OK now, most people know about the miserable record breaking cold and blizzardy stuff going on here in the US, so I will not dwell on or bitch about it. Instead something light hearted, informative, and possibly amusing.
Apparently the Washington Post does a thing every year providing alternate definitions for words that we are already familiar with. So.....some samples:
Carcinoma (n) - a valley in California notable for it's heavy smog.
Abdicate (v) - to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
Esplanade (v) - to attempt an explanation while drunk.
Unroll (n) - a breadstick.
Mortar (n) - what tobacco companies add to cigarettes.
Flabbergasted (adj) - appalled over how much weight you have gained.
Balderdash (n) - a rapidly receding hairline.
Innuendo (n) - an Italian suppository.
Semantics (n) - pranks conducted by young men studying for the priesthood.
Lymph (v) - to walk with a lisp.
Gargoyle (n) - an olive flavored mouthwash.
Instigator (n) - do-it-yourself reptile kit. Just add water.
Now wasn't that fun??
