Nossistance
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: no sis tans
Sentence: When Dick got his, you know, name-organ, stuck in his zipper, well that Jane was nossistance at all. Her aid was not only not impeckerable, it left a track on his manhood forever.

He was a highly regarded Member of Parliament, after all. See Dick not run again...
