new word people


portamentoed noun
  1. a combination of shock and terror upon a ghastly sight.
  2. a startling appearance of a terrifying outside factor: a picture, a ghost, a hideous creature, a mirror.
  3. a bothersome state/phase after a disturbing spectacle. 

History:
The other night, Nicole downloaded The Drums’ Portamento album and it came with a pdf file which she opened in haste. Behold is the album cover, fullscreened, in HD! Scared the shit out of her. She didn’t work in the mornings after, the image of Johnny’s red eyes, the cross hanging on a sinister wallpapered wall, the eerie feel of southern devotees creeping into her head every single time. Needless to say, she was badly portamentoed!   

Now, go and spread the word. Pun intended.
