The word for Day 5 is —-
EXPERGEFACTION
This is a natural reflex resulting from an unexpected encounter with your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/in-law which is followed by a deep sense of satisfaction!
So that's my definition. What's yours? Post it in the comment box below. Remember you stand to win a prize.
Feeling of being an expert at something!
A feeling involving some sort of purging ritual? Maybe? No? Oh yes, I forgot, that's my definition! LOL
A group of experts who have mastered the fine art of purging. Expergefaction.
Yes, I so agree! I do like the "fine art" touch… it does lend a certain dash of skill to this procedure…?
Your explanation and the pics made me laugh out loud. 😀
Glad to provide some entertainment, Julie! 🙂
The pics say exactly what came to mind when reading expergefaction.
The real definition is: Hiding the truth
…I wonder what truth that could be?
It's a contest you can purge the most.
Ooooh, it sounds like loads of messy fun! Eeew! LOL!
No. No. No. You guys are all wrong. Expergefaction is all about the attempt to get rid of excess clutter. e.g. former fractious boyfriends or girlfriends or last year's skinny jeans because . . .well because of all that Easter candy, that's why.
ex=out
perge (variation in spelling of purge)= cleanse, purify
faction=a group of something
If you gotta blame it on something, then blame it on the candy. Aha! I'm suffering with anti-expergefaction… struggling to get rid of some excess clothing which I haven't put to use in a long time… mmm… maybe some candy will do the trick!
I was thinking along the lines of exorcism and satisfaction. . .
Ridding the world of bacon?
😛
I do love your logic! 🙂
I think it's about getting rid of another faction . . . political, possibly, or just getting rid of a group of people . . .
I know which group I'd like to "expergefact"… the tons of spammers! Aaaaargh!
Michelle,
Finally able to comment! Expergefaction sounds like exactly what you described it as. Funny pics too. 🙂
Were you struggling to post a comment? 🙂
Something I may have done after eating that bad hot dog at the movie.
At least you got rid of it! 🙂
I have to say, I love this theme.
What I know expergefaction to be is THE most expensive spa treatment you can get, that pretty much skins you alive by exfoliating the first layer of your skin with a specialized scraping brush, and then replaces it with a healing emolient that not only heals, but acts to give you a new look. It can even make you a different shade, change some of the muscle formations, and give you a new personality.
Sounds like a highly-advanced-all-in-one-life-changing-spa-treatment! I need me some of that "expergefactionary treatment"! Do you have the secret formula? Lots of money could be made from this.
It's the satisfaction you enjoy from expertly purging your husband's unneeded golf clubs, swimming trophies, and old toothbrushes he swears he will use in the garage.
I think all wives SHOULD experience a "spousal expergefactionary" moment from time to time… it's good for the soul… and good for the spouse too!! 🙂
I don't have anything else to offer here, just chuckling at all the explanations!
I know. I've had such a blast with these!
You're almost right. It's how vomit left at room temperature for a long time turns rancid, putrifies, and eventually becomes rock hard. Where do you think all those "fake" vomit gag-gifts come from? They're real!
Eew! now I have vivid images of "real" gag-gifts…
This is a real word. I'd rather just say "waking up."
Spot on!
EXPERGEFACTION – To get even with the exacerbating expert, the employee rammed a large object up his superior's exterior. Surprisingly, he received a raise.
ROTFL! This encapsulates the essence of the word. In a fun way! 🙂
I like your definition too much to come up with my own! LOL!! 🙂
Come on DL… S-T-R-E-T-C-H that imagination… 🙂
Expergefaction: the tendency of a self-proclaimed 'expert' to pontificate endlessly on their favorite subject.
To me, it sounds like the height of verbosity AND pomposity… *chuckles* Nice one, Lara!
