New word Wednesday: Scandicap

Because my words are obviously too good for the crap at Urban Dictionary, all future additions that I make to the lexicon will be done here.

I've been thinking about my latest creation for some time. It finally came to me as I left the grocery store after standing in line behind a girl who took 5 minutes to buy a gallon of milk and some bananas.

scan · di · cap; n. –pped — Mental/physical ailment that prevents individuals from completing commercial transactions using self-service checkout lines or kiosks.

I'm sorry I took so long at the grocery store. I was stuck behind some scandicapped people.

It's a gift, I tell you.

Of course, we already have 'stupid' for this situation, but it's always good to have options. :)

This word rules. I keep on getting to apply it in real-world, everyday situations--specifically, situations revolving around the express self-check line at the Sqirrel Hill Giant Eagle. Today alone, I've been able to use it twice, in two separate situations.

Damn, apparently I'm posticapped. Um, the second one is the one I was aiming to post.
