More Top Verboticisms:
(Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)
Mimirkry: /-MIM-urk-ree-/ Cheryl would sometimes sing to herself when listening to her iPod — not loud enough to bother anyone (or so she thought). But when Yvonne, her roommate, would do the same thing but much louder, Cheryl was sure, and out-of-key, it was just so irritating. And since Yvonne and Cheryl liked almost all of the same songs, it was even worse, because it was just a tuneless mimirkry of the same songs Cheryl found herself singing along to. Etymology: Mimicry - the act of mimicking; imitative behavior (from Greek, mimikos "of or pertaining to mimes") + Irk - to irritate, annoy, or exasperate (from Middle English, irken "to grow tired, tire") Created by: Tigger.

When are you going to set a good example so these stupid little brats start talking to us with some respect?!?!" Etymology: Kettle (from the phrase "The Pot calling the Kettle Black") + Nettle (to arouse to sharp annoyance or anger) Created by: TimTheEnchanter.

Vexsimile: /veks-SIM-uh -lee/ "Either I put up with it or I bellyache. And I already know which I will do" She knew she should be more polite to her manager; yet something about his manner and strange choice of obscure words rubbed Roxie up the wrong way. They had been thrown together for one reason only: work, and she knew that they needed to overcome their differences in order to do that properly. So when he rumbled obscurities like, " You're cruppish, fratchy and rassert - do you understand?" "Yes...yes! I understand. And you're hespilled rattletrap is full of caperlash." Roxie would reply, though trembling in fear. It wasn't long before they began to understand one another better, and soon became absolute vexsimiles thereof. In addition, they found out that they had many things in common; including, to their surprize, that they were both Verbotomists!!! Etymology: VEX: irritate, annoy, provoke & SIMILE (as in facsimile): an exact copy. Created by: OZZIEBOB.
