Hey Hab - your last few are pure gold. I was thinking about how hard it is to come up with new stuff in this game, because there are very few DIS-words we haven't covered but your creative minds keeps pulling out new surprising ones. It reminded me of a couple of years back when I tried to create a new branch of words for us to play with using the A- prefix which is also often used as a negation prefix, as in Atypical, Asexual and Amoral. It didn't get embraced by too many others, and then it just popped into my head:

AMORAL - Morning blow job
