But rather than get all pedantic; and regret that our language is deteriorating into a kind of verbal vacuum cleaner that sucks up a mishmash of lexicographical loose ends and dumps it onto us; this entry intends to tap into the creativity behind these new words.
English is a living language; continually attracting new words and adding new meanings to existing words.
And now that newly-coined words have emerged as Challenge topics; I thought we could have some fun and add some new definitions to some familiar words ...
Archeologists: Historians with minimal self-discipline—for they like nothing better than to spend their lives in ruins.
Bullion: One thousand million New Zealand dollars.
Fransz Liszt: An obsesszive-compulszive Hungarian virtuoszo pianiszt and composzer who insiszted on keeping detailed cataloguesz of all hisz muszical maszterpieczes.
Homophone: A word that sounds like … a helpline for people with same-sex attraction.
Like: A word that’s, like, invaded adolescent speech patterns like a, like, punctuation mark; like, whether the rest of us like, like it or not, like.
Novas Kosher: A Canadian province where Jews need never fear how their food has been prepared.
Prima donna: A female entertainer whose insistence on having top-billing is nothing new, for this insistence arose many centuries pre-Madonna.
Silhouette artists: Illustrators who learn their skills the hard way, right from the start they have their work cut out for them.

Won Shu: A Chinese amputee whose missing leg inspired him to write jazz lyrics; his most famous being “One Shoe come home, Bill Bailey.” This song has a very catchy tune - Won Shu get used to it.

It is the most original article I have ever read.
Great writing here, as usual!

There was much laughing and much groaning as I read this article, but no matter how much some of these puns hurt (I mean really, physically, hurt) I couldn't stop reading. Someday you must come to Austin and participate in Punfest (assuming they still do it).
Great job - especially if your goal was to make us roll our eyes and groan. :)

Completely beyond insane! Loved it and always am amazed at your brain and how it functions!!!
