the cool{no, not ‘kool’ or the sickening ‘kewl’} way to spell ‘screwed’, as well as how ’twas korrectly spelled in Old English (what with its Germanic routes). The letter ‘c’ should be reserved more for an ‘s’ sound (as in ‘Cici's Pizza’, proper-noun ‘Scion’, as well as when in concert with another letter to denote a new sound all its own: ‘bitch’, ‘charge’, ‘chagrin’, and German ‘ich’ or the proper-noun ‘Loch Ness Monster’).

Get the skrewed mug.A tree which consisting of several stems with long compound leaves protuding of each. Colloquially, sometimes called a ‘stink tree’ due to its strong distinguishing odor. Also called ‘tree of heaven’, with no hyphens.
The tree-of-heaven originated in China, and was brought to North America in the early 1800s. Here in the States, they seldom grow to a very large size, though in China they do more frequently.

Get the tree-of-heaven mug.short for \ shortened from \ shortened version of the prepositional phrase ‘on {TV}’ or ‘on {TV network-X}’. Preposistion used as a present-tense_particple-type adjective in sentences that answer or pose (dependent on whether the sentence is declarative or interrogative) the question as to ‘*When* {<a designated program> is on <television>}’.
This is an example of a shortened version of something which is repeatedly said over-and-over in English; another example is the ommition of 'that' or 'which' in the sense of “Why is it, that you always seem to be attracted the to food *I* like?”, which actually means “Why is it, that you always seem to be attracted the to food that\which *I* like?” Not exactly the same are these two, though similar enough to be compared, I feel.

Q: When is Family Guy on?
A: Family Guy is on FOX every Sunday at 9:00PM EST.
Person flipping through the satelite\cable\prescription tv channels, changing it at intervals of exactly two seconds: “Ugh, nothing good is on...”
Annoyed endurer: “There’s 999 channels to choose from!!--Pick one!!!”
Note: The above sentence breaks a rule as disregarded as split infinitives, ending a sentence with a preposition. It could be fixed to “There's 999 channels from which to choose!!--Pick one!!!”, though sounds awkward and stilted in such a form, even on a non-colloquial level.

Some days, as few as 08% of UD's submissions get approved by the editors and published; other days, may be as high as 96%. So the number of those pub'd varies greatly.

Get the pub'd mug.It takes balls to actually use your real name on UD, like I do. But it gives your definitions more authentification, you pansies. If ya really want your word to count, you can’t be afraid to let the world know that you were the one who said it.
