And the winners are...

2. Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.
3. Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

11. Oyster (n.), a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddish expressions.
12. Pokemon (n), A Jamaican proctologist.

Just for laughs -- don't feel the need to comment -- unless you'd like to vote for your favorite word. No pressure.
