7. mannequin (aren't they almost always women?)
Altoona is always ostracized. Family member used to live there and when I visited, I thought it was very nice, lots of stuff to do. Added bonus, Altoona offers every fast food chain in the world. Some good restaurants too.

17. Depends...
Edited on Thu Jan-01-09 07:27 PM by Chan790
on who's deciding:

Funny only to a 12 year old by with a dirty mind: Nudiustertian The day before yesterday.

Strangest definition: Tyrotoxism To be poisoned (or killed (colloquial)) by cheese.

Visually-evocative: Widdiful Adjective describing someone who deserves to be hanged.

My favorite: Scopperloit To play in a rude manner.

Edit: HTML fix.
