Nosila’s beertrayal is based on an embarassingly true fact

DEFINITION: v. To share a true but extremely embarrassing story about a close personal friend at the worst possible time. n. A moment of ill-timed honesty.

In fact, before she knew her husband...

VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Beertrayal: /beer tray al/ Sonia was the bridesmaidzilla from hell.
A quiet friend whom the bride, Terry, had confided in since they met in high school, had changed personas when she imbibed in copious amounts of beer or other refreshments. After the stress of the wedding day and all the demands placed on her, Sonia had let loose at the reception. In Vino Veritas indeed…in beer is beertrayal, in champagne is pain, in rye is awry, in rum is rumbled, in brandy is randy and in cider is insider inside her!

She grabbed the mike and wrapped her mouth around the end of it (was his name Mike, she could not remember?). She blabbed the usual sophomoric tittle-tattle about Terry being the school bike and then to the utter shock of everyone, especially the poor groom (a Baptist Pastor), she uttered the words that the bride had never hoped to hear again. Before she passed out on stage, exposing to the guests the fact that she wore no underpants, Sonia blabbed that Terry had had gender reassignment surgery…yes, the bride really used to be a groom! Etymology: beer (one of many alcohol beverages when taken in excess can loosen the tongue, shed inhibitions and lose discretion) & betrayal (to reveal unintentionally,to fail or desert especially in time of need, to disclose in violation of confidence or to lead astray) Created by: Nosila.

Wow, now that’s scandalous! Excellent word.

wordmeister, 2008-06-04: 12:52:00
Great word! Combines the cause with the result

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-04: 14:50:00
Yikes!!

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-04: 18:22:00
Great and entertaining sentence.

Mustang, 2008-06-04: 20:29:00
Very clever and entertaining!

Tawdrimat: /Taw-DREE-mat/ It was pure pentathol, when the best man, grinning like a cheshire cat, told the wedding guests that he knew the bride when she was Brian – not Brianna. And don’t think that his tawdrimat ended there, as he continued to “wash the dirty linen” in public of the whole bridal party, including that of the “polygamous” priest who married them, yelling: “How many women has he married?” Etymology: TAWDRY: shameful, indecent, base, low, trashy, meretricious; tawdry secret, tawdry motives. LAUNDROMAT: A place where one can wash their “dirty linen” in public. PENTATHOL (sodium pentathol):truth serum Created by: OZZIEBOB.

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-04: 14:53:00
I think you and Nosila must have attended the same wedding.

Mustang, 2008-06-04: 19:41:00
The best man had a veritable laundry list of scores to settle.

Nosila, 2008-06-04: 23:03:00
Great minds think alike, eh? Actually most weddings I find have something like this happen…

Trooble: /troo-ble/ As a parish priest, and the ear of the confessional, reverend Tom was privy to everyone’s dirty laundry. Unfortunately after a glass of wine or two, he would start to trooble, which wasn’t so bad until he starting troobling on the church’s new blog… And so now everyone’s troobles, were googled. Etymology: true + trouble Created by: wordmeister.

Comments on Trooble:

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-04: 15:00:00
In olden days he would have been known as a troobladour.

Mustang, 2008-06-04: 21:55:00
The sacramental wine turned out to be sacrificial.

Nosila, 2008-06-04: 23:00:00
Good word, wm…it reminded me of that episode on Star Trek, The Trooble with Tribbles!

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-05: 23:51:00
fantastic!

Blabomination: /-blab-bom-uh-NAY-shun-/ Susan realized that she should have assigned someone to curb her best friend’s consumption of Fuzzy Navel’s at her wedding reception when Brandi suddenly grabbed the microphone. Her scandalous chronology of Susan’s ex-boyfriends, and her awful breakups with them, was a total blabomination, and was recieved only with shocked silence. Afterward, Susan calmly walked over to the videographer, who had recorded the whole thing, threatened him with violence if didn’t edit that speech out of the wedding video, borrowed a phone and tried to find a number for a Homicide Hotline, if there was such a thing. Etymology: Blab – to reveal indiscreetly and thoughtlessly (back formation from Middle English, blabberen “to talk idly”) + Abomination – a vile, shameful, or detestable action (from Latin, abominatus “shun as an ill omen”) Created by: Tigger.

wordmeister, 2008-06-04: 12:53:00
A blabariuos success!

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-04: 14:56:00
great word

Nosila, 2008-06-04: 22:58:00
Good one, Tigger…I’d have givewn her a punch in the blabdomen!

Nosila’s stylish Regaliac wins on the catwalk of words

DEFINITION: n. A person who likes to dress up and seems to have a different outfit for every occasion. v. To dress up in fancy clothes whenever you go out because you don’t know who you’re going to meet, and you don’t want to get dressed down.

Alright boys, let's start digging!

VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Regaliac: /re gay lee ak/ Marisa was a regaliac for sure. She had an outfit, with accessories, for every mood, occasion, national holiday, season and impulse. To say she was overdressed and over the top would be putting it mildly. For instance, she wore her clotheshorse outfit going to the races;when out shopping, she had a dress made of credit cards all linked together and for a wine-tasting, she had an ensemble made entirely of corks.

Why she had even bought herself an outfit for her own funeral…a stunning little black dress with grave accents and a hat with a horse-drawn cortege around the brim. Hopefully it would still be in style by then! Etymology: regalia (especially fine or decorative clothing)& maniac (an insane person) Created by: Nosila.

Comments on Regaliac:

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-03: 15:12:00
neat ideas for Halloween

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-04: 18:25:00
Top word.

Attiresome: /at-iya-sum/ Judy was the sort who would wear haute couture to the supermarket just in case she bumped into the latest big brother ‘celebrity’.

