Shlarmle - To lie constantly from a position of power.

First thing I thought of when reading this word was: when you are so surprised and alarmed that you spit food or water out of your mouth
That's shalarming to learn.
The bait you use to go fishing for shawarma
It sounds like something someone would make up to pretend to be cultured.
"What's this stuff called." "
"It's, uh, called the 'shlarmle.' It's what they use to lure the shawarma onto the hook before they tire it out and finally reel it in."
Pathetic but cute. Aw, isn't that baby 3 legged frog just shlarmle.
That's fitting. Reminds me of rescue chihuahuas.
The shared sense of alarm, just before a stamped, in herding animals.
e.g.
The air was electric, the shlarmled herd on edge, it felt like a fly landing on an ear would start the stamped.
I read that in Attenborough's voice.
Unimportant caramel.
Caramel shlarmle
Care a mel shlarmle
The colorful milk mix at the bottom of a bowl of fruity cereal after all the crunchy parts are gone.
Homonym #4 of shlarmle: shlarmul
Schlarmlicious
A dog's tongue all flopped out. Or maybe any noodley-shaped animal doing noodely things.
It does remind me of a dog eating pasta.
When you wake up for work after sleeping 2 hours and 28 minutes and you stumble around in the dark looking for your phone which is blasting an alarm over and over.
Honorable mentioned for the sheer specificity.
Sounds like a food
Shlaramel
When life gives you shmarmle, make shmarmalade.
Instructions unclear. We've encountered a worse version of the coconut.
An unorganized pile or collection of unrelated items.
"The top drawer of the desk was a shlarmle of buttons, marbles, pens, and rubber bands."
Looks like you have top commemt. It's cannon now.
Yahoo! Lol
A very incompetent person. In Dutch (Amsterdam) Jiddish the word is schlemiel.
I'm going to make this a homonym of shlarmle: schlarmil
Sounds like it would be a group of schlemiels.
It does have a kind of collective noun vibe to it.
The act of talking around a mouthful of hot food.
Then it's almost onomatopeia at that point. Good take.
It sounds like when a person stammers or mumbles because they're uncertain.
Parent (sternly): What were you doing when the vase fell over?
Child (shlarmling): I was... umm... I was over at the ~hermidgd~...
This has potential.
"Don't you gunchal with me, young man!
it's an antonym for cromulent.
Can we just replace the presidency with Simpsons and Futurama writers?
