Aren't those out of the Sniglets books, or something? I *know* I've heard those definitions before.

EDIT: They must be, I have Sniglets and More Sniglets at home, and PUPKUS is in there, LOL.

There are some other definitions in the Sniglets books that are really, really classic.

There's one for the act of flailing your arms around wildly while doing pirouettes because you've run into a spider web in the middle of your yard.

PUPKUS is actually a word we use in my house, LOL.
