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.
