sounds like an acrimonopolyous encounter

My apologies in advance for monikerizing on my fellow Verbotomists. I couldn't think clearly this morning as I still have that damn song stuck in my head.

No doubt that's why you've mistaken Jabberwocky for Alchemist.

Did not! Aw geez, don't mess with me! (... in white satin. Never reaching the end...)

Do bulls have nipples? Let's get into a bulletchew over this one.

Why of course they do, Bulletchewer! Everyone knows that bulls secretly want to be cows, but then again, that may be a lot of nipbull.

Petaj, dude, read again, I have more than one bullet to chew. The voodoo child was right! So technically bulls do have tits (teats=nipples) but are they still useless...? Mahahaha I'm playing with you now.

I've heard "scrapple" used to describe a breakfast dish in the Scranton, PA region of Pennsylvania from a college friend. I'm not sure what type of food that it is though. Still, I like this word!

Sounds like something Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute would eat.

I was looking for a word like this but it eluded me :D

oops, misread that one. Thought it was the nuances of guiltenfreude that were scrappled.
