1. GRANARY – grandmotherhood
2. TABOO – what a magician-turned-ghost would say
3. STALEMATE – boring pal
4. KILOBYTE – how a rabid dog kills
5. KIDNAP – children’s mid-afternoon siesta

Realistically:
1. WEATHER-a lifesaving topic you resort to when all other conversation is failing.
2. SWIMMING POOL- a place where you can go to console yourself that others in the world are fatter than you are
3. NEWSPAPER- an accessory that helps you spy on the people sitting around you

8. JEANS - weight detectors (better and more reliable than weighing machines)
9. SECRET – something that everyone knows but pretends not to know
10. CELEBRITY – a person whose death makes headlines
And finally, inventing some on my own:
1. PERUSALTRAUMA – act of repeatedly counting the number of pages left to read in a particularly boring reading assignment
2. SIDDLE – move from side to side in a vain attempt to let the person in front of you pass by, only to find that he/she is doing the same
3. STUPIDITIOUS – person who believes that the next pinball game will show him his math test score
4. QUICKLEAN – act of cleaning up the house or your room five minutes before guests arrive
5. DISALBUWEL – remove personally unflattering pictures from an album
6. BRANDANCY- loyalty to a particular brand in the market
7. MASSMANIA – weighing yourself immediately after skipping a meal to see if some weight has dissipated
8. PICKACY – art of selecting the largest piece of pastry on a platter without the host or other guests noticing
9. SLAPTREATMENT – hitting the television/music deck/video-player to make it work
I change my color scheme around, just like you recently changed yours'.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I didn't really think of the energy consequences. Good idea! Although me building a gaming machine that sucks up 500 Watts at times isn't helping.
haha, i wrote something similar to this a couple of years ago. I was so full of myself (and some say I still am) that I created my own 25 word dictionary (http://mendelismental.blogspot.com/2006/01/dictionary.html).

So true, I accidentally ran into my boss yesterday and we immediately started talking about the weather. 'It's hot outside, isn't it?' (Like, duh)
