Deplorable Dictionary

ges-hun-dite noun /ges-hoon-dite/ 1. In geology, the mineral geshundite. Typically found in the elbow pit area of a sleeve where a sneeze has been directed. 2. The particulate matter resulting from a sneeze once the liquid portion has evaporated. 3. The sedimentary rock geshundite. Dust from the mining of geshundite is known to make people sneeze. Why in the world this stuff is mined is beyond me. People engage in so many inexplicable activities.

Reid and I frequently engage in silly word play! Often the results are awesome names for rock bands, sometimes we create new words that then require definition. Many of these are blog-worthy.

Just to clarify, this post is an original outburst from my brain, not a re-posting of something I read elsewhere.

When I do re-post others' creative property, I make every effort to credit them. It is not my practice to claim anyone else's clever work as my own.
