one of Mark Morford’s definitions
I gleefully shot off one of Mark Morford’s definitions to The Lorax this morning, who paused briefly to consider the carnage, then picked up the ball o’puns and ran with it:
InkGrrl: I think this is my new favorite word ;->
bedizen \bi-‘d-zen, -“di-\ verb transitive (1661) – To dress or adorn gaudily
bedizenment – noun
Usage example: Bedizened in nothing but enormous peacock feathers and a latex thong and pink stilettos and way, way too much eye makeup, a very loaded Lynne Cheney suddenly burst into the nuclear strategy meeting and flung open her arms and yelled, “Do me now you warmongering slug-monkeys!”
The Lorax: you’re referring to “slug-monkeys,” right?
InkGrrl: bedizen, bedizen, bedizen… ack. I’m out of sequins.
The Lorax: you just suffered a sequinsing error
