Shampoo Bowl

Misunderstoodup (mĭs'ŭn-dər-stʊd'ŭp)

v.

Past tense and past participle of a broken same day social engagement which could only have resulted from a misunderstanding, right? I mean, the first meeting is way too early for the classic 'it's not you/it's me', no?

adj.

1. A mystical division of language regarding the initial meeting of a potential luv connection incorrectly understood or interpreted whereby one party hears "Saturday/I'll call you with the time", and the other party is actually saying,"Hey, let's reconnect on Saturday to make non-specific future plans especially not for this Saturday night."

2. The state a woman finds herself in, late on a Saturday afternoon as she sits with her skull covered in goo, in front of the immortal beauty shoppe shampoo bowl, with a wangled appointment, squinting in complete 'This can't be good' disbelief at the caller id display on her cellphone and unable to press 'answer' due to excessive head goo: a sorely misunderstood situation. An opportunity for more (sigh) personal growth.
