Start a new word today... |
|
I realize today is "Talk Like A Pirate" day, but, I'm going to invent a word instead.
Today's creation is:
"Sewercide"
I have a few ideas as to what it could mean. However, I just create them I don't define them.
Anybody else have any new words to share?

verb, meaning: To decorate or accessorize in a manner that can only lower your property or resale value.
As in, "Jeff deteriorized his living room with an 8' x 10' black velvet portrait of Henry Kissinger."

Very utilitarian word anarch!
I know people who can 'deteriorize' a room just by walking into it!

Thanks Liberalynn!

19. Your word reminds me... |

...of an old poem:
By the sewer he lived, By the sewer he died, Some say it was murder, But it was sewer-side.
