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

Sentence: Eric is a redoofus. He doesn*t mean to make the same mistakes over and over. It*s just that he is a very habitual person. Once he has goofed twice, he has developed a reflex. Even when he has time to ponder a decision, he overthinks it and usually corrects the correction back to the error.

Etymology: redo (do something again or differently) + doofus (a stupid person)

Sentence: Darrell was about to take a numbskulligan. Apparently he hadnt been convincing enough on his first try and he thought that by drinking just one more beer- he might just convince one of the fine ladies playing pool to take him home. "Alright, Gals!" Darrell staggered back over to the pool table. "Which one of you fine fillies wants to be my future ex-wife?" Darrell had a long walk home.

Etymology: Blend of "Numbskull" - A stupid person; a nitwit and "Mulligan" - Most simply put, a "do-over."

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
