UPDATE: Petty Witter's contributions to the list:
Much harder than it sounds but I had hours of fun only to come up with the following ..........
Crimate: A monkey with a criminal record.
Fate Mail: Correspondence sent by astrologers.
Manxiety: A mental health condition suffered by self obsessed males.
Penopausal: Writers Block as suffered by some female authors of a certain age.
Like! I will definitely use 'manxiety' in the future, and I may also appropriate 'penopausal' though I'm past the sell-by date.
I cannot overstate how PERFECT is that, um, Number 2. Beam me up, Scotty: this planet is overrun w/ Ignoranuses!
ReplyDeleteNow, off to come up w/ a few clever Foreploys.... ;-)
Yes, JCF, No 2 is good. I like 13, 14, and 16, too.
ReplyDeleteA great idea Grandmere, I do hope you don't mind my pinching it and playing along on my blog.
ReplyDeletePlease pinch, Petty.

Petty, only a few, but you've come up with fine specimens. My favorite is Manxiety. I will save that one for use at an appropriate time. I may use Penopausal, too, when I'm lazy about blogging, although I'm well past the age. Thanks for sending your list.
ReplyDeleteNeal thought you would appreciate manxiety.
