A little over a year ago, in another blog, I created an entry about the South Beach diet.  AS a cute and cuddly way to express my feelings about it by the end of the four months that we were following it very strictly, I made up obscene mad-libs.

     You know…like.

     “Wow.  This diet really (verbs)  donkey  (nouns).”

     Well, the practice caught on in at least one friend’s household.  I got an e-mail from my friend Taylor in Chicago informing me that their household had started saying “verb donkey nouns” as a way of cleaning up their language around their toddler.

     A friend who is a DJ at a club picked it up and used it in her spiel, and it brought the house down.

     That is sooooo cool!
