Alternate Word Meanings

[Ronny]

Someone emailed me a list of alternate word meanings, these were some of my favorites. I thought it would be fun to see what some of you would have for your alternate meanings.

Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.

Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.

Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent.

Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown.

Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller

Testicle (n.), a humorous question on an exam.

Oyster (n.), a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddish expressions.

Pokemon (n), A Jamaican proctologist.

Frisbeetarianism (n.), The belief that, when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck there.

I got an email with this one in it once:

Circumvent (n.), the opening in the front of boxer shorts

Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller

This is interesting in that a good portion of my ambulance co-workers are prone to (and proud of) horriffic flatulence.
