Word of the Day...

Hello, everybody! :))
I feel honoured, because Alex (almaz) said he liked the definition I had made up for yesterday�s word "houghmagandy"!! Wow, I can hardly believe that it�s my turn to choose the next word, however, here you go:
Scorthoparthenism
I posted it last night (after midnight) for the first time, so this is the second call for those who�ve missed that thread of mine:
http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=22538
Three users have given their hilarious definitions already, and I�m really looking forward to getting some more!!
As usual, don �t post any pictures or definitions from dictionaries, PLEASE! 
Have fun - Silke
PS: don�t forget, the member who posts the funniest / wittiest answer will be in charge of choosing tomorrow�s "Word of the Day"...

Well, this one is quite easy... 
It is a word used for process a growing number of short partially (to some extend) stupid teen girls behaving like non-brainy hens - henism is for "behaving like hens"... Chatting about nonsense, reading rubish teen magazines like Bravo Girl and spending 3 hours in front of a mirror etc.
The good thing is, girls grow up and start to think in a normal way :D

Well, let �s break it down: Scort hop art hen ism
mmm ... let �s see
Scort = place
hop = jump up and down using one leg/foot only
art = skill
hen = chicken
The Scort hens have hopping down to a fine art

Sylvie, you are a wimp!!
You should really try harder, because with that post of yours you �ll definitely not win. However, I promise not to choose you even if your answer is the wittiest one I �ve ever read in this forum!
Is it a deal?? Come ooooooooooooooooon, don �t be such a coward!
