Meanwhile back at the ranch, the unknown enemy is ever persistently being corralled with a restructured battle cry.

I'm going to give it another 12-24 hours.

charlita:

A stock-market prediction technique involving a detailed examination of the salt encrusting the rim of your marguerita glass. It is reported to work better if you don't drink the marguerita.

charlitia

a spontaneous and untreatable healing of charstonella, where the necrotic tissue not only heals itself, but where the newly rejuvinated tissue is stronger and healthier than the original.

There were several very useful definitions, but for sheer dork-points and topicality, it goes to NightShadow.

Honorable mention to colin.

Oh my stars and garters! How long has it been since I won one of these things? I'm gonna put on my thinking cap for this one....

Uhhhhhmmmm.....

The new word is: monissible

Was that word too tough for you guys or sumtin'?

monissible - something that is allowed once. If everyone's entitled to one screw-up , then screwing up is monissible. If the crusty but benign platoon sergeant tells you "I'm happy to hear any complaints - once" then complaining to the sergeant is monissible. And so on.

monissible, adj., an otherwise straightforward statement which can be made ambiguous through the use of mysterious facial expressions. Contraction of "Mona Lisa smile-able." Ex., I didn't realize just how monissible the phrase "you are under arrest" could be until Officer Jones said it to me, then put her tongue up her nose.

mon is si ble adj.

Possible to explain entirely through the use of words with one syllable. It should be noted that monissibility is, itself, not monissible.

monissible moni SS ible
Etymology : Originating in the early twenty-first century in the vigilante doctrines emerging from the neo-nazi movements of MAS-12 (Missouri Allied Suppression) describing inadequacies of a deteriorated and corrupt justice system. (The group was eventually educated and subsequently annihilated by corporate security squads.)

n., adj.

An illegal act that is permissible under a corrupt justice system due to the monetary position of the defendant.

monissible

pertaining to an unnatural blending of opposites usually occuring in, but not exclusive to, mammalian hormones.
the term was coined when scientists discovered the existence of esterone, a rare mutation of a single balanced hormone containing the properties of both estrogen and testoterone. curiously, these monissible hormones operate as if the original and seperate parent hormones were both present and active.
some experts classify certain varieties of hermaphrodites as monissible organisms. this speculation is currently the center of heated debate among the World Monissible Non-Society.

84 WGB words so far
85 if you count chode.

Okay. Time to pick a winner before I knock off for some much-needed (and deserved) rest....

CKC's was really eye-catching and I liked the flavor of it, but Colin won out with his "less is more" technique.

So take it away, Colin. You're now the ring-leader of this ad-hoc etymological terrorist cell.

I'd like to thank the academy for making it all possible. And my dancing potatoes.

Next word: partoolism

partoolism:

The property of your bladder that informs you that you need to "GO" when you are otherwise completely content with your surroundings. EX. You have that puppy finally asleep on your lap, and the bag of chips just where you can reach it, and something amusing or suspenseful on the tele.

Recently, there have been a number of anti-partoolism drugs advertised on USA television. (I'm getting pretty pissed off about them, myself)

partoolism pee arto allee zzm
Etymology: Originating during the time of the IRAN-CONTRA hearings when Ronald Reagan pissed a caricature of Oliver North in the snow behind the White House.

noun.

A caricature scribed with an unconventional instrument.

I am SO sorry to inform everyone, but "partoolism" clearly refers to one of the less common technogeek sectarian religions. Partoolism is especially notorious for supporting the belief that whether you crimp them or partition them, Windows hard drives suck.

partoolism, n., The indoctrinated belief in the use of the partool. Two sects exist, the Software Partoolists and the Hardware Partoolists. Rumors of intermarriage between these two groups are unsubstantiated.

partool, n. 1. A Linux utility useful in manipulating Windows partitions, see also Ref:

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/topic-35643-24.html

and 2. A brand of hand tools by the Partex Company in Great Britain designed for all manner of crimping. Se also Ref:

Oh, I forgot: I would like at this time to apologize in advance to any Baptist Partoolists out there. No offense, dudes.
