Verboticisms

Pronunciation: kant ver say shun

Sentence: With Trish, it was hour after hour of garrulous cantversation. Pierre could never get a word in and Trish barely took a deep breath. Good looking and sexy she was, yes, but vapid and self-absorbed, he wondered why he stayed with her. It was not as if she said anything worthwhile. It was always the trivial verbal diarrhea and intellectual constipation that annoyed Pierre the most. The sad part was that she paid him so little attention that she did not even realize he could not speak English! Quel dommage!

Etymology: Cant (insincere talk;contraction for can not...unable to) & Conversation ( the use of speech for informal exchange of views or ideas or information etc;a dialogue between 2 parties) Quel dommage is French for what a pity!

Pronunciation: BLEET-sink

Sentence: Generica was a delightful lassie who was driven to expound at length in clipped sentences on the excruciating details of her alpine life. Her wooly logic did not penetrate, but only grazed the skulls of those who inexplicably flocked to bask in her aura. Shorn of all restraint, her radiant soul and genuine sincerity was so endearing that you cud only hope to drive in a word wedge when she stopped ruminating to catch her breath. Most people just became BLEATSINKS for Generica's rambling monologues, sheepishly absorbing the airy earnestness of whatever it was she was talking about. I became a BLEATSINK myself, held fast by her steady gaze while the evening passed with the speed of a glacier. I might have stomped out had I been younger, but it's difficult to resist such charms- especially when you're pasture prime.

Etymology: BLEAT+SINK=BLEATSINK-A takeoff on heatsink (a device that absorbs or dissipates unwanted heat ) BLEAT:to make the natural cry of a sheep or goat, to utter a similar sound,to talk complainingly or with a whine,to utter in a bleating manner, blather; Middle English bleten, from Old English blǣtan;akin to Latin flēre to weep........SINK:penetrate,absorb, to become opressively known or felt; Middle English, from Old English sincan; akin to Old High German sinkan to sink.

Pronunciation: why n sy ded

Sentence: Every day Jill told her troubles to her cat, Sigmeownd Freud. She talked and moaned and complained and he just listened.

Etymology: Whine (moan, complain) & One-sided (where only one person does the talking and the other the listening)

Pronunciation: em see yam mer

Sentence: Stanley was almost comatose listening to Andrea's endless prattle about her day at work. "And then, you know that Linda I told you about in accounting, well, that snob never said Good Morning to me and like, what did I ever do to her? And then Josh, the cute electrician told me I had nice hair and like Linda was sooo jealous..." Poor Stanley, he was a captive audience, being an inside cat in a one bedroom apartment, jailed with a self-involved airhead like Andrea. Oh sure, she fed him, cleaned his stink box and rubbed him on the chin like he liked, but seriously. How much more of being emceeyammer could he take? Granted, he slept 16 hours a day and therefore snored through most of her tirades, but she needed one of her own species. Maybe he'd sign her up on-line for a singles club. In his own lethargic manner, Stanley was getting fed up. Oh no, here she comes again...it's yammer time!

Etymology: Emcee (MC or Master of Ceremonies, Ringmaster, Host) & Yammer (to whine endlessly) & MC Hammer (Performer in the late 80's and early 90's who's most most famous song was "U Can't Touch This" and was famous for baggy Hammer Pants.)
