HOGEUSSE

A new addition to the Big Book of Bunkum:

hogeusse (n.) one who throws a stylish swine and cheesy chuckle party just for the heck of it

e.g. A tipsy-topsy, limelight-grabbing childhood spent in a picturesque, hole-in-the-wall country school in Community Punch Bowl, Alberta prompted Sheena Sno-Glow's decision to live the next phase of her life somewhere else -- yup you guessed it -- in Square Butt, Montana ...as a half-corked hogeusse, a part-time gourmet cat food chef, a casual zombie nurse and a celebrated pulp cinema vampire extra in a hugely popular, colorless classic piece of schmaltzy schlock purported to be a 16 mm B-horror flick (with a tight, deep-dark comedy theme, badly dubbed hand-sync'd sound, long-winded if not hard-to-appreciate German sub-titles, translated into broken English and American Sign Language for the hard-of-hearing) as "Hogwash, Ginger Snaps & Trouser Accidents" (and directed by the late Joe-Bob Bigfoot, owner of a modestly priced, little-known, back-water movie boutique referred to in the trade as "The Weeping Waters Film Studio" -- situated in the heart of beautiful downtown Burbank, California).

Contributed by: Ms. Ganges Mondovino, a shy, simpering silent-movie script-writer and twittering tightwad whose last known whereabouts are said to have been something to do with sipping a dry martini while being draped haphazardly over a chaise longue in a rather garrish pink flannel nightgown purchased for $15.00 from "The Cat's Meow Clothes Closet" in of all places, HooHoo (West Virginia)
