Dogmatomia

metrohumanx

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...

Another Verbotomy Splinterview: Jedijawa's Right-Brain Read about it in the Verbotomy Blog.

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!
