I lost July

It's been almost a month since you last heard from me. I would apologize, but this is not the first time I've taken a long unexplained hiatus, and it won't be the last. 
So I'm just going to tell you to man up. MAAAAAN UP.  What? I don't care if you're not a man! MAYNE up then!

dis mayne's pretty high already
I think and say addictive 'words' every day. I do the same ones often because they are addictive. Let's go through an example, and you're going to like it:

About 10 minutes ago, I made up "bumberos". I don't bother looking it up on search engines or dictionaries to see if its an actual word because I'm an independent, well read adult who don't need no validation from others. I give it an espanol*-esque pronunciation, "bomb - bear - ohsu". That makes it seem like it should have an O instead of a U, but I don't change it.

I immediately yell it out loud OHOOOOOOO BOMBBEEEEEEHHRRROOOOOSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Then, I type it in chat to the first random buddy on my contacts list. You will typically get a response of "wuh?" or "wuzzat meen?" but occasionally your hapless victim conversational partner will be cool and jam with you. Don't go overboard though, it could end up like this:

friend: woburdee wansteeum
me:     haberdasher halloway
friend: zumba zilterskreaktesh
me:     avaricious angstromees
friend: lovable leeches
me:     sordid soirees
friend: crackernuckles custard

And that's how new words are born.

The workers of the world are probably pissed because I have the luxury and time to scrawl this drivel all over the web. Rightfully so too.

*As you may already know, 'espanol' is an aboriginal word in the Congolese dialect Bahasa meaning "chumpstick".
