A New Word

—


Karl opened a bottle of Mountain Dew this afternoon, it erupted all over him, and he squealed like a little girl. Apparently, it was cold.

We all laughed at him. Benjamin said, “Did it ricospill on you?”

We all laughed some more.

It’s been a good Sunday.

Ricospill (can be used as a noun or verb) occurs when your beverage comes back at you with force; a (mis)use of the word ricochet.

    I’m going to disagree with “squealed like a girl.”And it WAS cold.
