WTF is a "demonalotor" anyway?

Google reports NO hits, m-w.com lists no definition.

This is what that idiotic goth wannabe claims to “be”.

14) Were you a repressed Catholic schoolgirl?

I wish. It would have made my transformation that much more drastic. I am currently a demonalotor who was raised basically agnostic.)

I don’t think I could roll my eyes enough without detaching a retina.

. . . I think it’s Dumbassian for “poseur.”

I think andros is correct. (Heh. “Dumbassian.”:D)

But I think the Goth chickie was going for a play on the word “idolater”. Butchered it pretty badly, though.

Maybe it’s a play on the word “percolator”.

Well, I’m guessing it’s based on the word “idolater” (alt. sp.="idolator:), one who worships idols. Substituting “demon,” we get “demonolater” (hmm, “A Demon Plaything” misspelled it–quelle surprise)–one who worships demons.

Sadly, I suspect the poor semiliterate child would shit her bloomers if she ever met a real diabolist.

Not quite, gobear. If you substitute “demon” for “idol” in “idolater”, you get “demonater”. Which sounds like it might make a good video game. Or something…:wink:

Well, I myself am a saponificator, bringing the forces of the universe under my control to affect changes in your normal, everyday oils and such. Close friends introduced me to the group, and now we spend most of our time performing our rites and discussing new ways of bringing in other members. Why, you wouldn’t believe what we can do with simple…

Oh, wait, I’m just a soapmaker. Never mind.

I thought it was the number under the numenolator in a fraction…

Demonolatry: Worship of the Demons.

Caution: it reads like it’s straight out of the D&D Player’s Handbook. Where’s my 20-sided die? Roll a saving throw against goth-geeks!

So who’s the demon patron of loser gas station attendants?

Oh, c’mon, you guys know how much fun it is to invent new words. I myself identify as an Underpantsolator.

Demonolatry is the worship of demons

So clearly, this is a serious religion and we must stop mocking these people immediately. Or else they’ll put a curse on us or something.

Fuck 'em, Kamandi; let the little worthless bizarros turn me into a toad. Then I’ll be impressed.

Yeah, you’ll just get better, anyway.

(Okay, so it’s a bit of a stretched reference…)

Some would say it’s an improvement, SPOOFE, but as I type this I still retain human shape, more or less.

The scene is a small home office (otherwise known as mommy’s basement). We see a young gothgirl demonolator sitting in a worn swivel chair, consulting a clipboard as she speaks. Seated on the bed is a demon.

Gothgirl: So, you foster unrest in racially tense environments, and consume the souls of rats and other vermin, yeah?
Demon: Indeed. I also provide aid and succor to racists, but only on weekends.
Gothgirl: Right, well, I’ll get back to ya, okay?

Demon exits, muttering to itself.

Gothgirl: Next!

A slimy demon enters, and perches on the desk.

Slimy: Thou hast summoned me, mortal… Do not waste my time.
Gothgirl: So, tell me about yourself.
Slimy: I am Quimartus the Wretched. I delight in incorrect change, unreadable reciepts, and 45 minute breaks. Also, I enjoy moving small objects horizontally, back and forth, for no apparent reason.
Gothgirl: So, basically, you’re the patron demon of snotty teenage retail clerks, right?
Slimy: Indeed, mortal. Politeness and speed is the bane of my existance, the fly in my ointment, and the tack in my seatcushion.
Gothgirl: Well, I think we could work something out… Can I get back to you early tomorrow?
Slimy: Annoy me not, insignificant fleshling. Those who fail to give me a callback often find themselves cursed with pox, boils, and occasional irregularity.

Slimy Demon disappears in a cloud of roiling green smoke, but can be seen crawling out the door, under cover of the cheap smokebomb.

Gothgirl: Hmmm. Let’s see who’s next on my list…

Stagelights fade, curtain closes. End of Act 1

That was beautiful, Skeezix. Best laugh I’ve had in a while.

I can see the ads now: DemonTree.com – where the demons compete for your worship.

bwa hahahahahaah

Does anyone know the link to that cartoon where 2 boys summon a demon that tries to give them the incorrect change or something like that? Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

Here ya go

In this thread “Demon summoning, is it ever a good idea?” We get the link to this gem.

Ah demons, fun and amusing yes but maybe not too bright.

“Demonalotor”… “Demon-A-Lot-or”… maybe it’s someone who works at the infernal version of Sir Save-A-Lot? :slight_smile:
