Dehydrato

Posted on 06:01 by hony
Long-time readers of this blog will know that I coined the now-famous term "Godzillionaire" which is defined as a person with a net worth of at least 1 Godzillion dollars.
And, yes, Godzillion is also a TAE trademarked word, meaning "the amount of money required to genetically engineer or irradiate a small lizard so it turns into a 200-foot long, fire-breathing, immortal monster capable of destroying Tokyo yet somehow morally against it." I imagine that would take a lot of money to accomplish.
This google search will reveal that Godzillion and Godzillionaire are used extensively on this site.


Another TAE invented word is "Wallerite" which is "a futuristic bulk material with the mechanical properties of aluminum but the insulative properties of foam board insulation."

There are a few others that I shall not name here. Instead, I'd like to introduce my first musical term. Last night I had a couple beers, and that, combined with a mild cold, woke me up with an incredibly baritone voice. For some reason, when I drink and get dehydrated, I wake up temporarily able to sing lower than I should, at least until my throat gets well lubricated. This makes the morning commute fun, as I can sing a baritone harmony to the radio that normally eludes a person of my tiny stature.
Hence the following phrase: "Ugh, I woke up this morning, and I was singing really dehydrato."

Dehydrato: singing artificially lower than normally possible via dehydration. Common methods for dehydration include binge drinking, chain smoking, or viral infections.
