When we played this game last month, I asked you all to pick your favorite definition. The top two favorites from last month came from Erin at Gonna Kill Him and Sue from The Desperate Housemommy, which is TOTALLY NOT a surprise! I laugh each and every time I read their blogs! If you do not follow these girls, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. They are both very creative and funny writers. They are also both on Twitter at @gonnakillhim and @DHouseMommy. If you like their definitions below, then you'll love their blogs!
GOSSUFL by Sue from The Desperate Housemommy
Gossuffl- (goss-UFF-uhl)- A term which had its birthplace on the endearing TLC series, "John & Kate Plus Eight." In its original form, it was a noun used by viewers when watching scenes in which the family of ten attempted to mobilize and go somewhere as a group, usually with much commotion, crying, and bickering ("Well, would you look at that GOSSUFL up on the TV screen, Harold? That's just craziness!") However, the term morphed itself into a derogatory adjective used to describe Kate's subsequent performances on Dancing with the Stars ("Holy Moly, Patrice! That excuse for a tango was plain GOSSUFL!")
UTEL 6 by Erin from Gonna Kill Him
When a woman's uterus has seen more turnover than a Motel 6. Bed Bug infestation is likely. Erin is really tired of being a Utel 6 so she'd better remember to swallow those stupid pink pills after the birth of this next one.

#12 SNOFALLERRATIONS by
Fine, How Are You?: Pronounced: SNO-FALL-ER-RATIONS: This is when someone exaggerates about the amount of snow that fell AT their house, ON their street. I love when you have driven an hour and 20 minutes in a BLIZZARD and the person at work (where there is about 3 inches of snow on the ground)who lives 5 minutes away says "You can't believe how much snow we have- it's weird it's just on MY street too".

#19 SESSANN by
Taming Insanity: a type of loveseat made popular during the American Revolution. The style was stolen from a French designer, hence the name and pronunciation: sess-On. Amongst the colonists there were many jokes about getting it on on the sessann.
#20 LINGUS by
Mommyshorts: Obviously, we all know that lingus is the second half of the rather racy yet unsexily technical term, _______lingus (
Kelley interjection: I'm such a Girl Scout sometimes and like to keep this blog PG-13. All you smart people know just what Mommyshorts means! Ha!). It is also used as the second half of Ireland's national airline, Aer Lingus. So, as far as I can tell, there is only one place where a sex act and an Irish airline overlap. Therefore, LINGUS must mean "transporting to a higher place while the people involved are commonly intoxicated".
#21 UTERAREA by
Days: Technical term for the general area of stomach flab where the uterus has expanded and contracted and expanded and contracted which no longer looks like it did before pregnancy. Accentuated by "mom jeans." Synonym: Front Butt.

**If you missed the game this month, we'll play again on January 12th. The schedule for the game can be found by clicking the Captcha Balderdash tab in the navigation bar at the top.**
Apparently, there are hermit crabs that come out of their shells, like these crabs on the left at the CRABBY FAMILY REUNION last year. They decided to have the reunion at the beach, which I think was a fantastic idea. Can you see Hermit, Abby, Flabby, Gabby and Stabby?!? They're the ones who started The Clinic for Hermit Crabs with Social Anxiety Disorder (TCHCWSAD). Because of their wisdom and relentless research, a few high twos were able to be exchanged between the cousins, aunts and uncles at the reunion. The progress in the treatment of hermit crab anxiety also explains the pincher-shaking going on in this picture, which is absolutely a giant LEAP for crabbykind, as you might guess. 
BESSEAT: The most desirable place to seat in any location. If it's in the car, it's the passenger side. Everyone knows it is better to be driven than to drive, if the driver isn't a nincompoop and has any kind of sense. This gives you time to sing and sway to your favorite songs better, time to read your magazines, time to check e-mail on your iPhone, etc. Obviously, if your kids are in the car, THAT'S ALL OUT THE WINDOW. If it's at home, it's on the toilet. Even if you are sitting on the top of the toilet with the lid closed, you are alone in your own space for at least 3 solid minutes of quiet bliss if you can time your escape just right.
