Vocabulary Builder -- IV

I could blame Serena Joy and Hale McKay for this.


But why bother: all of the verbicidal abnominations and abysmal linguisticides herein are the product of a thrice-concussed, scam-baiting, no-life person of extensive antecedence with next to nothing to show for it. Save for silly photos and abuse of syntax the likes of Sodang and Gidoerit, or some other pseudo thang I just did something weird with.

Of course, this hyar blog is full of such.
