I like your word! The onomatopoeia of the 'cisscisssorise' of it is awesome! The play on those two words is very clever. I think you could give this word a few more daffynitions ... than the one it was made up for ... or the one you gave ... like: cutting off the narcissist before he made you gag on his ego! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 15:10:00
