Start a new word today...

I realize today is "Talk Like A Pirate" day, but, I'm going to invent a word
instead.

Today's creation is:

"Sewercide"

I have a few ideas as to what it could mean. However, I just create them I don't define them.

Anybody else have any new words to share?

1. I suppose I could troll FreeRepublic for some new words

They seem to be good at that.

3. deteriorize

verb, meaning: To decorate or accessorize in a manner that can only lower your property or resale value.

As in, "Jeff deteriorized his living room with an 8' x 10' black velvet portrait of Henry Kissinger."

5. LOL! Great I love it!

Very utilitarian word anarch!

I know people who can 'deteriorize' a room just by walking into it!

19. Your word reminds me...

...of an old poem:

By the sewer he lived,
By the sewer he died,
Some say it was murder,
But it was sewer-side.
