Botch means to stuff it up.

The way that Jeff made a complete botch of the cake meant that Sally gave him a brutal teasing.

The brutal slaying of Little Bo Peep was essentially a botch job, the real target being a Miss Mary Mack who by all accounts dresses in black.


this is fun

I was being clean and concise.

I thought I'd give the garyroland style a go.


Now, get back to heating your water.

Ralph's strange predilection for pungent limburger and garlic sandwiches kept him in constant trouble with his roommates.

i was munching on some pungent chocolate the other day, having a predilection for things which bring about catharsis. when i spotted a yeti trying to filch something from a nearby satchel. the owner of the satchel saw him and a brouhaha erupted. in the ensuing imbroglio, the yeti was brutal but in the end his attempts were botched by a policeman who had recently contracted pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoiosis.

Pungent is the strong odor you have. It's a predilection of mine that I believe you have a pungent odor...

Eh, so maybe it ain't just one sentence, but it should probly work...

There once was a yeti,
Who got into a slight imbroglio.
While the brouhaha was petty,
It left him with a brutal portfolio.

No catharsis was effective,
So on chocolate he did munch,
So he grabbed hold of a satchel,
And began to filch a whole bunch.

But too much candys a botch,
And combined with his Scotch,
Not even hypnosis,
Could relieve his pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoiosis.

It'll get more creative as more words are added to the mix

EDIT: Misspelled a word

tim wants me to use brouhaha and imbroglio in a sentence for "double points" but he doesn't say who's keeping track of the points he's giving out? someone probably filched the points table from his satchel and gave them to a yeti with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoiosis. but further attempts to take the points table back were botched by the thieves he hired, who were incredibly brutal but unsuccessful.

I figure we can get some creative juices flowing that ISN'T the lyrics association thread...

I'll put out a word of the day, and in an effort to build vocabulary for everyone y'alls try and use it in a sentence. Simple enough Some words you've heard of, others you haven't, and some are just cool to say.

We'll start out with words that everyone has heard of before

Word of the day: Botch
Double points if you use it in a sentance with Brutal.

The imbroglio certainly caused a brouhaha.


Tim, you just make it easy having related words .

Me thinks these were in my 10th grade vocab book .

He opened the door and braced himself, only to be confronted by Susan the Swan and her beau, Sam, who were embroiled in a huge brouhaha of their own... just what he needed, another imbroglio!

It was a cute story, so I just had to add onto it.

Ferdinand the frog had been trying desperately to steer clear of the political brouhaha of the Willow Creek Rowing Club elections, but alas when he awoke the following morning to a bunch of demonstrative ducks outside his bedroom window, he realised there was no escaping the ensuing imbroglio.

He opened the door and braced himself....



(C'mon, guys! lets make these things interesting. I KNOW there are some creative writers out there!
Forget trying to use all of the words, you are all just making incredibly jumbled sentences! i have to read them 3-4 times to get them to sit right!)

These could get to be REALLY long sentences...

The catharsis was evident to me when the munching sounds in the walls got louder...

She felt a great catharsis come over her as she munched her way thru the munchably delicious chocolate bar. "If only that yeti hadn't filched my satchel I would never be in this position" she thought.

As the yeti climbed to the top of the montain, the peak beneath him exploded as the volcano/mountain erupted with great force...he had contracted pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoiosis by the time he hit the ground!

Hmmm....a whole new idea of a test...use all that week's words of the day in one sentence...

It is not good to botch the plan if you are going to filch chocolate from the satchel of a yeti because, if he's been nibbling on it, you may contract a brutal case of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoiosis.



The sentence is in passive tone since I wasn't sure, but can I use variations of the words, such as possessives, plurals, or past tenses?

the thief filched the yeti's satchel, but didn't realize that pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoiosis was contagious and so he died.

The sly thief filched a handful of gems from the wealthy gentleman's pocket and slipped them into his own satchel before dashing off.
