Fancy word for putting new meanings to old words. From the Washington [DC] Post's annual column.
coffee--the person on whom one coughs
flabbergasted--appalled over how much weight you've gained
abdicate--to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach
esplanade--attempt an explanation while drunk
willy-nilly--impotent
negligent--describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown
lymph--walk with a lisp
gargoyle--olive-flavored mouthwash
flatulence--emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller
balderdash--a rapidly receding hairline
testicle--a humorous question on an exam
Have a great day. Now clean up your computer screen.
