>Subject: WORD LOVERS, UNITE!

>Once again, The Washington Post published its yearly contest in which readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for various words (& leave it to the Post to search for new meanings).
And the winners are...
1. Coffee (n.), a person who is coughed upon.
2. Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.
3. Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
4. Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.
5. Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent.
6. Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown.
7. Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.
8. Gargoyle (n.), an olive-flavored mouthwash.
9. Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller
10. Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline.
11. Testicle (n.), a humorous question on an exam.
12. Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified demeanor assumed by a proctologist immediately before he examines you.
13. Oyster (n.), a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddish expressions.
14. Pokemon (n), A Jamaican proctologist.
15. Frisbeetarianism (n.), The belief that, when you die your Soul goes up on >the roof and gets stuck there.
16. Circumvent (n.), the opening in the front of boxer shorts

Are you sure this is a new one? I've heard of them all before from many different sources (some at least in joke form) except "frisbeetarianism", which, after a quick look, is attributed to George Carlin. I wonder if he submitted it.

10. Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline

Balderdash: a constantly evolving, tsuwmized wordgame played mostly by hogs and hogettes (and one woeful voice from Kiwiland).

>one wonderful voice from Kiwiland.

I have very kindly corrected your spelling mistake, Juan.

Eeyor --is that how the winnie the pooh character's name is spelled?--i am not a WtP fan, so i am unsure, well, the point is, eeyor, is woeful, and still beloved.
maybe Juan intended that exact word.

perhaps you were born on a Wednesday, and it can't be helped?

Boy, howdy. I sure don't see what frisbeetarianism is doing in there. Didn't know it had any other meaning than what is given on the list. Whether or not George Carlin invented it is irregardless.
