Word Verification Balderdash - Feb. 4, 2010

This is a weekly meme hosted by Ryan at Wordsmithonia where you take the verification characters you have to input when commenting on other blogs and make up definitions for them.(Keeping in mind that real words would take the fun out of this).

Here's my list of this weeks "words" and don't be surprised if one day you find them in a dictionary somewhere...ok probably not, but here goes:

chenvi - The psycological term for someone wishing they had Jay Leno's chin. Of late, these diagnoses have been on the decline while there's been a marked increase in the ailment known as conanitis.

nogilist - The job title of the person responsible for disposal of all expired Egg Nog at the end of the holiday season. Nogilists usually end up seeking rehabilitative care come February, as the normal method employed involves mass consumption of the Egg Nog (with no shortage of rum in the mix).

mugnega - The gigantic mug used by the nogilist, an essential tool of their trade. It features a built in straw and miniature refrigeration unit.

swwcalet - The Kenyan equivalent of the skiing chalet. While resembling the Swiss version in form, the function is very different as it is used to store the massive palm nuts for the championship Jackstones tournament. Smaller swwcalet are built around the larger building to house the thousands of International spectors this popular Kenyan game draws.

Word Verification Balderdash - Dec. 31, 2009

cansion - a melding of the term mansion with the phrase "living in a sardine can" it describes a larger than normal apartment in a low rent building. Usually the most sought after units in the buildings.

endextr - The moment when the credits role on the HBO series Dexter (usually a sad moment when you have to wait another week for more)

exedwil - The codecil in a rich man's will dedicated to his former spouses. This usually involves trivial offerings such as toe-jamb, locks of hair or swamp land in Florida. Needless to say these are meant for the ex-wives that had fallen out of favour.

maying - the term to describe any activity done in the month of May.

Word Verification Balderdash - Nov. 26 2009

This is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books where you take the verification characters you have to input when commenting on other blogs and make up definitions for them.

Once again, I've been a bad Balderdashian, having skipped this meme for the last couple of weeks. I finally had to do something about it with all the stickies I had floating around in my purse with these "words" that I thought had great potential. So here goes:

comoutdri - the newest in the informercial line of products that promises to dry your clothes in just 5 minutes, carries the tag line "Like a microwave for your clothing"

flogisenin - 14th century Dutch celebration where criminals were publicly flogged while townspeople danced around poles and ate candied popcorn and apples

referro - a superhero for the 21st century. When all search engines have failed you, you only need to call out to Referro and he'll show up. Then with a few taps on your keyboard, he instantly finds those links you've been frustratingly searching for all day

mershar - a fantastic, mythical creature that looks much like a mermaid but, when agitated, grows a large fin and a menacing set of teeth. Watch out!

chelef - a chef that has had all knives remade to accommodate left-handed chopping

homint - the first in a line of new hygienic products, with the target market being ladies of the evening

Word Verification Balderdash

This is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books where you take the verification characters you have to input when commenting on other blogs and make up definitions for them.

Here are my selections for the week:

sheavo - the unfortunate nickname associated with the newest personal recording device as a result of its odd slim line, pointed shape and its distribution within the jail system (it has been involved in many a jailhouse shanking since being introduced to the market earlier this year).

braiddr - the new super NFL team established with the amalgamation of the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos. These guys are unstoppable!

sonablog - the latest blogging trend where all posts are formatted in Iambic pentameter

The lack of "word" choices I had is in direct proportion to my lack of commenting over the past week; shame on me! In my defense, it's been a rough week but I'll be a commenting fiend next week, I promise ;-)

What great new verification words have you invented this week? Let me know.

Word Verification Balderdash - Oct. 15, 2009

This is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books where you take the verification characters you have to input when commenting on other blogs and make up definitions for them.

I've been skipping it for the past few weeks and have noticed that like myself, Sheila has been neglecting this fun meme, too. Speaking for myself, maybe it's the turn in weather that's made me complacent, but I'm back this week with a vengeance (maybe). Here's hoping we can revive this! {Right, Sheila? Hint, hint;-)}

So my contribution for the week are:

ecoadio - an experimental item using only veiny lettuce as conductors and celery stalks as antennae and other enviro-safe materials to transmit radio waves that will be less harmful to the earth

nonerf - a sad, modern ailment involving the lack of ownership of a Nerf toy (I am a sad victim to said ailment, but you're never too old, right?)

kningos - a dangerous cross breed of kangaroos and dingos, particularly vicious around babies...."the kningos ate my baby"

broperti - dwellings or establishments made for the sole purpose of celebrating brotherhood or more commonly known these days as "bromances"

For other great "words" pop on over to: Wordsmithonia , Alexia's Books and Such, and My World

Word Verification Balderdash (The Thursday Thing)

This is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books where you take the verification characters you have to input when commenting on other blogs and make up definitions for them.

I was going to skip this week; as of this morning I had 4 on my list and it wasn't looking promising. Then I went on a commenting blitz and found I had a bit more to work with, so here goes:

emiater - the robotic invention that was created to shred or eat all of the Emmy nominations received by Susan Lucci when she did not actually win the award (the unsuccessful nominations were in the millions at the time of its creation)

iminabu - chant sung by the Bu tribe, found at the northern most tip of Nunavut, traditionally used during the ceremony of transition from childhood to adult. It is also used to describe the disease that has caused the loss of body parts as a result of the ceremony being performed naked in sub-arctic temperatures.

radicedy - a term used to describe the small groups of radicals that don't believe in working or contributing to society in any normal fashion but always seem to find the funding to travel first class to the next protest and are ready at a moments notice.

ungnsi - African tribal term to indicate the least desirable place in the village, that area where all outhouse drainage's converge

And there you have it! It seems my Balderdash's have all ended up in the ungnsi this week...maybe better luck next week ;-)
Let me know what you think and what you've come up with.

Word Verification Balderdash, week 3

Here's a weekly meme, originated by Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books

Take all those word verifications you get when posting comments on other blogs and make up definitions for them. Here are mine for the past week:

vaket - a valet at 5 star hotels whose sole purpose is the carrying of guests' kites

cacents - a cascading or fading accent, like when someone pretends they are from another country but you notice changes in their voice, the more they speak; particularly used by bar hopping girls with assumed identities to ward off unwanted attention

faramp- 1-the ramp on the far side of the highway, 2- when the amplifier on the teenage kid next door's new stereo gets cranked too far that you can't hear yourself think

derstsb - Welsh word that translates to "that Word Balderdash game is really fun! Thanks Sheila" (there are an astounding number of consonants in Welsh words, have you noticed?)

ovites - an invitation to an outside party

oessec - Latin word meaning "just a sec"

A note to new participants, the more you comment, the more verifications you get which allows you more to work with as well as meeting new people in the blogging world. So, share a comment with me here and post a link on your blog back to me (and as always, props to the creator, see link above.)

Word Verification Balderdash, week 2

Here is my list of this weeks words:

Tallapoosa - 1- Italian slang word for a tall cat, 2-A Lallapalooza like festival for tall people

Defre- (pron. de-free) When you defer a deferment for so long that a payment is no longer necessary

Chists - Alternate term to describe man-boobs

Ossess- the obsessive act of spending Friday to Wednesday each week attempting to define previously undefined verification words for the blogger's Balderdash

This game comes courtesy of Sheila at One Persons Journey through a world of books.

To play along, take the verification words you come across while commenting on other blogs and make up definitions for them. It's a weekly post, so if you're new, start now! Have fun with it (It's harder than it sounds, I think).
