My favourite (on another list) is TESTICULATION

Flapping your arms about while talking a load of bo****ks

 

[Andrew Fergus]

This reminds me of 'unwords' such as spurgle, frust, bevameter, fluggling, carperpetution and rignition - see : http://www.unwords.com/view/topics.html

It looks like there might be a few double-ups, but both sites are good.

P.S. I recently saw a while bunch of cartoon episode names that made me smile, such as:
queasy rider
the fat and the furious
accidental terrorist
emission impossible
lard of the rings
smoke on the daughter
'twas the nut before Christmas

.....and so on.....and so on.....too many to list....

Over here in Blighty we have a dictionary of these namely "The Uxbridge Dictionary" as heard on BBC Radio 4 "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

eg:

"Five-a-Side": To Kill a Boy Band
"Meander": She and I
"Navigator": Road Building Crocodile
"Oxymoron": Stupid Cow
"Piston": One who is taken advantage of

etc etc...

Here is the States, back in the 80s, there were a series of books called "Sniglets" that were made up words, like:

mega-nega-bar
Def. The squiggly line you write on your check after the dollar amount so no one adds "and a million dollars" after it.

The references that Luke posted (taking actual words and giving them alternate meanings) are also famous over here in the form of Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary. Here is one example:

european
"hey dude turn the other way, european on my boots"

Oops, appears I misintepreted... being a donkey'n'all I tend to get the wrong end of the stick quite regularly.

 

[Jonmo1]

I always liked the Redneck Dictionary.

My Favorite is

Sensuous = "Since you was"

Used in a Sentence: Sensuous up, can ya get me a beer?"

Off topic, but I hear Terry Gilliam plans to make a film about you.

Is it true, do you have any involment in the production?

If it is true, do you have any control over the project/script and will it tell us the real story?
