Words Up 2: The Rewording
After adding so much fab to the world's vocab in last year's original Words Up article, I've been swarmed with calls from eminent etymologists and cunning linguists asking for more. Ever on the side of satisfying the masses of Base Campians, I present a late summer spawning of new and original words to keep your verb-holes busy.
68 - A sexual position where you do me and I owe you one.
Apocallipsis - A pause in a sentence to add tension or drama right before really bad news is delivered. As in "I've got your diagnosis right here...it's hepatic lipidosis." or "The 2004 election results are in...".
Asteroisk - The '*' symbol put next to baseball records that were set by players using steroids.
Cocky Locky - Swaggering away from your vehicle and hitting the auto-lock without looking back.
Conversatiated - The point in a relationship when you want to get down to some serious boning, but have to be content with more polite talking and discussion of feelings, emotions, blah, blah, blah.
Definitional Dyslexia - A common speaking disorder occurring when opposite words mean the same thing. Such as when bad equals good. Or if something is cool, it's also hot. Also results when huge fat dudes are called 'Slim'.
Earballing - The act of describing sound with adjectives reserved for things with a physical presence. Such as "That new Il Divo track sounds a bit too heavy. But if Simon Cowell likes it...". (An earballer can also be identified by repetitive use of the phrase "You see what I'm saying here?")
Irritable Vowel Syndrome - A condition developing from languages that contain too few vowels. Most commonly found among scholars of ancient Hebrew or in Eastern European countries too poor to afford them. Symptoms of IVS include an increased craving for vodka, chain-smoking and excessive hair growth among women. First discovered by Dr. Ymr Zchlovskyllcyz.
Muffintop - Roll of fat sticking out above too tight low-rise jeans. (See fig. 36D)
 fig. 36D - muffintop
Nun-sequitur - Crazy stuff nuns told me in catechism class that didn't follow from any sort of logic or evidence. See also responses to "Who created God?" and "Were there dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden?"
Sasquatchentennial - When Bigfoot turns 150.
Sissyphus - Someone who is afraid to try again and again.
Telepathetic - A really bad psychic.