Her attitude was becoming increasingy attiresome to her friends and family. Etymology: attire – clothing;
tiresome – boring, tedious Created by: Rutilus.

Comments on Attiresome:

bookowl, 2008-06-03: 15:14:00
guess you’re not a sex in the city fan

Mustang, 2008-06-03: 19:34:00
Good one.

Fashionabelle: /fash-en-a-bell/ Naomi hired three wardrobe mistresses to take care of the outfits she needed as a fashionabelle. One of their key duties was to track how long each item was worn and to retire it to the thrift shop after 10 hours of wear. Etymology: fashionable + elle (supermodel) + belle (of the ball) Created by: petaj.

Comments on Fashionabelle:

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-03: 14:31:00
love it

Clotheswhorese: /cloze-horse/ Cammy Leon was such a clotheswhorese that she had a stable full of every imaginable kind of outfit. Etymology: clotheshorse + well you know (sort of a sequel to wordmeister’s shoohoh) Created by: Jabberwocky.

Comments on Clotheswhorese:

Nosila, 2008-06-03: 23:03:00
She gives me nightmares…

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-04: 18:29:00
Sounds good also as “cloze-SWOR-ese”

Today’s definition was inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker’s crazy hat which she wore to the London premiere of Sex in the City. See: Sarah Jessica Parker’s Hat. ~ James

galwaywegian – 2008-06-03: 06:49:00

The hat was made by another galwaywegian!

Verbotomy – 2008-06-03: 09:44:00
Hey Galway, So you have a hat like that too!! Neat! I assume you always wear it when you’re playing Verbotomy, just to get the creative juices going! ~ James

Shoehilist toes in for the top spot

DEFINITION: v. To compulsively shop for and buy shoes that are stylish, sexy and extremely uncomfortable. n. A person who has an uncontrolled, psychological dependency on impractical shoes.

Did you really spend all our rent money on those shoes?

VERBOTICISMS: (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)

Shoehilist: /shoo-ill-ist/ Tammy was a compulsive shoe collector. She could name a shoe brand at 50 paces. Her shoehilistic tendencies were so strong that she could only afford to eat ramen noodles and live in substandard housing. But man, did she look sylish from the ankles down. Etymology: Shoe + nihilist Created by: pieceof314.

Comments on Shoehilist:

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-02: 13:21:00
She probably had a little neitzsche carved out for all those shoes – very clever

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-02: 22:50:00
Nice word.

Impedicunious: /im-pedi-kew-nee-us/ Sally was so impedicunious that when she finally found herself homeless she was able to build a shelter made entirely of shoes. She even landscaped with shoe trees. Etymology: impecunious (having little or no money) + pedi (to do with the foot) Created by: Jabberwocky.

Comments on Impedicunious:

wordmeister, 2008-06-02: 13:54:00
Love the shoe trees! I’m going to put them in my yard

Mustang, 2008-06-02: 20:46:00
I remember her tootin’ on her shoe horn and her ‘shoe’ fly pie is the best there is.

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-02: 22:50:00
At least she had some shubbbery – funny sentence and good word.

Pradaddiction: /-pra-duh-DIK-shun-/ In order to combat her Pradaddiction, Carrie was sent to a rehab center where the patients were only allowed to wear Crocs, those cheap, ugly, plastic shoes. Luckily for her, after a few days, her co-dependant shopping buddies came up with a plan. They borrowed a utility van, smuggled her out of the rehab center and brought her straight to the mall downtown. ‘No woman could ask for better friends,’ thought Carrie, as rifled through her credit cards to find one that wasn’t maxed-out. Etymology: Prada – a well-known Italian fashion company; designer of clothing and shoes, commonly mentioned in S&TC (originally “Prada Brothers”, founded in 1913 by Mario Prada in Milan) + Addiction – complusive need characterized by obsessive behavior (from Latin, addictus “assigned, surrendered”) Created by: Tigger.

Comments on Pradaddiction:

Tigger, 2008-06-02: 03:27:00
BTW, I’m not in the ‘fashion police’ but I think those Crocs shoes are just about ugly enough to be banned in public… (check out: http://ihatecrocs.com/)

Nosila, 2008-06-02: 23:28:00
I agree…they make everyone’s fett look twice their size, in juicy colours!

Imeldaranged: /Ih – MEL – duh – ranjd/ Gracielda was absolutely imeldaranged, caught up in a compulsion to buy any and every pair of shoes or other footwear that caught her eye.
Etymology: Blend of Imelda – well known shoe nut Imelda Marcos, and deranged Created by: Mustang.

Comments on Imeldaranged:

mikeysfbay, 2008-06-02: 09:03:00
I like how it rolls off the tongue – and makes me chuckle. Nice one!

Jabberwocky, 2008-06-02: 13:18:00
funny

OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-02: 22:47:00

Verbotomy gets in bed with Sex and the City

Attention all female Verbotomists:

It has come to my attention that the most men do not get “Sex and the City“, the once popular TV Series which is just been release as “major” Hollywood extravaganza. I am hoping that perhaps, this is just an education problem. And in an effort to address this knowledge gap, I am proposing we engage ourselves in a Sex and the City Week here at Verbotomy starting on Monday June 2, 2008. That is why I am sending out this emergency call for Sex and the City definitions.

Submit your Sex and The City Definition…

Please start sending in your definitions today, because I have no clue what to do…

Of course if any male verbotomists feel inclined to participate in this creative extravaganza, I have included this instructional video, titled “Sixes and the City“, which gives a quick overview of the whole Sex and the City phenomenon.

Please watch this official video:

I eagerly await and anticipate your missives.

Your humble creative servant

~ James
