Verboticisms

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: PRIM-Pil-geyt

Sentence: Cincinnati: the city of curly hair; pilosophy: only 59% original; fuzznick, scores of google-hits there, too; hairmony, - not a bad word, but does it fit the definition? What about a platterpilar: might be a bit of a bad hair day when "she" turns into a butterfly. Think I'll have to settle for primpilgate: it's about the best, and most original, I can come up with. Phew, it's been a tough week verbotomising.

Etymology: Blend of PRINK: preen, prettify, prink; PILOSE: hair, hairy and PROMULGATE: make publicly known"
