Several years ago David Brooks and I published a series of Fun Phrases on our Facebook feeds. I compiled some of my creations in today’s blog.

XYZPDQ

Quickly confirming a pants’ zipper is zipped, performed by the male of the species

The teacher performed a XYZPDQ at his desk before standing to teach the class.

Cubekick

Kicking an errant ice cube under the refrigerator when no one is looking

While his wife was preoccupied, the husband lazily cubekicked rather than picking up the ice.

Tickle-me-ego

Laughing at a joke you told yourself

Although others don’t always get my humor, I tickle-me-ego.

Gel-smell

The alcoholic scent of hand sanitizer

After sanitizing our hands, the gel-smell made us smell like a bar.

Tattoo-booboo

Body art error

The man’s semi-religious tattoo read Phillipians 4:13.

Tumbledusts

Dust bunnies that summersault across the floor, usually when company visits

The fan’s gusts blew tumbledusts down the hall.

K-cup-redux

Reusing a K-cup for a second serving of coffee

The K-cup-redux coffee was so weak that it self-decaffeinated.
