verhosen

This word is the combination of mistakenly understood German syntax and a term in the computer industry used to describe something that is really messed up or broken (hosed). In German, 'ver' can be added to some words to describe an extreme of a state. For example, trinken ( to drink) and vertrunken ( to drown ). Hence, 'ver' was mistakenly added to hosed and created verhosen to describe something that is broken or messed up to an extreme. However, the word hosen in German means pants, so if verhosen were to have a direct translation it would be something like 'bad pants' even though it was meant to mean something completely different.

That computer is not just broken, it is verhosen.

verbose®

Boringly talkative about da Wave Radio and/or other higher-end home-audio equipment.

Paul Harvey was so ravingly verbose® about da Wave radio during a number of his broadcasts years ago dat I finally took da plunge and asked a WalMart salesperson to demonstrate said supposedly-wondrous device to me. I was bitterly disappointed; I really couldn't perceive anything particularly remarkable about da unit's sound-quality or spacial effect.

Verbusercise

Exercise while being verbally abused. A very effective method of maintaining one's motivation during an exercise routine, as successful completion might make the yelling stop. Excellent reinforcement of negative stimulation. Most often practiced in the armed forces.

Sgt: "You call that running you weak nancy!"
Pvt: "But I've been running five miles, I can't..."
Sgt: "GOD DAMMIT YOU USELESS PILE OF SHIT, YOU WILL RUN FIVE MORE MILES AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!"
Pvt: " YES SIR!"

Tabby was a fat bitch, but then she got herself some Verbusercise. Now she's in great shape, and only lightly mentally damaged!
