Three Word Wednesday: conniption, janky, scooch

What the hell? Aside from "conniption", these aren't even real words! Nevertheless, I play the cards I'm dealt.

The Three Words for today are: conniption, janky, scooch

I know that this poem is janky,
A conniption caused by hanky-panky
Thom pulled with these Three
(worse than Scooch on TV!)
Maybe next week's words won't be so wanky

Click to enlarge, because they are SO DARN CUTE!


"Wanky" isn't a real word either, but I figured turnabout is fair play.

Note: Thom defines these words thusly:
conniption; noun: a bad tantrum. One has a conniption or conniption fit.

janky; adjective: broken or functioning poorly or improperly; messed up.

scooch; verb: to move over, or to scoot.

Oi.

Also, for my "One Shot Wednesday" friends, the poems here never really get any better than this. Sorry.

    LOL!

    And Thom said, poets will not have it easy. What does HE know?!

    I too did not feel cranky!

    Great minds think alike, and there was no HANKY PANKY. Funny piece.

    Very funny. I never knew Scooch was the name of a band; they seem incredably perky. In Thom's defense "scooch" is a word. It's used affectionately when you want to sit next to someone (scooch over hon, let me sit on the couch).

    I think most of us just wanted to prove ThomG wrong. On the down side, he'll probably do it again and make it more difficult.

    Good, job, Tony.

    I hadn't heard janky before, but scooch and conniption fits are straight from my childhood. So they've been around a very long time. If they're not real words, they should be.

    Enjoyed how you met this week's challenge.
