2. That night, Garrett went banshing around in the fields behind his house. His car got stuck.

@banurpulate:= The only reason this word exists is that it sounds like what it means: to change, rearrange, fiddle with, alter with the (vague) hope of correcting a problem.

Example: Can't get the VCR to work, eh? Lemme see that remote, I'll just banurpulate the channel settings a bit.

@BAPS:= Blame Allocation and Persecution System.

Also known as configuration managemenent/traceability strategy.

Refers to a method of looking up who caused a particular problem and providing evidence with

which to humiliate said person(s).

Example: Chris said he never touched the printing code, but according to BAPS he broke it on the 24th.

@Bapticostal:= A person with mixed religous backgrounds, specifically of Baptist and Pentecostal origins.

Example: In the black church We got the Baptists, we got the Pentecostals then you have the Bapticostals!

@bar wallet:= The proliferation of one dollar bills that is the usual result of a night out on the town.

Example: I'll get the tip. I've got plenty of ones--bar wallet from last night.

@barbarian method:= To fix an imperfection of mechanical nature using brute force--i.e., a hammer. See the tool.

Example: We were surprised at his speed repairing the car using the barbarian method.

@barbecue:= (n) 1. Toilet paper. The honest-to-God's truth: Earlier today my wife and I were driving around. I needed to stop by a branch of our bank to make a deposit. I said, I'll go to the bank at Wal-Mart.... I need to pick up some barbecue. She gave me a puzzled look and asked, Barbecue? I said, I have no idea why I said 'barbecue.' I meant to say 'toilet paper.' I must have just read a sign that said 'barbecue.' Oh well, I'll just add 'barbecue' to the pseudodictionary today and give it the meaning 'toilet paper.' Then what I said makes sense.

2. (N) a non sequitur. (V) To barbecue is to produce a non sequitur orally or in writing.

Example: You submit a word to the pseudodictionary. After receiving your email notification from Paul and Garret that your word has been added, you click on the link to surf to the site, you're filled with anticipation--you know the thrill you'll experience when you see your word...your description!...your example!!...in an online dictionary!!! You think, ohmigod! i'll be famous! (Many of the pseudodoctrinati think in lower case. Paul McFedries of www.logophilia.com might refer to them as shiftless thinkers.) Then, 'Ello, this isn't the example I submitted! It's been pseudoctrinated!! Asshole editor!!! You then send an email, asking the editor why he changed what you wrote--perhaps even *demanding* that he tell you why he changed your artful use of language. A response you might get follows the ////////// below. Other ways the editor may use barbecue: (1) Barbecue. This is the editor's shorthand response for I don't know. My brain must have left the building before I did. (2) Barbecue? The always polite Damned if I know why I changed it. Did your brain perhaps leave the building before you did? I know that happens to me the BFOer I get. Are you sure you wrote what you think you did? OR (appearing in your entry when it's added) Is this what you meant to say? It looks to me as if it may be a non sequitur. (3) Flame the editor? Barbecue! will mean something like Fuck you...and the horse you rode in on or Go set *yourself* on fire. That is to say, in no uncertain terms, the editor is not going to antagonize his wife and get into arguments with her about his wasting his time arguing with you. He's far too wily for that. Also too BFO. ////////// I don't know why I had difficulty understanding it. Everything else you sent in was very clear. Maybe your original example had a barbecue in it? OR Did you barbecue your description? Your example?

@Barbofski:= Huge mustaches or people that wear them.

Example: You know the stocker over at K-Mart? You know, that dude with the barbofski and worn-out leather jacket.

@bard:= Something bad, or not good.

Example: _Dawson's Creek_ is bard.

@barf lies:= When you have overindulged in alcoholic beverages and, between conversations with the white queen, you tell yourself or anyone else who will listen that you'll never do this again. Word derived from my clever insertion of a space into barflies.

Example: Ed: I thought you said you'd never drink whiskey again. Ted: No, that was just barf lies.

@barfogenic:= That which causes one to regurgitate--sickening, nauseating.

Example: A movie about murder can be detailed and even graphic without being barfogenic.

@barfulous:= adj., Said of something that would make someone barf (or be violently sick).

Example: 1. The girls living next door to me thought that the flattened squirrel in our road was truly barfulous.
