New Ellen Dictionary Entry!

Check out the new phrase we just added to the Ellen online dictionary!

unparallel park
verb, unparallel parked, unparallel parking

Definition: Parking one’s car in the exact opposite way that one intended. The parked car in question usually protrudes onto the road, hindering the ability of other vehicles to pass. This most often occurs after a botched attempt at a parallel park.

Usage:


  1. Michael’s Mustang snarled traffic for hours after it was unparallel parked.

Hey Ellen
I watched this episode yesterday .
Why didn't you introduce your writer Lauren Pomerantz to your friend whom you knew very well ?
Instead you introduced her to a total stranger .
What a terrible matchmaker !
Please stop this crap .

Great minds think alike. You have Ellens' Dictionary and I have Loris' Language. As a matter of fact I've been thinking of getting ahold of you to spread my words. I spit them out instead of spewing out some explicit swearing. I've been told, by many,many,many, that I swear better than truckers, well I learned to get along with fishermen when I was bartending. Now after 22 years. I'm not. So I have made a gallant effort to reform my expressions. Except of course when I'm at home along babbling to myself which has occured in the past 5 yrs. of a long, long, singlehood status. So, imagine, you are carrying the turkey platter with the turkey on it, into the eating area when all of a sudden you step on a cat toy that resembles a live mouse. What do you say? Oh-Chee-Wah. Use all expressive tones to deliver and you should feel just as satisfied as the "oh, don't say those words" can make you feel. OOOH-Cheee-WAHHH Will you help my language grow? Love Ya

Hi Ellen,

I need your help. I am pregnant with my first baby and we cannot decide on a name (if its going to be a girl. ) Now, the challenge is, we need an Indian name, but we want it to be simple and easy to pronounce, unlike mine. (Esp my last name is so long -15 letters long - that ppl ask me if its a joke!)

Since you had Kenny on there, I am assuming that his former "Aka" girlfriend herself will not be on the show to form another opinion of their relationship. I assume we just agree that he is telling the truth and case closed?

Hi Ellen,
I don't know if anyone else noticed but I thought Lauren and Ken looked alot alike, almost as if they could be brother and sister or something. Are they sure they aren't related? I live in Derry NH and can try and get the low down on Ken if Lauren likes him. Thanks for a great show!

Dear Ellen,

I just want you to know that you do an unbelieveable job with your show. I love it and I do not miss a day. I tivo it daily. I was so touched with your message today about the 15 year old who died of brain cancer and how you dedicated your show to him. You are so thoughtful and down to earth. You make everyone feel welcome and included. You really know how to brighten up someone's day. Thanks for all the laughs. Please keep them coming.

Be happy that you always will get a parking lot with that car. In my hometown it is impossible to parc a car which is only a little longer then a smart in the center.
