Give me something for the pain!

wheeple (v. & n.)

The force of the projectile smashing his groin was such that Ian wheepled like a boiling kettle before collapsing to his knees, clutching himself. Faint sounds of retching could be heard soon after.


Yes, I know, smashed balls are not funny. No, I lied. They are funny as hell.

Don't believe me? Just watch the Three Stooges.
