We’ve Added the Dirtinator. What Sticky Situations Will You Put in the Clorox Ick-tionary? #Sponsored

Clorox Ick-tionary Dirtinator
Dirtinator (dirt-in-A-tor)  The child who shows up covered in mud and muck that seems to have spawned from a futuristic alien place… and you just know no matter how hard you scrub, they will be back.

Used in a sentence: 
Listen, and understand. That dirtinator is still out there. It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with, and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until it collects every particle of mud from the yard.

Do you have a “dirtinator” in your home?  You are certainly not alone!

As you can see from my son’s picture above, a visit from the “dirtinator” is a common occurrence in our home.  We parents have a oodles of mess to contend with from crayon marks on the wall to fruit punch on the rug and all the delightful “ick” in-between.

One of the trusted brands we turn to for life’s big messes, Clorox® is now helping us to put a name to them with the Clorox Ick-tionary. You can visit www.icktionary.com to laugh, commiserate and resolve the ick along with learning how Clorox cleaning and laundry products can help.

You can also submit your own ick words to help build the icktionary.  Ideas are everywhere and sometimes as close as the nearest surface, which inspired our second word:

Hachoopsie (ha-cha-oop-see) The inevitable, no-matter-how-many times-you’ve-told-them-to-cover-their-nose-or-find-a-tissue sneeze that spritzes a bundle of germs all over the (insert surface here.)

Used in a sentence: 
Mom!  Bubby had a hachoopsie on my homework again! 

What names will you give to your sticky and messy situations?  Do you already have a made-up-word for the gross ick happening in your home?
