Speedo Shock Syndrome (noun) \spee-doh shok sin-drohm\ – A female’s irrational fear of laying eyes upon a male in a Speedo swimsuit who is not an Olympic gold medalist swimmer or a Chippendale’s dancer.
Example: When the sexy European she had been chatting with on the beach stripped down to his Speedo to sunbathe, Kim shielded her eyes with her arms and fled to the sand dunes, as if the sight of his bikini-clad body would turn her to stone.
Can you use this word in a sentence?
Ah, Jef, this brings to mind the time, when my brother and I were walking down a beach in Israel and saw a red-haired part-werewolf in nothing but a Speedo. I mean the man was COVERED in curly red fur, errr, I mean hair. Clearly it scarred me for life…
Samantha, I’m still trying to imagine a red-haired part-werewolf on a beach in Israel; I’ll have to get back with you later on the rest of the sentence.
Shouldn’t that be anyone’s irrational fear? I’d probably run screaming if I saw David Hasselhoff ambling towards me wearing a speedo.
Perhaps, Greg, but I’d probably just laugh and point.
