UBIQUITOUS

• Yo mommas so ubiquitous, when she sits around
  the house, she sits around the house!
• U-biq-ui-tous (yoo BIK wi tuhs) adj. being or
  seeming to be everywhere at the same time
• Ubiquitous does not mean fat or huge, but rather
  seemingly everywhere. Paris Hilton is
  ubiquitous. Jerry Bruckheimer is ubiquitous it
  seems like his name is attached to every movie or
  TV show that comes out. Ubiquitous advertising
  helped turn the iPod into a phenomenon. Nothing
  is more ubiquitous than Starbucks you cant walk
  ten feet without hitting one. Starbucks is so
  ubiquitous that one day, you might see a
  Starbucks in the Lincoln Memorial, or in your
  home, or even in another Starbucks. Ubiquity or
  ubiquitousness is the noun, though both are
  anything but ubiquitous you rarely see the noun
  form.

EMACIATED

• Yo mommas so emaciated, she can hula hoop in a
  Fruit Loop.
• E-ma-ci-a-ted (i MAY shee ay tid) adj. very
  thin, especially from disease, hunger, or cold
• Emaciated isnt just skinny. Its too skinny,
  unhealthy-looking, skeletal. Think Olsen twins,
  supermodels, Gollum from Lord of the Rings, and
  Ally McBeal. Gandhis hunger strike left him
  emaciated. In Hollywood, there are a lot of
  hunger strikes without the causes, so to speak,
  spurring some social critics to declare that we
  live in an Emaciation Nation. The dying,
  withering-away look has become in vogue, a trend
  that could make you conclude that Americas soul
  is currently emaciated.

4
PALLID

• Yo mommas skin is so pallid, snowflakes leave
  stain marks.
• Pal-lid (PAL id) adj. pale, usually as a result
  of poor health lacking vitality
• The good thing about the word pallid is that it
  resembles the word pale, and it actually means
  pale. Normally, a question like that on the
  SAT tries to trick you by offering a multiple
  choice answer that sounds like the word, but
  actually isnt the right definition. You get so
  fed up, you start filling in the answer sheet DC
  CAB, DC CAB and so on. But pallid is pale and,
  as such, can mean lacking in radiance or
  vitality dull (pallid prose, for example).

5
HIRSUTE

• Yo mommas so hirsute, she bathes with a Rug
  Doctor!
• Hir-sute (hur SUIT or HUR suit) adj. hairy
  covered with hairs
• The easiest way to remember what hirsute means is
  to think of hair suit. It means hairy. Very
  hairy. King Kong is hirsute. Austin Powers got
  a lot of comic mileage with an overly hirsute
  chest. Since he was a character unfrozen from
  the 1960s, he was convinced that women loved his
  hirsuteness, but alas, its a new millennium.
  The character Borat has hirsute thighs, two words
  you seldom want to see together.

6
VORACIOUS

• Yo mommas so voracious, her blood types Ragu.
• Vo-ra-cious (vuh RAY shus) adj. wanting vast
  quanities of food having a huge appetite for
  anything
• If your momma has a voracious appetite, she is
  always hungry. She looks at the menu and says,
  Yes. She eats Wheat Thicks. In a more general
  sense, voracious can mean having a rampant
  appetite for any pursuit or activity. Yo momma
  could devour crossword puzzles voraciously.
  Cereal mascots have insanely voracious appetites
  for their product, almost to the point of
  addiction. You often hear the term voracious
  reader to describe someone who devours books
  figuratively speaking, of course. You seldom
  hear the term voracious television watcher,
  though, in truth, there are far more of those.

7
CORPULENT

• Yo mommas so corpulent, when her beeper goes
  off, people think shes backing up.
• Cor-pu-lent (CORE pyoo luhnt) adj. excessively
  fat, portly, stout
• Corpulence is a growing problem with todays
  youth, according to many recent studies. Heres
  a quick test if the sports you play involve hand
  controls and looking at a TV screen, you might be
  at risk of becoming corpulent. Many sitcoms
  feature corpulent men orbited by beautiful,
  emaciated women. Just like in real life.
  Despite its meaning, there is something
  polite-sounding about the word corpulent, making
  this insult sound almost dignified. It just goes
  to show you that the sound of a word, as well as
  its meaning, can create effect.

