    Hope you don't mind, w. bogart, but I have a second definition:

    Paradox - Two doctors.

    (A paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox ...) ;)

    Lemonade - Lemuel Gulliver is now on call to render assistance.

    One more ...

    Coupon - An incomplete sentence. What is the coup on? More information, please.

    ... whereof comes the famous saying, "Wonky, twoky, threeky, door"? ;)

    Wonton - A veritable truckload of the monetary unit of North and South Korea (each equal to 100 chon).

    Chinese junk - What happens when a Chinese man removes his unmentionables.

    Sloop - Like slop, but on the sea.

    Cat o' nine tails - What happens when Dr Frankenstein starts messing about with the biology of other species.

    He tried it with dogs too, but the dog o' nine tails was far too friendly, and refused to bite the postman, which was obviously useless to a mad scientist. (Its tail-wagging also constantly knocked beakers and other fragile objects off the tables in the lab, which is another reason why the species didn't go beyond the prototype).

    Could there be a synonym of this -- as in "skulldiggery"? :)

    Jiggery-pokery. Getting drunk before playing poker. Not recommended. Look what Jack McCall did when he got drunk.

    Also see: Chug-a-luggery-pokery.

    Vino, Video, Vinci Code: like Caesar's famous saying, but more prosaic. The mid-2000s equivalent of "Netflix and Chill".

    Promethean: a person who is pro-methamphetamines. Don't ask me why.

    Innovation:
    a. in the process of clapping;
    b. in the process of renovating an inn.

    Exasperation: an aspiration that has ceased to be.

    Mud Cake: you tripped and dropped a large pastry in the mud. You klutz, you.

    Cheesed Cake: uh-oh ... the cake is angry. *backs away*

    Coconut: the latest utterly craaaazy design from Coco Chanel. Whoops!

    Marble Cake: it's inedible, but I just made a statue out of it.

    Pound Cake: how can they make a profit on this thing when they sell it for only £1?

    Creamed Cake: it lost. Badly.

    Strawberry-short Cake: I couldn't find any enough strawberries in the market, so I had to make do.

    (Sorry this went on for so long. Once I started looking into cakes, I couldn't help it) ;)

    Here's another one. (Sorry for the rant afterwards). *blush*

    Masochismo. Like machismo, but with a touch of masochism into the bargain.

    An example would be the kind of men that complain the "hot wings" are not hot enough, even though they are coated with - deep breath time - pepper, ginger, crushed jalapenos, a puréed ghost pepper, and just a drop of Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce. :eek:

    These men keep insisting that the wings are not hot enough, even while drinking a glass of milk while wheezing with tears running down their faces.

    (Personally, guys like that confuse the 'heck' out of me. What's the point of eating something so spicy that you burn off all your taste buds? And you'll be feeling it for weeks afterwards?

    I mean, seriously? No-one's fooled, and no-one cares how macho you think you look. Stop hurting yourselves, please.

    Of course these remarks aren't intended towards people who like spicy food. ;) I like some spice myself, in moderation. I'm only thinking of that peculiar hard-core, who seem to equate achievement with acute, intense, exquisite agony. :rolleyes:

    Speaking of spicy food, I tried making Buffalo wings and they turned out excellent. :) Spicy, sure, but just enough to feel it - not spicy enough to strip the paint off the walls ...) :D

    Sorry for the double-post, but this one just occurred to me ...
