Yahoosiery
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: ya hooz yeree
Sentence: Steve Wotsockniak was experiencing washday again and with it, the feeling of utter yahoosiery. Again his trip to the dryer had coughed up one less sock than he had entered into the machine. Somewhere in cybersockspace, another pink argyll was floating around aimlessly, looking for it's mate. Every week, Steve lost a sock in this manner and perhaps those lost soles did it on purpose. Maybe they contacted e-Darn-on-me.com to help them find their real sole mates...socks that shared their dreams and intellectual interests. Luckily Steve was such a nerd, that no one thought it odd that he wore two different socks to work. It was ironic though that he worked at a Help Desk, but could not help himself...
Etymology: Yahoo (search engine on Internet) & Hosiery (socks and stockings and tights collectively)
