Suffrajet

Suffrajet: noun. A suffrajet is an aeroplane belonging to a women's rights movement. While suffrajets tend to be painted pink and are usually flown for amusement, some Republicans assert that suffrajets are in fact used to spread the feminist agenda of evil bisexuals led by the Antichrist. The antiductivity of such jets is unknown.

Antiductivity

Antiductivity: noun. The exact opposite of productivity, antiductivity is a measurement of how a certain object or action decreases the value of another object. For example, whereas we tend to define factories in terms of their productivity, as their purpose is to bring valuable items to the market, we look at things like Kamikaze pilots in terms of their antiductivity, as their main goal is to destroy the value of certain objects. The adjective derived from this word is antiductive and both can be used in sentences such as: "I was very antiductive today - I blew up a couple of buildings. I would have been even more antiductive had I not won the prize for antiductivity, which I guess is sort of productive."

Harlotrious

Harlotrious: adjective. To be harlotrious is to have the qualities of a harlot (namely promiscuity) and to behave like one (namely by being a prostitute). The word harlotrious can be used to denote men, women and people of another or no sex, but in this world, it is obviously used more in relation to women. Indeed, harlotrious men are more commonly referred to as "players," which broils the blood of more than a one feminist.

Buttox

Buttox: noun. A buttox is a bovine regularly engaging in headbutting other buttoxen. The highest proportion of buttoxen to the rest of the ox population can be found among muskoxen, as there is a high level of competition between males in muskox communities for mates. In contrast, buttoxen make up a far smaller percentage of the regular ox population, as bulls are frequently kept in solitude and have little opportunity to display their physical prowess through headbutting.

Philadauphia



Philadauphia: noun. Contrary to popular belief, philadauphia is not a term for being half horse and half dauphin, but a term for the state a horse is in while ridden by a dauphin. A horse ridden by a dauphin is thus said to be “currently experiencing philadauphia” – a pleasure which might be uplifting for lovers and concubines but less so for horses unless they are in quite unconventional positions.

Philadollphia



Philadollphia: noun. Philadollphia is a word used to denote two slightly different ideas. The more commonly used sense of the word philadollphia is connected to the horse figurine industry – in this sense, philadollphia is the state of being a horse doll. On the other hand, philladollphia could also refer to horses with artificial body parts – animals that are partly horses and partly dolls. These are also called horsedroids by science-fiction writers.

Philadolphia


Philadolphia: noun. Philadolphia is a relatively uncommon phenomenon artistically depicted by some ancient civilisations and frequently so by the Greeks. The word describes the state of being part horse and part dolphin – a state, some historians argue, that is characteristic of the legendary hippocampus. While many historians hold the traditional view that the hippocampus is part horse and part fish, thus challenging its claim to philadolphia, modern revisionists of Greek art and culture often come to the conclusion that since many ancient civilisations did not distinguish between fish and marine mammals (and since the body of a horse is more biologically compatible with the body of a dolphin than with that of a fish), the hippocampus is more likely than not a prime example of philadolphia in fiction.

Filiodauphia



Filiodauphia: noun. To experience filiodauphia is to have a son who is a dauphin. While many French royals and aristocrats were technically filiodauphiacs, they were not known as such because of their more important titles. In fact, the only filiodauphiacs known as filiodauphiacs were people of little achievement and of ordinary descent who entered noble families by sheer luck. This has happened exactly zero times, which not only explains why the French aristocrats were incredibly inbred, but also why the word Filiodauphia is hardly ever used.

Filiodollphia



Filiodollphia: noun. Filiodollphia is to have a child who is a doll. Many children go through an episode of mental filiodollphia at some point and care for their plastic playmate until its head gets stuck in a lawnmower, stifling the parental instinct in some children for another thirty years. We deliberately wrote children rather than girls not because some of our male writers have played with dolls as little boys – which all of us firmly deny – but because we wish to combat stereotypes in writing that irritate the dormant feminists in us.

Filiodolphia



Filiodolphia: noun. To have a child who is a dolphin. Common among dolphins and slightly less so among Australians, filiodolphia is a completely natural phenomenon. However, as Mrs Palin has so kindly written to us in an unrelated email, “I have nothing against filiodolphiacs; in fact, some of my best friends are filiodolphiacs; but I just can’t stand it when they force this lifestyle on the rest of us through their liberalist agenda. If they wanted to, they could finally leave us alone and cross my backyard back into Russia.”
