In the Tradition of “Spork”
In the same tradition that created words like fantabulous, chillax, spork, and the official viscom term “badvertising” I now introduce to you the word “broasted.” Allow me to break down this word mathematically:
( bake + roasted ) – better things to do = broasted
I’m all for creating words but this one seems to be lacking creativity. It seems like someone got a little lazy that faithful day in 1954. Allow me to paint a mental picture. Imagine a dimly lit board room. Cigarette smoke permeates the air as ice jingles in a glass of scotch.
“Gentleman, we have this delicious chicken. What should we call it?”
“Well, it’s baked…”
“But it’s also roasted…”
“My God! That’s brilliant!”
That being said, I must admit that broasted chicken is quite tasty. If I didn’t know any better, I would assume that it was fried. So look it up and give it try and use a spork!
