Fictionary, Part II

toxsoil: toxic dirt (MWR)

evaculating: getting out of dodge a little too late. (TPgal)

obeast: as in, overweight - in a scary way. The actual sentence in which it was used: "my son's girlfriend is obeast like you." (the racist hairdresser at Hi-land coiffure in Renton Washington)

disreorgastraction: to reorganize your department to distract attention away from all the work you aren't getting done. (TPgal inspired by my evil work nemisis.)

obfuskate: a fun game where you play hide and seek on roller skates. Alternatively, in the business world it is when a useless colleague barely gets away with hiding the work she is unable to accomplish. These folks are generally really good at PowerPoint. (TPgal, inspired by a useless manager in another department.)

mompliment: the things your mother says to you that she means well, but cuts you to the core. i.e. on your wedding day: "gee, that dress is white" or "I sure liked how your hair looked yesterday."

comprag: to brag by complaining. "Oh man, even though it's first class, my flight to Paris is just going to suck."

topic-bomb: to casually mention in passing something huge, like an engagement, breakup, pregnancy, job change, house buying. (TPgal inspired by... oh you KNOW who you are!)

For example:
____________

from: topic-bomber@bignews.com
re: names

do you think Reilly is too common of a name for a baby? my mom hates it.

____________

bloggle: a posting to a blog that is so obtuse that it is confusing. "It bloggles the mind" (tpgal)
