The Tom Zone Question of the Day
Name three words or phrases you wish you'd coined:
1) Prosti-tot (when parents dress their little girls like whores)
2) Muffin top (the abdominal flesh that squeezes out over the waistband of too-tight hip hugger jeans)
3) Borborygmus (a wonderfully onomatopoeic word for intestinal rumblings and grumblings)
Comments
Diarrhea of the Keyboard: When someone writes and rambles in painfully verbose spurts that seem almost diseased. (That would be me.)
End-User Problems: Used whenever a complaint of malfunction can be blamed on the end user. I.E: "The guy tried to plug in his plasma screen monitor with analog cable. I wrote it up as an End-User Problem."
I hadn't heard of Prosti-tots or borborygmous before. I love 'em!
I first heard it a couple of years ago while I was working p/t at a bookstore. my 20-something-year-old-college-student-coworkers used it all the time in reference to the balancing-on-platform-shoes-and-wearing-belly-shirts-and-short-short-shorts 12-year-old middle schoolers.
i can't think of any off the top of my head, damn it. i hate that.
but if i ever do think of any, i'll definitely have to post them :)
