Verboticisms

Created by: ErWenn

Pronunciation: /ˈnʊdʒˌwɪŋk/ The first vowel is the short "oo" sound (ʊ) as in "book" or "put", not the long "oo" sound (u) in "boot" or "boob" and not the short "u" sound (ʌ) in "butt" or "buck".

Sentence: He was such a nudgwink that he couldn't pass any coupling of two even vaguely round objects without making boobie jokes. Melons, hills, buildings, even the Os in the Google logo were fair game to him. When he finally told us that he was gay, nobody was surprised.

Etymology: nudg(e) + wink, from the "Candid Photography" sketch in the episode "How to Recognize Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away" of the television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Reminiscent of Yiddish "nudnik" - a persistently dull pest.

Very original etymology and verboticism! Even more original is your pronunciation ... Did you boobytrap our tongues? (again I'm very red faced and roaring with laughter). Great sentence, too! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-12: 11:56:00

Pronunciation: yoo-fim-mass-tur

Sentence: Harold considered himself a euphemaster despite the fact that his lack of tact during delivery made him a mere innuendolt. When an opportunity to ply his trade arose, he'd get visibly excited, gently slide a set-up into the conversation, come around the back-door to the punchline, and then forcefully cram the innuendo down everyones throat with a sudden eruption. The awful joke would leave a lump in the assembled party's throat, but Harold gave them no time to swallow the gag, as he quickly thrust terrible pun after awful entendre into their slack-jawed maws. He would then sit back, beaded sweat on his brow, swollen with pride, and spent from the effort.

Etymology: euphemism - substitution of a non-offensive phrase for an offensive one, usually to produce indirect humor, master - at the top of one's profession; innuendo - a veiled allusion often used to reference the obscene or profane, dolt - a stupid person
