Furthermore, the sentence usually also contains problems with basic spelling and grammar, and unfortunate rablo-invented words. 

An experienced rablo can fool the reader into thinking that in fact she writes well, while the truth is that she so abuses the language that the grammar and syntax police should be contacted immediately. Rabloism can be contagious and lead to pointless drivel on several sites.

finally

vaverys:
the projects that get made after a long period of inspiration with the inability to act on said inspiration.

use:
the vaverys julie made today were worth the wait.

and here's some of mine...

I need a long car trip to think on these. This envelope's been by my laptop so long it's got food stains!

Jump in anytime if any incite overpowering inspiration or anything!

here's how many...

WV words i've collected. now, i just need to write some definitions for some of them. i'm just waiting for inspiration to strike. i'm sure it will come and smack me up side of the head soon.

a severe case of pershomi

i am overrun by all of the slips of paper that i have been jotting WV words on. i've been waiting for inspiration to strike and it has thus far failed me, but a glimmer of inspiration showed up this morning, so here you go...

kengst - the feeling of weakness in the face of some coveted object that's on sale for half the usual price, when you've vowed not to make any major purchases until your new paycheck starts to come in.  as in: i'm in total kengst over the red kitchen aid espresso machine that i saw in imerco yesterday. it's marked down to 4,000DKK from the usual 8,000DKK and they only have one. if i spend 40DKK every time i buy a latte at starbucks or in a café, i'd have it paid for in a mere 100 lattes.

begaliti - the total self-justification of breaking vows not to make major purchases. the last sentence above was a begaliti.

obonings - constant nagging of husband to get a haircut. thankfully, the obonings have worked and he just came back from the hairdresser, looking much more himself again.

pershomi - a sense of longing for warmer, more exotic climes, brought on by reading travel memoirs.

lations - the hand sweats you get watching a child clear a particularly difficult level in super mario for the DS lite.

pardiness - a tendency to remain in one's pajamas all day long when one doesn't have to be anywhere.

like pulling teeth...

i sat my sister and her boyfriend down last week in a cool copenhagen bar (bankeråt) beneath this rather disturbing lamp and asked them to compose some balderdash definitions. here's what they came up with:

outoon - 1.) a group of soldiers stationed just outside of enemy territory (mq) OR 2.) short cartoon at the end of a movie (jason).

muragon - an object whose number of sides equals a prime number.

salki - an alcoholic who drinks a lot of saki.

sifflo - the rate at which flour flows through a sifter.

winest - the basket that's often found around a bottle of chianti.

tessive - the handwriting of someone who tries too hard with their handwriting.

sixici - 600

getting these few definitions out of them was like pulling teeth. perhaps proving that you can't foist your obsession on others. and that this little venture requires inspiration.

undays

Just got 'unday' when I posted a comment for Julochka and it brought to mind this cartoon - 

I think the picture says it all.... one of those undays.

a new thing

I have this new thing...making up definitions for words based on the wv words on some of my favorite posts.

For example, my wv word for this post of tangobaby's was CONSU. Definition: the telling of a beautiful story with words AND photos.

and from this post of Molly's: PHOMA. Definition: that feeling you get when you get back into exercising. A cross between exhaustion and exhilaration and adrenaline.
