In light of the success of the last little somethin’ somethin’, I figured it might be fun to give this a try…

Bunkum Rules of Play:
The commenter before you will post a word they made up. You should post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence. Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!

Starnwondr is a game you play with water. See, you put water in your mouth, and then try and say “Starnwondr” six times. If you get it, without choking on water and not laughing, you will….at least 8,000 points.

“Hey guys,” Jimmy says at the party,
” I’m bored. Do you know what we could do?! Oh man. We could place this new and hip game. It’s called Starnwondr. All we need is some water and good cheer will be had by all.”
So all the chaps went into the living room with the brown shag carpet and played one of the greatest games ever invented.

Spandangle:

1. A type if muscial interlude sung by people like Mr. Bojangles.

2. Also a type of earring very popular in the 80s that was long and dangly and only worn with Baggy T-shirts over spandex pants.

circumdangerous

Spandangle - (noun - Chiefly U.S.): the distance one needs to keep away from any object that dangles to avoid it making contact with any part of one’s anatomy.

John miscalculated the spandangle of Michelle’s golf club and regretted it instantly - Then he lay down - quickly!

Bartle.

love <B

Danielle - maybe it was because you went first but you mispronounced ‘misprounce’ and correctly pronounced ’skatepark’ thus reversing totally the definition?? ( dehickulate - which you also misspelled!)

Want to have another shot?? :-)

I know - i’m pedantic to annoyance! ;-)

love <B

circumdangerous & bartle - both can be used to describe an cantankerous older person.

He is certainly circumdangerous, I wish he would kick the can so I can inherit his millions. Typical bartle, he will probably out live us all. He also keeps correcting everybodys spelling. :)

glub

Nice Ed!

And since comments haven’t been closed yet…

“Glub” is the come back phrase thought of about 15 seconds too late thus losing its effectiveness and remaining unsaid. Derived from the words ‘glib’ and ’stumped’.

As Marcela watched Hector walk away with his nose in the air in her confused state the glub “yeah, well your mother wears army boots” made a fleeting stop in her mind, alas it was too late.

prackle

Ohhh. I like Angie’s!

danielle’s hubby: how nice of you to say so. :-) The definition comes from an extreme personal case of glubness.

Have you seen ‘You’ve Got Mail’? The leading female character is glub then learns to be cunning and cutting; but then she regrets it. That is a great movie!

Prackle: Noun: 1. the porous surface of a type of stone that is soft to the touch, but bites into one’s behind fiercely when sat on for longer than 15 minutes. 2. conversation which gives the appearance of kindness, but is cruel at heart.

1. During our morning walk, I found a beautiful rock to rest on. It was nice at first, but the prackle hurt so badly after a time that I could not sit down for half the day!

2. I passed by the ladies clustered around the shrimp bar, and overheard their conversation again. What I had mistaken for small talk was actually nothing more than prackle. I removed myself.

beschel

beschel - the act of losing ones ability to think coherently.

Although Robert was a very intelligent man, he became bescheled when attempting to answer his girlfriends question about her latest hair style.

Stephanie considered herself to be very sensible and capable person but was reduced to a state of beschelment when the young delivery boy bent over to pick up the mail he had dropped on the floor.

phalange

Oops. I just checked my dictionary and phalange is a real word. Sorry.

mecokburn

That is a real word.
http://www.answers.com/topic/phalange

French, from Old French, body of infantrymen, from Latin, from Greek phalanx, phalang-, log, battle array, bone between the finger and toe joints.

Here is my sentence for that interesting word:

The washer woman looked down at her swollen phalanges, one of which was squeezed by her simple wedding band, and remembered life before.

purchology

double commentating going on here…

So… mecokburn… that is the small warbling bird native to the northwest regions of Greenland.

sticking with the word…

purchology

allrighty… let’s call it quits right here, and we’ll start up with “fersurdum” next time.
