Buccinator

I'm sorry to report that a buccinator is neither interesting nor funny. According to my dictionary it's a flat, thin cheek muscle. Oh well. It gave us food for thought and plenty of great meanings. Thinks! thought hard and made it to 50 per cent of the vote on the poll - which was enough to be declared today's official winner. Good thinking!

A buccinator is a killing machine similar to "The Terminator" that kills by having his nautical victims by having them walk the plank.

It's a machine that adds unidentifiable mush to raw hamburgers to give them that 'gooey' feel.

The Buccinator was an early washing machine which, because it was unweighted, leapt around the kitchen when it reached it's full spin cycle.
In the fifties many housewives from the southern states had theirs fitted with a saddle and successfully learned to become rodeo champions.

A buccinator is the person who controls mechanical bulls at those cheesy western bars. The buccinator is the guy you yell to " is that you got!" and then he laughs at you as you fly across the mat!
The buccinator is the most coveted of the western bar jobs.

Buccinator:
This is what they call deep sea divers that specialize in tracking the habits of bottle nosed dolphins.

A buccinator is a pharmaceutical product available as a powder which can be taken with a glass of water. It has the effect of provoking symptoms of severe indegistion (heart burn, gas, etc).

It is taken by volunteers testing anti-indigestion remedies. Until its invention, these volunteers were required to eat their way through huge portions of spicy and filling food, which caused them serious obesity problems.

If anyone's interested, they're alwyas looking for people...

similar to the word buccaneer, a buccinator is usually used to describe a pirate. the difference is that buccaneers are sea pirates, whereas buccinators are space pirates.

Good one, S!!


Buccinators: The person who always has the best comebacks. They're quick and cheeky or just plain funny.

Buccinator is a children's game which involved piggy backs. The child underneath (the backer) tries to get rid of the child on top (the buckee). When the buckee is on the ground, they swap places and start again.

A buccinator is a very useful piece of camping equipment particularly favoured by the economical and ecologically minded. It serves dual purposes as both a basic toilet and an incinerator. Each evening, you lift the lid, add a sachet of inflammable chemicals to the effluvia therein, drop in a lighted match and enjoy your instant and safely contained campfire. Marshmallow anyone?

i think a buccinater....

got it!

A buccinater is the lunch lady who globs on the mystery meat, but never gives you more than one good taco. She is the second most hated in the high school. (The science teacher is the hated, he gives the most homwork every night.)

Buccinators are machines which convert dollar bills into hundred dollar bills. They are hidden in secret locations known only to top government officals. I am currently working on creating my own buccinator and look forward to retiring in the very near future.

The Buccinator: Summer 2009

Due to the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise a new movie is in the works, as I write this, from Universal Pictures. It is the “final” installment of the Terminator movies. Because of the time/ space continuum John Connor is an American privateer in 1782. He is “protecting” the colonies from the English Navy’s impressment of American ships. Arnold S. will reprise as his role, The Terminator, only now, he too is a swashbuckling Austrian mercenary buccaneer, back in time, to kill, again, John Connor. The new action packed film is called The Buccinator.

This film is not yet rated.

A buccinator is a relaxation tape for country folk. It mixes the sounds of chickens and other farmyard animals with cowboy talk.

"Whoa Nellie Buc Buc Buc" is my personal favourite.

Oops. I just showed my age. It's a relaxation cd, not a tape!

Bucci was a company that made cheap fakes of Gucci products. So, the word Buccinator refers to any person involved in making cheap fakes of brands.

A buccinator is a comedian that imitates rural or southern people. The name is derived from bucolic.
