COMMENTS:

I like this verbotomy. In my case, it does not necessarily involve shampooing. I've dumped a hand-full of conditioner on my hand prior to shampooing. More than once. I admit to cosmicshowering. - purpleartichokes, 2007-02-09: 19:39:00

Pronunciation: dA-jam-poo

Sentence: Marty closed eyes under the shower, and in a state of dejampoo, reached down to grab the bottle. You'd think the odd shape would have warned him. No. He twisted it open. You'd think the acrid smell of lemon-ammonia would have alerted him. No. He massaged it into his hair. You’d think that the corrosive power of toilet-bowl bleach etching into his scalp would have stirred him from his reverie. Well, it did actually -- after about five minutes. Marty is now a very bleached blonde.

Etymology: deja+shampoo
