Monty by Jim Meddick for March 07, 2024

Shart was even worse.

The editors of the Oxford English Dictionary stopped responding to Monty’s suggestions years ago.

I’m on Team Monty this time. I’m going to use “slud” from now on.

Man, that outlet is as big as his calf !!!

What would you call it, if you sneezed while passing gas?

“Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen, Gretchen. It’s not going to happen.”

“Santorum” caught on…

(Don’t Google it.)

Or “snart?” A sneeze that pushes out a färt?

My term “versimify” for “creating fake news” never caught on.

If you really want to perform a service to the English language, Monty, come up with a pronoun that means “a single human being” but isn’t “he”, “she”, or (lord save us) “they”!

Crazalistic!

IDK. I think spork (spoon and fork combo) made it into the dictionary.

It’s a drizzle of snow, or a snizzle.

Check with the Inuit dictionary. They have 43 names for slush.

My brothers tried to create a word back in the 60s- “gug”, meaning to eat something really, really fast. Never caught on, not even in the neighborhood.

Besides, it sounds like a loose woman.

And yet the very word “meme” was invented by Richard Dawkins as a parallel to “gene”, and look how successful that’s been.

Reminds me of an environmental science professor who talked about car exhaust in various regions: smog (smoke + fog) on the coasts; smust (smoke + dust) in arid regions; and in agricultural areas — smit!

To set a trend or phrase you have to have followers first, people who listen to you.

When my cat meows and halfway through it decides to yawn, that’s a meyawn.
