Old Word, New Meaning

Post Reply New Topic

That's my favorite one so far.

catacomb: a grooming aid for cats
soccer: to hit a female
motherboard: A thing that teachers write on that has kids

That reminds me of a tv show I used to watch as a kid: cyberchase

genetic - someone who does't believe in DNA (see heretic)

Great postings by the previous posters .

Here's some of my own (I used some word lists to see if anything provided inspiration):
- hatemail: electronic message sent to a hat
- alligator: a writer that uses allegories a lot
- banana: get Ana out of here!
- hammock: making fun of a pig
- m***et: the middle of an airplane
- pepper: a cheerleader
- sausage: saw a wise guy

banana hammock and a m***et? Sounds like you watch the same TV comedy I do! (Scrubs, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, etc...)

Probably not; I haven't seen either of those shows. Like I said, I partly used some online word lists for quick inspiration (to get a bunch of random words that I might be able to do something with). Those particular words came from "Funny Words by Foxy" (the new meanings are all mine, though). The guy there might have watched those shows.