8
MALAPROPISM

• Yo-Yo Ma is so fat, he has to hold his breath to
  play his cellowait a second. Thats not right.
  These are yo momma jokes, not Yo-Yo Ma jokes.
  Shoot, we always get those confused! Some of
  you may know that Yo-Yo Ma is a renowned
  classical cellist. We just made a particular
  kind of mistake. Its called a malapropism.
• Mal-a-prop-ism (MAL uh prop iz uhm) n.
  ridiculous misuse of a word, especially by
  confusing it with one that sounds similar
• A malapropism is so called after Mrs. Malaprop, a
  character noted for her amusing misuse of words
  in a play youll never see by a person you dont
  need to know about. Examples of malapropisms can
  be found in the character Ali Gs request, Lets
  talk about a very tattoo subject (ie taboo) or,
  proving fact is funnier than fiction, in Mike
  Tysons genius idiocy I might just fade into
  Bolivian, you know what I mean? (ie oblivion).

9
LARGESSE

• Yo momma possesses such largesse, shed give me
  the hair off her back.
• Lar-gesse (lar JESS) n. generosity in giving
• No, this word is not related to hirsute. Someone
  who displays largesse is always giving stuff to
  people or to causes. (It can also be spelled
  without the last E, good news if your hand gets
  tired toward the end.) Although it doesnt have
  to be used this way, theres often an implied
  degree of showiness handcuffed to largesse,
  something Trumpian and flamboyant about the
  generosity. As in, nobody disputes the value of
  your gift, buddy, but somehow this gift seems to
  be more about you than the recipient. Consider
  the largesse of political lobbyists, who give
  billions of dollars to political honchos in hopes
  of cultivating favorable legislation for their
  many causes. Or take Sean Penn giving his time
  to help Hurricane Katrina victims, while his
  publicist just happened to be around to record
  his noble largesse. Here is a way to remember
  largesse
• Sometimes Shady Selflessness

10
EGREGIOUS

• Yo momma is so egregiously stupid, she told me to
  meet her on the corner of Walk and Dont Walk.
• E-gre-gious (i GREE juhs) adj. horrifically
  terrible, shockingly bad
• Egregious means the worst of the worst. If
  youre an egregious liar, you are the worst kind
  of liar. New Coke was an egregious marketing
  mistake. Janet Jackson had an egregious wardrobe
  malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl. Michael
  Jackson showed an egregious lapse in judgment
  when he dangled his baby over a hotel balcony in
  Paris. (We could go through the whole Jackson
  family and effectively demonstrate uses of the
  word egregious, but lets move on.) Authur James
  Frey tangled himself in a web of egregious deceit
  by claiming his work of fiction, A Million Little
  Pieces, was a memoir. Mel Gibsons drunk
  comments about Judaism were egregiously
  offensive. And speaking of
• Five egregiously misspellings of Hanukkah
  Chanukaha, Ghananka, Chunkyka, Honkeykah,
  Donkykong

PROSTRATE

• Yo mommas so ugly, her psychiatrist makes her
  lie prostrate!
• Pros-trate (PRAHS trayt) adj. lying face-down
  and flat helpless exhausted v. to fling
  oneself down as if in submission to make
  helpless to exhaust physically
• Picture COPS on TV. Sometimes when they catch
  shirtless bad guys, they force them face-down on
  the ground before handcuffing them. That
  position, pre-cuffing, is a prostrate one, or one
  of prostration. Sometimes, the criminal will
  prostrate himself since he knows the cops have
  guns and pepper spray. There can also be a more
  figurative meaning to signify that a certain
  person, group, or situation has been crippled or
  exhausted Legend has it that Led Zeppelin
  prostrated the staff of pretty much every hotel
  they stayed in.
