Boy, howdy, can I ever relate to that! - Sed8ed, 2007-03-09: 05:00:00

I guess they were dishinclined to do the washing up... - Discoveria, 2007-03-09: 05:30:00

Great Word!! Between your 'dishpute' and my 'dishcord' and Purple's 'dishagreement' there's a lot of broken china. - Stevenson0, 2007-03-09: 09:16:00

China can be expensive to replace. Better to use everyday dinnerwar. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-09: 09:27:00

During the kitchencounterattack, there was a dishagreement about the dishpute which caused much dishcord, but the dishsoapopera prevented further sinkosis. - Stevenson0, 2007-03-09: 09:33:00

Dishonesty is the root cause, but I dishapprove of dishipating responsibility. Otherwise everyone ends up dishappointed. - Alchemist, 2007-03-09: 09:58:00

what a dishaster - Jabberwocky, 2007-03-09: 10:34:00

Yes, quite dishturbing. I think this is what is referred to as a mental dishorder. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-09: 11:15:00

Mental dishorders need to be treated with pantrydepressants, but after that it's best to remain dishpassionate until the washing up has been complated. - Discoveria, 2007-03-09: 12:16:00

I sudspect that there is a dishproportionate amount of soapoforic information being disheminated here. - Alchemist, 2007-03-10: 12:39:00

Pronunciation: dish-crep-an-cy
