Dogmatomia
Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: DAWG-MUH-TOE-MEEE-UH
Sentence: Mickey was very proud of her DOGMATOMIA.

The problem is, nobody knew what statement she was trying to make.... besides "go away".
Etymology: DOGMA+TOMIA... DOGMA- a strongly held belief not to be questioned... -TOMIA-Greek suffix meaning to cut or shave...

Alternative pronunciations make me think of "compulsion to move the body in time to music" and "an example from or fleeting moment in the life of a rodent". As such, the word kicks ass and gets my vote. - Bulletchewer, 2007-05-02: 16:49:00
Nice! - HubbMU, 2007-05-03: 12:50:00

Primpilgate
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: PRIM-Pil-geyt
Sentence: Cincinnati: the city of curly hair; pilosophy: only 59% original; fuzznick, scores of google-hits there, too; hairmony, - not a bad word, but does it fit the definition? What about a platterpilar: might be a bit of a bad hair day when "she" turns into a butterfly. Think I'll have to settle for primpilgate: it's about the best, and most original, I can come up with. Phew, it's been a tough week verbotomising.
Etymology: Blend of PRINK: preen, prettify, prink; PILOSE: hair, hairy and PROMULGATE: make publicly known"

That picture is so disturbing on so many levels.
mplsbohemian - 2007-05-02: 11:01:00
Um, oy, that must have come off so transphobic. :\
About the picture... I have received a suggestion that this young lady's allegiances are less than clear, so I have prepared an alternative portrait. Please see: Being Clear About our Allegiances. Thanks ~ James
Jabberwocky - 2007-05-02: 12:59:00
Yikes!! the options are even more disturbing - pretty soon she'll look like Chewbacca
purpleartichokes - 2007-05-02: 13:26:00
OMG! It's an American Hairwolf in Toondon! (Or perhaps she has a hairmone problem.)
wordmeister - 2007-05-02: 16:30:00
Chewytobacca? I wonder what JediJawa thinks of that?
Bulletchewer - 2007-05-02: 16:45:00
Always love stirring up debate, but credit's due the artist. For some strange reason forgotten in a dream, I only ever thought of this definition applying to the male of the species...
wordmeister - 2007-05-02: 17:26:00
It appears as if this wampeter definitely needs a waxing!
