DAILY CANDY LEXICON VI

   This is in today's NEW YORK SUN.  I've posted previous Daily Candy
Lexicons--see its web site.  It's the usual mixed bag of words.

crappuccino:
A poorly made coffee beverage that cost upwards of four dollars.

smellibacy:
A state of involuntary celibacy brought on by bad hygiene. (Jake has only
himself to blame. His three-year dry spell is a clear case of smellibacy.)

puppy stuff:
Euphemism for the goo that collects in the corner of one's eye, esp. after
sleeping.

bust bust:
To be busted by your significant other for staring at another woman's
breasts.

tart fuel:
Girlie drinks. e.g., cosmos, kirs, or anything that tastes like Kool-Aid.

phone zit:
The recurring chin zit that results from spending too much time on the phone.


BIN:
Acronym for "booger in nose." Used to covertly ask a friend "Do I have a
bin?"

yellular:
The loudness one adopts in response to a bad cell-phone connection, in the
misguided hope that talking louder will improve the connection. (I'm so
embarrassed. I went totally yellular at a restaurant last night.)
