Silly ScrabbleGrams

Style Invitational Week 1482 involves taking 36 prearranged sets of seven letters, such as have been seen in the ScrabbleGrams game, and making new five- to seven-letter words from them, with humorous elaborations. Apparently, they've held this type of contest several times before, but I never participated until now. (I'm afraid the deadline is less than 90 minutes from when I made this post, so you're probably too late.) Here are the ones I submitted:

ABBMOST > BATMOB: What the Caped Crusader assembles when he needs a lot of help.
ADEOPPS > SODAPEP: A drink-based sugar high.
ACHINNU > UNACHIN: In the future, not having a double chin will be remarkable enough for this word to exist.
AHISTTW > HATWITS: Fools who are "all hat and no cattle."
EENSTVY > YENVEST: To invest in whatever you most crave.
ABNOOSS > SANSBOO: A modern description of someone with no significant other.
AAHPTWY > PAYWHAT: Someone who expects artists to work for mere exposure.
UPDRAFT > DARTUP: A new business that makes its decisions via dartboard.
AABCITX > AXBAIT: An act that's likely to get one fired if discovered.
ACEFFIN > INFACE: Like an invoice, except delivered orally in person.
BEIMSTU > SEMIBUT: A conjunction that functions as a compromise between "and" and "but."
DEHNRTU > NUTHERD: A key component in mass hysteria.
ADLNORU > LUNARDO: A haircut only a lunatic would want.
ABEIKLT > LIBTAKE: An especially left-wing reaction to something.
BELMPRU > BERUMP: To make an ass of.
CDEEILN > ENDICE: To lure with the promise of a crap game.
ABGLNOO > LONGBOA: What the Flintstones use for archery.
AEMRSTW > STRAWME: An unflatteringly inaccurate self-portrayal.
EGGIRRT > RETRIG: To take a math course over again.
AABNNOZ > BANANO: The smallest fruit ever cultivated.
DDEILOT > ITODDLE: An Apple product for two-year-olds.
AADMNNS > ANDMAN: Someone who never knows when to shut up.
BHIMSTU > ITHUMBS: Digits that have evolved to be super slim for fewer texting errors.
ACDEGOR > GODCARE: A health plan reliant on thoughts and prayers.
DDGOOOW > OWDODO: Someone who makes others' heads hurt by being stupid.


I was going to include "ADDEISY > IDESDAY: A redundancy among amateur historians," but the limit is 25 entries.
