Kitchenderanged
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: kitchen-dee-ranged
Sentence: Everyone knew not to mess with mom in the kitchen. If she got mad whatever was in her hand, a pot, spoon or spatula, became an implement of household law enforcement.

We decided that it was much better to kiss the cook than to kid her.
