M: You should see my tulips. I planted $60 of bulbs last fall.
J: Oh, I can’t grow tulips anymore because of the deer. They love tulip bulbs.
M: How do they even find them?
J: They find them somehow, and dig them up.
M: They must smell them like pigs smell truffles.
J: Yeah, I’ll be darned if I spend money planting deer truffles.

A misspalin is a misspelling added to a spell checker or the English Language.
Before Sara Palin refused to admit she misspelled "repudiate" as "refutiate", and then claimed that she was like Shakespeare adding new words to the English Language, there was no word to describe a misspelling willfully added to correctly spelled words.

When my son was in grade school, I had to go through the entire spell check user dictionary to remove all of the misspalins he had added.

A block-away is a person who is so butt-ugly that they only stop hurting you eyes when they get a block away.
I was looking at the state police website of convicted sex offenders in my neighborhood. Yikes! 80- to 90 percent of them are block-aways.
So are you saying that the ugly made them do it?
Maybe. Ugly is lonely, and maybe the lonely made them do it.
Well, it’s a theory.

Shorthand for a political-polly-parrot–that is a person who:
1. Espouses the same right-wing talking points on any media available.
2. Gets all of his or her opinions from right wing media–mostly television and radio.
Both types of triple-P’s repeat the same whole phrases.
For example, on health care every triple-P is crying:
“Don’t cram this bill down our throats.”
“We have to start over.”
“Reconciliation is a sleazy trick.”
“...Death panels...”
“...a plot to kill grandma ...”

The worst triple-P is Cheney’s whelp. But since his eye surgery, I can’t even yell at the TV screen, “Oh, not this cross-eyed bastard again!”
