I liked sexception but I would define it…

sexception (n) – someone who you would have sex with despite it going against your orientation

“Normally I only like girls, but to get my hands on his money I’d make a sexception.”

It brings back the days when New York magazine was GOOD!
Ah, the New York Magazine competition was one of my families foremost MUST HAVES, completely hysterical, and SMART wordplay.
Unfortunately they dropped it, and the magazine is nothing but a fluff publications now.
sad.
But this made me laugh

Ahem…can anyone say plagiarism?

A great number of these winning entries are YEARS old. They appear to be direct lifts from segments of a long running BBC radio show “I’m Sorry I Don’t Have a Clue” and many of their ‘daffynitions’ (as Readers Digest used to call them) are directly from an offshoot publication called the Uxbridge English Dictionary (in publication in the UK but not widely in the States).
