COMMENTS:

forgot to weave in "repetitive brain injury", but I'm sure verbotomists are too clever to have arrbeeaye and would have figured it out anyway. - petaj, 2007-06-07: 03:32:00

I somehow assumed the etymology would include something about overeating Arby's and paying for it later. God knows it's impossible not to. - jadenguy, 2007-06-07: 09:11:00

This evokes images of Long John Silver - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-07: 13:37:00

I'm afraid it's baseball season and I only saw "runs batted in". - mplsbohemian, 2007-06-07: 15:18:00

Never heard of Arby's. Sounds like some undesirable franchise we don't need in Australia. - petaj, 2007-06-07: 22:28:00

Pronunciation: DUHH-PLIH-KATE

Sentence: Rosco stepped out of the minimum security correctional facility into the pounding sun.Sitting at the bus stop with his cardboard suitcase, he now had to admit that he might just "suck at life"...After three failed marriages and encounters with every known STD, he began to consider that his past dating choices may not have been the best.Foxy english professors were his weakness,but he also harbored a soft spot for lady charter boat captains,tattooed carny babes, radical Irish lassies, Goth chicks and women in any stage of recovery.But his moment of enlightenment passed like a partial eclipse,and his loneliness overtook him yet again. He would rent a room,hold up a gas station and look up his old flame Babs....Yes, that's the ticket! He was sure she'd take him back, and together they could DUHHPLICATE all the great times they had before he got cirrohsis and she fell off the Harley.Yes! Yes! Rosco would DUHHPLICATE his old life-only this time he wouldn't get caught. A cloud of dust enveloped the inter-city bus as it stopped in front of him,and then he saw her stumble off: the most radiant creature ever to corner the nose ring market....

Etymology: DUH+DUPLICATE DUH:der ofr

Pronunciation: ree bone air

Sentence: Pete Ayr was one absent-minded dude. Since his attention span was zip and he never paid attention to what he was doing, he programmed himself to rebonerr regularly. He always lost keys, forgot what to do and generally spent his days in a vortex of making goofy mistakes, from which he learned nothing. He was not always this way. His distraction was not due to chemical abuse, dementia or stupidity, but more plausibly due to being in love. He had met the woman of his dreams, Jill, and since then his head was in a swirl. His rebonerr was charming but at times annoying to Jill. As a result of his behaviour, she nick-named him Re-Pete Ayr. I guess that was better than being called Fatal Ayr.

Etymology: re (do again); boner (stupid, embarrassing mistake); err (to make a mistake or be incorrect) rhymes with debonair(having a sophisticated charm-NOT!)

There's nothing a dragon likes more than a good sausage sizzle, so it's going to be a tough job! - petaj, 2007-06-07: 08:25:00

mmm, arby's...curse you petaj. i know where i'm going for lunch though! - jadenguy, 2007-06-07: 09:15:00

it sounds like there's no sausage left but barbecued ribs would make a tasty treat - perhaps he could tempt him with a tofoot kebab (oops I meant tofu kebab) - great word galwaywegian - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-07: 10:18:00

It's like that little-known J.R.R. Tolkien apologue, "Where Have All the Aragorn?" - Clayton, 2007-06-07: 18:22:00
