Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: spin-AG-lay-ikes
Sentence: After consuming several bottles of fine New Jersy wine, Tommy savored the intimate caress of the cool floor tiles and realized that he WASN'T going to die just yet.

Giselle would certainly never speak to him again, his co-workers would treat him like a leper on the morrow, and his boss would NEVER let him take a week off work to go to that wordsmith festival in the desert. Trembling with SPINAGLEYIKES, Tommy realized that his best career option might be to: cut the soles off his shoes, live in a cave and learn to play the nose flute.
