on H2ought, galwegian ... not only your sentence, but your verbot had a great ending and devserved more of a vote! Brilliant! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:00:00

Perhaps if the etymology had read haitch too ought ... More of us would have caught on ... or caught on sooner! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:13:00
