An Illustrated Dictionary

I had a random idea today and decided to follow through on it. I'm putting together a dictionary of bad words - not swear words, but rather words that are bastardizations of real words created by children or grammatically-challenged adults - in the style of a children's dictionary. The first entry is below. I have a few more in the queue that I'll work on, but feel free to suggest words such as "teefbrush" and "puss" (noun meaning small bag often carried by women). Real, correctly spelled/used words need not apply.

I'll eventually put these in an alphabetized PDF with a goofy intro, if the ambition lasts long enough. The first entry comes from my own childhood struggle with words, as remembered by my mother.




maggot-finding glass  (n.)
A lens used to make small objects appear larger.
