The following were a couple of the winning entries: * Coffee (n.), a person who is coughed upon. * Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach. * Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk. * Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent * Negligent (adj.), a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightie. * Gargoyle (n.), an olive-flavored mouthwash. * Flatulence (n.) emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller. * Pokemon (n), A Jamaican proctologist.
