Dejampoo
Created by: wordmeister
Pronunciation: dA-jam-poo
Sentence: Marty closed eyes under the shower, and in a state of dejampoo, reached down to grab the bottle. You'd think the odd shape would have warned him. No. He twisted it open.

Marty is now a very bleached blonde.
Etymology: deja+shampoo
