Dishfulthinking
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: DISHFUHL-thingk-ing
Sentence: Roxie planned to impress Bob's new boss by cooking for him a meal fit for a god. But the evening quickly turned into a noshtradamian nightmare, when Roxie, following the recipe given to her by her best friend, added spam rather than ham to the dish. The anticipated ambrosia became in a minute a shambrosia, leaving Roxie, to wonder whether she had been the victim of gastronimical gall or simply of a careless case of "cordon blur". When Bob arrived home he found her in front of the microwave, quickly trying to heat-up a meal labelled "Feast in Five Minutes." It looked liked a cesserole, made from the flotsyum you'd find in a fridgeridoo: it was all desperate dishfulthinking.
Etymology: Blend of DISH: n. The food served in a dish; hence, any particular kind of food, especially prepared food; as, a cold dish; a warm dish; a delicious dish. "A dish fit for the gods." --Shak. & WISHFUL THINKING –n. interpretation of facts, actions, words, etc., as one would like them to be rather than as they really are; imagining as actual what is not.
