Study up! These will all be on the test.
1. codswallopped, adj. Stunned, as by a blow to the face by a large fish of the genus Galus. Sloppy misappropriation of n. "codswallop," British term of indeterminate origin meaning "nonsense."
Use in a sentence:
"I was codswallopped by the diagnosis of an invasive ductal carcinoma."
2. haded, adj. Abducted to the underworld by a pomegranate-bearing S.O.B. with a seriously funny-looking guard dog. Subject to bouts of intense self-pity alternating with wild hope.
Use in a sentence:
"Don't hade on me, dude."
3. overpantsed, adj. Persuaded by one's suddenly peremptory spouse to wear one's underwear over one's head, "because it will make me laugh, and I need to laugh. Are you really going to deny me this simple request?"
Use in a sentence:
"Some men look quite dashing when overpantsed."
Forza!

p.s. The photo above has persuaded me that a piratical look may be the best option if my lumpy head gets exposed to the elements in the coming months. If a mastectomy proves necessary - still an open question - Pete suggests accessorizing this look with a boob patch rakishly tilted over the conspicuous absence.
p.p.s. Big thanks to Shelley S and Ellen A for inspiration for the above. Big thanks to all for inspiration for the rest.
