Verboticisms

Pronunciation: justih-FLONT-ih-coe-st (justiflauntecoaster,justiflauntecoasted)

Sentence: Heidi just KNEW she shouldn't have come this way. The meat in her fridge was turning green faster than this traffic signal. There were no other cars on the road at this time of night. Perhaps the red light was broken, and would NEVER turn green before someone pulled up behind her and started blowing their horn. There must be some kind of buried cable that senses how many motorists are here. Heidi decided to JUSTIFLAUNTECOAST slowly into the intersection...just a little further...now she was directly beneath the light and couldn't even see it...It COULD be green now...Well, Heidi was halfway through the light anyway, so she might as well FLOOR it. A mile down the road, Heidi uttered a twisted laugh at her own timidity. She had JUSTIFLAUNTECOASTED several minutes off her trip home. HA HA HA! She accelerated into the inky night, her smug satisfaction interrupted only by the flashing red lights in the rearview mirror....THINK FAST! Hang up the cell phone!

Etymology: JUSTIFy+fLAUNT+COAST=JUSTIFLAUNTECOAST.....JUSTIFY:to show a sufficient lawful reason for an act done, to prove or show to be just, right, or reasonable;Middle English justifien, from Anglo-French or Late Latin; Anglo-French justifier, from Late Latin justificare, from Latin Justus.....FLAUNT:to treat traffic laws contemptuously;perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse flana to rush around.....COAST:roll down a slope,proceed in neutral gear;Middle English cost, from Anglo-French coste, from Latin costa rib, side; akin to Old Church Slavic kostĭ bone.

Driving barefoot is illegal in New Jersey. Another reason to move elsewhere. - metrohumanx, 2008-10-30: 13:43:00

Mustang Sally rocks! - metrohumanx, 2008-10-30: 13:52:00
