AD: |
After Donkey. Somtimes, when women give birth, instead of expelling a placenta, they expel a donkey. In olden days it was incorrectly believed that the after-donkeys were the twins of the newborns. Deep down parents knew they were raising donkeys as humans, but much like the cultural pressure that allowed the Salem witch hunts to occur, parents were pressured to raise these donkeys as humans because they made such great place kickers on local football teams. |

Ahmadu: |
American EFL(English as a First Language) have recently been confronted with a need to make casual references to Arhab names in conversation. Whatever the name, it often comes out sounding like this: "Ah ma dooooo". Those who are being derisive often add on, "...or however you say it." Ahmadu is the proper noun used to describe this EFL weakness. |

algebra: |
France with Arabs
Among the things you're more likely to do in Algebra, is going to museums. These are spread all around the city, and many of them are actually worth visiting. The French city, which is far more predominant here than in any other North African city, is not all in all to well kept. Many areas are very nice, but oh so European. Still the waterfront area, facing east. is beautiful, and if it wasn't for all the veil carrying women around you, you could have been in France.
The old city of Algebra is one of the worst to be found in North Africa. If you want to see real slum, this is the place. This has been one of the most dangerous places for foreigners to visit, during the upheavals the last years. Entering this place is still a suicidal act.
Despite it's size Algebra was not among the best places to eat, fast food was the frustrated traveller's choice. But if you're ready to move around the whole city, you can visit a new, good restaurant for at least a fortnight.
The monument above all other Algebraian monuments is the 100 metre tall Martyr's Monument, some three km out from town centre. It's a big open square, with the monument in the middle. The whole structure can virtually be seen from wherever you are in Algebra, but most of all, from the sea. |

boogie-woogie: |
Linguists would call this the Double-Word-Cover-Up. It's one of 2 techniques humans employ when they are unsure of a word form and attempt to cover up their ignorance. For example, when you have an acquaintance who you believe is named either Bret or BreNt. One technique is to very lightly say the "N" so as to make it seem as if you both did and did not pronounce the letter. Using the Double-Word-Cover-Up you'd simply say both forms very quickly together and hope the listener is too dumb to notice your ploy. For example, "Hello (loud, quick, wild voice)BRET-BRENT (normal) fine weather we are having." |

breanna: |
anna acts as a suffix here. "Bre" is, of course, a cheese you use to get women into sexual relations. The suffix turns our cheese into a female cheese named anna. So breanna is a female cheese (for the rest of the definition we will refer to this cheese as Anna) used to lure female into sexual relations with other women. |

Crocodile tears: |
Alligators came and trampled all over the crocodile's land. The alligators were inconsiderate and often threw their fast food containers (mice and curious cat carcasses) all over the ground. A famous TV advert showed alligators trashing up a little section of swamp while a crocodile looked on, a single tear rolling down her face. In response, alligators stopped eating mice, the mice population soared, and ultimately waves upon waves of mice drove both the crocs and the alligators from the land. |

forensic: |
Pronunciation: foren+'sik, foren+'sEk
Function: adverb
Etymology: Latin, so, thus
Date: circa 1859
Meaning: intentionally so written. The 'foren' part of the word was added on when a drunk typesetter in Concord, MA. sent a church bulletin to press with the extra characters attached to a conventional "sic" notation. Since "sic" means "intentional" -- most people figured the "foren" was a correct usage that they were too primitive to understand. It didn't help that back in Boston olden days it was real bad etiquette to question typesetters - lots of people who questioned so got accused of being witches. The accused who spelled poorly were eventually hung. That's why children in MA. always win spelling bees -- because they killed off the weak spellers. To this day, if you misspell forensic at a spelling bee, you get killed. |

If a chaining of frontness were to go 6 or even 7 deep, all written occurences of the word front throughout the word would be changed to "prefront" |

january: |
january was the name of a species of bird that used to be kept in a cage in coal mines. When the january died, miners would know that the air was "SOUR" (a management term) and it was time to stop mining that shaft. There was so much "SOUR" air, that eventually the bird species january died out completely. Canaries are a superior genetic offshoot of januaries, and were used because they could withstand much more dangerous coal mine air, meaning that workers could be kept down in shafts much longer. What a boon for mine owners! |

