Twisted Linguistics

zwani.com myspace graphic comments


Nobody would ever believe how yesterday went at my office, so I'm not even going to talk about it. Suffice it to say that it was a complete 3-ring circus. With sound effects.

What I'm going to talk about instead is the wayward words I've collected this week. Your task is to put them under the microscope, examine them six ways from Sunday, and tell me what they mean.

It is also your task to have a Helluva Happy Hump Day! I know I'm practically hyperventilating because my week is one day closer to over.

Your Words Gone Wild:

indirectely
a place to spent the night
sophistacated
evidentally
hygene
apprecicated
Oriential
reconcilliated
contradictionary
recepticle

Well if it did not involve sexual harassment, I can stop by today to complete your office bingo card.

The Answer Pug shall return later (maybe)to take a stab at today's list.

Sophistacated..Cosmopolitine
Evidentally...The circumferance of your teethmarks
Indirectely...Almost
Chez Sherry...A place to spend the night
Hygene...A Salutation of sorts
Oriential...Half Chinese
Contradictionary...A book of opposite definitions

Just stabbing at one... I had a lesser, but trying day at the office!

Let's try:

hygene

Genetic material that leads the child to act generally in a euphoric manner.
Not to be confused with lowgene, where the child inherits the parent's mood swings and depression.

No sexual harassment, Pugsley. The Old Man didn't have time for his afternoon Dialing for Hos. On speaker phone.;)

Good job, GM! I'm particularly partial to your take on "contradictionary" (which I should have figured out for myself) and "Oriential" (ditto).:)

Excellent piece of forensic linguistics analysis, Quid! I like days when my hygenes dominate.:)
