Litnet's version of Devil's dictionary

Job: This guy who got stuck in the belly of a whale...Oh, OK, I won't do it. Job: A bleedin' annoying waste of time, a soul-killing consignment to drudgery, a bleak exhaustion of one's life's energy...I'll stop there, eh what? Let's hope the bots and AIs take over all the labor soon, leaving us free to sip tea and play The Sims IV: Unlicensed Surgery.

And your definition of résumé was cute, tailor--lying to get an honest job. ;-) But you neglected the word I proffered.

I edited my post and answered a question you posed (previous page). :)

Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),
tailor STATELY

And by the way, Jonah was the dude in the whale, Job was the guy who lost everything and stayed true to God. I would say the man with patience, but whoever thought up the terms "the patience of Job" obviously never read the book!

Squash: To ruthlessly dismiss an idea, such as someone's definition of a word! hee! Just Kidding!

Nobody:

Puréed: Take your favorite food groups, such as, pizza, donuts or ice cream, and put them in a food processor. There should be a button somewhere to start the food processor. Press it. Don’t forget to put the lid on the processor before you press the start button. Find the stop button or be ready to pull the plug. It probably doesn’t matter when you actually press the stop button because the damage has been done as soon as you pressed the start button. What you ultimately get has been puréed. This will explain why you don’t need a food processor.

Food Processor:

Food processor: My stomach.

Bustier (the garment, not 'busty-er', although you're welcome to make all manner of bawdy puns if you wish--god knows I would)

Bustier: A form fitting female garment based on the scientific principle that if you blow up a balloon and then squeeze it appropriately around the middle the resulting bulges on the unsqueezed area will attract attention.

Squeeze:

Answering my own posted word:

Nobody: The person most blamed for the errors of humanity

Squeeze: 1) To grasp tightly until whatever you are holding bulges out around your hands 2) Significant other "Martha is my main squeeze."

Significant:

Significant: The portion of the female anatomy which becomes prominent when the female in question is squeezed by a bustier is the more heavenward of two portions most significant to males.

Mating:

Mating: One of the many features of a living organism that guarantees it is not a respectable machine.

Dude/Dudette:

Dude/Dudette: New generation all purpose word, generally meaning mate

Infamous:

Infamous: What happens to bad guys when they get their pictures on Wanted posters.

Bad Guy:

Bad Guy: Ironically, one who is often enough the good guy, but who, because his superior nature threatens the status quo, is labeled the bad guy. Not to be confused with Bald Guy. History is replete with bald heroes and villains alike. I mean, Captain Picard and Professor X were both bald. (See, that was a little joke. Do try and keep up, lads.)

Rug:

Rug: the last resort of a bald guy.

Penguinone

Penguinone: It may look like a penguin, but it sure doesn't smell like a penguin.

Cummingtonite:

Cummingtonite: Found in the adult section of your nearest cave.

Interrobang:
