5. Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent.

6. Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which

you absent-mindedly answer the door in your nightgown.

7. Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.

8. Gargoyle (n.), an olive-flavored mouthwash.

9. Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.

10. Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline.

11. Testicle (n.), a humorous question on an exam.

12. Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified demeanor assumed by a proctologist immediately before he examines you.

Hey, these are funny. Pokemon especially. But what is the real definition of Frisbeetarianism? A simple websearch yields only the funny answer above (George Carlin being one example, which makes sense since it sounds like a Carlinism).
