Make up a word, then define it.
Bootlesnoot: /BOOT-el-snoot/ n. The result of a process that changes a simple problem into an intractable and hopelessly confused situation. A bootlesnoot is far worse and wider in scope than a fiasco, a SNAFU, a FUBAR or a cluster fuck.

With the invasion, Iraq has gone from a containable problem to a bootlesnoot.

4. Sinatra-farians
A very, very small group of people who have formed a religion in the manner of the cargo cults of the South pacific. This group lives on an uncharted island in the Caribbean. The object of their veneration is Frank Sinatra. His plane made a quick stop over back in the 50's and, as Frank was known to be very generous on occasion, he left a multitude of gifts. Pork Pie Hats, reggae versions of the best of the Columbia years. It's all there and all good.

It's a replacement for Fuck that my husband and I made up while dating to use around my parents. Like, if I stubbed my toe, I'd yell 'frogle!'

10. I didn't make it up, the Ultimate Warrior did: Destrucity
The Creation of a truce between Destiny and Reality

Destrucity is my approach to the world. My battleplan for living life toward its ultimate; creating an ineluctable bond between what “is”, what I "believe" and what I “ought” to do.

That man is certifiably insane.

Edited on Thu Jan-19-06 11:17 AM by ET Awful
The little butt wiggle that cats do as they anticipate the pounce on their unsuspecting toy mouse (or their buddy cat across the room, or your feet). (and no it wasn't inspired by Bertha's name :P)
