Halloween Lexicon

While I am trying to figure out what to pull from the costume bag for Saturday, I am getting in the spirit by reading The Daily Candy's Lexicon: Words That Don't Exist but Should from years past {Halloween Editions}, here are a few favorites:

count mackula
n. The dude who takes advantage of being in costume to hit on anyone and everyone.

costude
n. Air of superiority while wearing a really awesome costume. (Sure, putting rocks in her dress pockets and going as Virginia Woolf was genius, but we could do without the costude.)

boo-bies
n. The effect of constantly being startled by the number of revealing costumes surrounding you. (There’s so much cleavage in this room, I’m getting the boo-bies.)

monster mesh

n. The effect of too-tight fishnets.
