I don't know if anyone else enjoys these, but it's 12:30am and I'm bored. They could be ones you said or ones you heard or saw somewhere.

To start: irrational tweezer deprivation. I said this in the context of my tweezers mysteriously disappearing.

I'm both limbo challenged and follicularly enhanced.
I have acoustic knee telemetry and a cerebral microwave array

I thought we were going to be talking about word combinations that are two words where you remove some of the letters and put the rest to make a new word that either sounds clever or really dumb.

Like "hangry", which is a combo of hungry and angry, used to describe a person being irritable when they haven't eaten.

Or "Bridezilla", which is a combo of "bride" and "Godzilla", used to describe a woman preparing for her upcoming wedding who displays unruly behavior that terrorizes people around her, like the famous Japanese monster Godzilla.

How about contractions?

Contractions like "you'all've" or "i'ven't"?

Even better, how about "I'dn't've"?

Any type of alcohol - stupid juice

dang, I love this subject. I adore playing with words.

I have had many many cats (mostly fostering) over the years and have a huge collection of whiskers that I've found on rugs or beds. I have developed 'a whisker eye' that allows me to pick out the whisker image from a rug pattern that no one else can see. So I am a bit obsessed with the things. When I spy a pine needle on my deck, I call out, "tree whisker!"

When I drop something (often, as I have arthritic hands) and it makes a loud noise hitting the floor, I say , "ClangDeCrangDang!" as if I am celebrating the noise or maybe using humor to deflect the fact that it happens more often than I'd like.
Now that I think of it, I find it similar to one of my favorite phrases from Calvin and Hobbes, when the dad drops something on his toe and what comes out of his mouth is "slippin rippin dang fang rotten zarg barg ding-dong."
