Raizzt,

In every kitchen in North America there seems to be at least one drawer that is in complete farrago.

Jerk,

NEW WORD: Farrago fe-rah'go, n (Latin farrago, mixed fodder, from far, grain)

A confused mass of objects or people; any disordered mixture. This is an excellent term to describe the chaos evident in a crowd, jumble sale, or any drawer in my home. It's not just a mess, but adds the extra context of confusion and clutter.

Jerk,

WINNER FOR THE WORD "JEREMIAD": A draw. Only two submissions, both funny but equally groaners.

furryguy64,

This English fellow was conversing with a French man one day, and they got to arguing about a particular local bovine specimen which had been famous for its size and grandeur, the french guy argued vociferously that it had been a cow, milk and all. But the english man got the last word in when he yelled, in a derogatory fashion, that 'Jeremiah had been a bull, frog!!'

OH yeah! I'd concede but...the word is Jeremiad?!

zeke43,

A few months ago, I called up the local newspaper to sell something in the classifieds. A few days prior, I had chipped a tooth prying off a beer cap during a heated round of Fris-Beer at Jerk's and suffered a slight lisp. I relayed my classified information to the Classifieds manager, who's name was Jerry. The following week, I scanned the paper to see if my item had been listed. To my horror, what should have read "For sale: Stalks of ornamental corn!" instead read "For sale: Box of oriental porn!". I quickly got on the horn to the paper again and the first thing out of my mouth when the manager answered was: "Jerry, my ad!?".

Hi Zeke.. I would like to buy some of that oriental porn, as long that it is not too expensive because i only have a few Yen on me. Bring it to school in the fall...
See you then, B Cantin

Jerk,

Gotta give this one to Zeke. Good one my friend.

New word:
JEREMIAD jer-i-my'ad, n (From Jeremiah, reputed author of the Book of Lamentations)

A lamentation or prolonged complaint; an angry or cautionary harangue. Poor Jeremiah! He writes one complaining letter to God, whines about the state of the world, gets it published in the most popular book of all time, and his name is forever attached to the concept of complaining and lamenting one's fate. I think there's a moral message in there somewhere, but I haven't figured out yet what it is.

zeke43,

A long, long time ago, I agreed to go out to dinner with this girl as a favour for a friend. The evening grew progressively worse as conversation went from her ex-boyfriends to her insecurities and neuroses. And her nervous laughter was like a kitten being run over a cheese grater. The last straw was when she started to criticise what I was wearing and the restaurant I'd chosen. When I drove her home, she asked if she could see me again, to which I replied "Sorry, but you were an ultracrepidate!" (Sound it out!)

Raizzt on Friday, 18 June 2010 00:33

Nice one!

Jerk,

A little knowledge is said to be a dangerous thing. Today's easy access to the internet along with a lack of commonsense offers far too much opportunity for ultracrepidation by those who should just ask the experts.
