stomil
A rare deformity of cillia found mostly in cigar smokers or flour mill workers.
Uncle Pete, baker and cigar smoker, told us he was diagnosed with Stomil syndrome, but that it is treatable.
Oh, I'm going to do it twice. :^)
redsold
(past participle) the sale of a house under threat of foreclosure, allowing the owners to escape bankruptcy. Slang term for the more complicated term "short sale."
Our neighbors were in danger of foreclosure but at the last moment, their house was redsold and they moved to a cheaper suburb.
drefu
(n) an east African food made primarily of bulgar wheat and mangos, served with goats' milk cheese and parsley.
When Tiffany returned from Eritrea, she attempted to recreate the drefu, but oven baked was never as good as fire-roasted.
chembear
(n) an urban slang term for a heavyset, hairy gay or bisexual man whose day job involves working in a university laboratory or other setting that gives him access to explosives, homemade fireworks, or pharmaceuticals.
The 4th of July was a blast after Tony, a well-known chembear, started dating Kyle.
All right, that's all for now. Fun!
You've got me giggling, Bridgett! You're quite clever.

ingondl

Isabella can't come to the phone right now. She's ingondl.
This is fun!
vendownp
(verb) A command used by German nuns when ordering high school girls to touch the floor so that their prom gown necklines can be evaluated for cleavage. The "P" at the end of the word is a carryover from the days when the girls were told to pick up pins.
"Vendownp!" Sister Gertrude demanded in her horse-bray of a voice, and I complied, certain I would pass muster in my turtleneck prom gown.
Oh, hi--I'm back.
outralli
(noun) In 2018, Gay Pride, Gay Power, NYC LGBT, and all 42 Harvey Milk Day events consolidated, and the term outralli was born.
"Mom, I'm going to the outralli with Jennifer, Narda, Maya, Mia, and Beth. Wanna come?"
Susan: outralli is awesome! I think it happens in the park across the street every summer, frankly.
Today's word: toctyper
(n) In a secretarial or typing pool, the typist chosen for projects that must be completed in an incredibly short period of time.
Jillian was Mr. Hanson's go-to girl when it came to last minute jobs; she was the absolute best toctyper.
