this homonym on the verge of onomatopoeia was created in the bathroom of the bottleneck (lawrence KS) during smackdown trivia night in 2003. my friend karen and i were in there on a break. from the stall next to me came some of the loudest popping like clapping gas. i looked down and recognized the shoes of another teammate whom neither of us knew very well. i was flattered she felt close enough to us to carry on like that and at the same time shocked she made no effort to avoid making such noise. when the bathroom emptied i grabbed karen and made some big eyes at her. big eyes like googly eyes. eyes that shouted who the fuck is THAT cavalier? when we were the only ones left in there i told karen how i avoid that whole production. i roll up about a fistfull of toilet paper and put it on the surface of the water. then i make another puffy pillow and hold it against my body. it captures the prelude. muffles it until things begin to move. that little pillow is my muffaletta.
contextual use:
-
“…just like a padded office chair, the muffaletta captures secret emissions unbeknownst to the people around you.”
-
“…for god’s sake–make a muffaletta.”

I totally forgot the Bottleneck incident. I thought that this spawned from our first “date” at that Italian place in Top City. You’re totally right, though. I remember this now.

spend extended time in women’s public bathrooms and see if you can stand the natural gas bitches.
