Alternate Dictionary

OK, so I have a habit of making up words on my morning show.  About 10 years or so ago the girl who was doing the show with me decided to write down and define words that got made up on the show.  I completely forgot about this list and happened upon it today in my computer.  So, I've pasted it in here for to expand your vocabularies and provide some new words that you can use on the air. Some of them may actually exist but with different definitions, and I see that my alphabetizing skills aren't exactly perfect either!
