You Better Read This Post. I'm About To Be Word Raptured.

The other day I went to leave a comment on a blog, when I encountered the following word verification:  “Squid.”

I’m pretty sure this is a sign of the apocalypse.  Word verification words are supposed to be a jumble of letters.  Last time I checked, “squid” was a word. This got me thinking, what if the word verification jumbles are actually undiscovered legitimate words?  It can’t be that hard to figure out.  Watch.

Cocarsi: 1)  Of course I’ll carpool!
'
Jamogigl: 1) To get down-and-funky or to have a laugh-attack.*  Not both.

Unothog: 1) The discovery that some one is NOT a hog.  2) The absence of a hog.  3) One hog.  Or one thog.  Whatever.

Cartuper: 1) One who purposely upturns a cart.  They probably don’t want to go on the cart.  I’m sure they feel happy.

Dicystes: 1) Two cysts.  With an extra “e.”  “E” for “extreme” or maybe “elephant.”  Probably elephant.  Don’t worry, double-elephant-cysts are actually a good omen.  You shouldn’t have to go on the aforementioned cart.

See? Easy. I’m expecting my cheque from Merriam-Webster to arrive any day now.

* I realize none of the cool kids “get-down-and-funky” or have “laugh-attacks.”  But this post is already so ridiculous that I’m sure a couple of hopelessly outdated phrases will go more or less unnoticed.

** OH MY GOD, I wrote this post late last night, and this morning when I went to leave a comment on another blog, my word verification was “Nation.”  I’m keeping an eye out for the four horseman.   And my cheque still hasn’t arrived.  Get it together, Merriam-Webster, I’ll probably be raptured any minute now.
