Word Recycling

We note that the US government is the all-time champion when it comes to creating acronyms.

Here are just a few of the acronyms in use by the US Government:

Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW)

National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases (NCZVED)

Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX)

We also note that there are a few acronyms missing from the official government list. So in the interest of public awareness, we offer the acronyms for a some of the more obscure government agencies:

Council on Civic Crime In Xanadu (COCCIX)

Aviation Reconnaissance Mapping of Plant Infestation Territories (ARMPIT)

Secretaries Office for Underwater Nostalgia – Division of Asset Services, Liason, Enforcement, and Entertainment Planning (SOUNDASLEEP)

Anagrams for “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad”:

A Dam Jehad Undo Him, Ma

A Jaded Nomad Imam Huh?

Today’s Recycled Word: Obambulate

Words are falling out of common use everyday. When was the last time you used a shoe hook, went pace egging or ate haggis? Or for that matter, when was the last time you heard of someone obambulating? We note that to obambulate means to wander aimlessly. However, this muscular and clinical sounding word is crying out for a more common definition. So we offer the following alternative definition:

Obambulate

intransitive verb, obambulate, obambulating

1. to choke to near asphyxiation during a violent verbal tirade against Barack Obama, as in “Mr. Limbaugh obambulated on his show again today and had to be taken to the emergency room.”

Anagrams for “Vladimir Putin”

Run It, Limp Diva!

Anagrams for “Manuel Ortega”

Legato Manure

Anagrams for “Nancy Pelosi”:

Anagrams for “Rachel Maddow”:

Clad mad her, ow!

Ache, mad world!

I love hog calls like those at state fairs around the USA. Great hog calls include a combination of grunting, gutteral sounds and rising syllable notes. They should be able to be hollered and heard for miles and be easily learned and repeated. Champion callers have unique signature calls. Most important of all, they should attract hogs.

We humbly offer these hog calls for President Bush, who surrounds himself with some real champion hogs:

Heeer PigEEE-PigEEE, UHH-HUHH,

NEW-kew-lurr, NEW-kew-lurr ,UHH-HUHH, NEW-kew-lurr,

eye-RAK, eye-RAK, no-bid-CON-tract, UHH-HUHH, no-bid-CON-tract,

Heeer brow-NEE, brow-NEE, brow-NEE

Anagrams for Rush Limbaugh:

Hauls Grub Him!

Hamburg Lush I

Largish Bum, Uh?

Laughs Rub Him

Anagram for “Barack Obama”:

Anagrams for Joe Biden:

Anagrams for “Sarah Palin”:

Words are falling out of common use everyday. When was the last time you were fleered at, felt orgulus or applied for a job as a plongeur? Or for that matter, how many times have you had occasion to put something on a plinth? We note that a plinth, a supporting block beneath a column, pedestal, or statue still has some utility. However, this nerdy sounding word is just waiting to be put back into broader circulation.

So we offer the following alternative definitions:

Plinth (noun)

1. A lisping prince, as in the “Plinth and the Plauper”.

2. An impressive potential male suitor who turns out to be gay, as in “that hunk at the bar last night turned out to be a plinth. Can you believe it?”