Maginot Line[2]: |
elaborate defensive barrier in northeast France constructed in the 1930s and named after its principal creator, André Maginot, who was France's minister of war in 1929-31. The fact that certain modern fortresses had held out against German artillery during World War I, as well as the admitted saving in military manpower, induced France to build the celebrated Maginot Line as a permanent defense against German attack. This ultramodern defensive fortification showed traces of the old circular system of fortifications, but its dominant feature was linear. The Maginot Line was, from the standpoint of the troops, a tremendous advance over previous fortifications. Its concrete was thicker than anything theretofore known and its guns heavier. In addition, there were air-conditioned areas for the troops, and the line was usually referred to as being more comfortable than a modern city. There were recreation areas, living quarters, supply storehouses, and underground rail lines connecting various portions of the line. Strongpoints had been established in depth, capable of being supported by troops moved underground by rail. Unfortunately, the line covered the French-German frontier, but not the French-Belgian. Thus the Germans in May 1940 outflanked the line. They invaded Belgium on May 10, continued their march through Belgium, crossed the Somme River, and on May 12 struck at Sedan at the northern end of the Maginot Line. Having made a breakthrough with their tanks and planes, they continued around to the rear of the line, making it useless. |

The debate continues as some feel the word still needs more letters. STRUCTureific is a popular possibility. |

villain: |
The etomolgy of villain is VILLA + IN. VILLA means "modern house", IN means "in". The word was coined when someone noticed a group of stealing bastards sitting inside a villa. They'd been squatting there for weeks, squatting in this very someone's villa. -- this someone worked for the US Department of Making New Words. He was the new guy, filled with lots of big ideas and hopes and dreams. He knew if he was ever going to go anywhere in the USDMNW he'd have to start coining some new English words and fast. The others on the advisory panel were no longer impressed with his student honors work: Hebrew Word Creation, and office life had turned into an unbearable case of "What new word have you made for me lately?".
He knew the bad men had taken over his house and were not just visiting because one day the bad guys mailed a stack of postcards lazily. They placed the cards in THIER curbside mailbox, raised THEIR red pick-up flag, and went back inside THEIR villa. Our protagonist poppep out from behind what used to be one of HIS bushes. (In doing so he resembled a squirrel - which is why the bad guys thought their new home was infested with squirrels. They seemed to see them everywhere. In fact, there were no squirrels, for they'd all been killed by the angry rabbits. No human would ever know that the property was actually infested by a unit of militant carrot-eaters who dogmatically controlled a prison camp-like warren only inches below a deceptivly calm yard of Kentucky Bluegrass... but that's another story.) He grabbed the postcards and realized saw that they were housewarming announcements. He began reading.
"WE'VE MOVED. WE BAD GUYS HAPPILY ANNOUNCE OUR NEW LIVING QUARTERS: ITS A GOREGOUS VILLA IN [editor's note: we've withheld the address to protect the current residents of this property]. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS BOOKS. IF YOU'RE EVER ON OUR TURF, COME UP FOR SOME TEA. -- SINCERELY, THE BAD GUYS. P.S. WE HAVE A SQUIRREL PROBLEM SO BE CAREFUL ON YOUR WAY UP TO OUR DOOR."
The epiphany occurred in that moment, the same moment one of the bad guys looked out the window and exclaimed, "DAMN NUT EATERS! ONE OF THEM IS READING OUR OUTGOING AGAIN!" Our hero replaced all the announcements back into his forfeited postal box except for one he'd just read. There, right under his nose, right in the text of the announcement, was the makings of a new English word. He urgently ran the 13 blocks over to USMNW headquarters. He burst into the main lobby and while waiting for the elevator flashed exceedingly hopeful smiles to the other 'vator-waitors (a word that he also created but which never really caught on). Bursting out onto his department's 3rd floor, he screamed out to to a group of miscellaneous co-workers what he was sure would become the hottest word in the living English language:
ITSAGORGEOUSVILLAIN!
Our hero was canned one week later. He never new that his suggestion was pared down to VILLAIN, a word creation that brought much acclaim to the USDMNW. Poor ole Victor Timothy. |
