Liquorspondence

thegoatisbad

Created by: thegoatisbad

Pronunciation: Lick-or-spon-dence

Sentence: Kimberly was not immune to liquorspondence. Under the influence of romantic ballads and boxed wine, Kimberly not once, but twice, e-mailed Xavier, a yarn sales rep from Vanna's Choice yarns. The e-mails started innocently enough, but as the wine bag deflated into her blood stream, Kimberly started to make provocative suggestions about knots and inappropriate inquiries as to the size of Xavier's knitting needle. In both instances, she concluded the e-mail asking if she would die alone.

Etymology: Liquor (21+) + Correspondence (exchange of words)

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

I really like this word and will use it when I receive future liquorspondences. - splendiction, 2010-04-20: 23:12:00

Microbrewerysoft

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: my kro broo eree soft

Sentence: Michael was quickly fading into microbrewerysoft mode, after a night of tippling and typing. The false courage and lack of inhibition that the local brew gave him, made him usually send out e-mails or blogs that he would spend weeks trying to amend for. Yes, it was high time that computers came with breathalyzers. Don't Drink and N-Drive!

Etymology: Microsoft (Computer Giant) & Micro Brewery (Small local brewery, usually makes beer and ale the old-fashioned way, often attached to a pub)

Tipsymail

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /tip-see-mayl/

Sentence: Our senior co-worker, Frank, would enjoy himself at Happy Hour at the bar next door to the office, but then he'd sometimes return to work, and tipsymail the group about next week's assignments. It's hard to believe that someone can 'slur' in e-mail like that...

Etymology: tipsy - slightly intoxicated or drunk (from Middle English, typen "to upset, overturn") + e-mail (short for electronic mail — but of course, you already knew that.)

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Last sentence really cracked me up! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-31: 11:39:00

Communenebreation

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: kom myun ee nee bree ayshun

Sentence: Bud Nonweiser had a deadline for 6 am and a love of hops in their liquid form. He had already written many draftbeerdrafts of his report for work, but the more he drank, the worse his editing and decision making skills became. After a brief doze, face imprinted with his keyboard, he decided that his current drafts (both the beer and the report) were tasty and refreshing. His boss, Pete Totaller, must have understood that a report e-mailed off at 4:20 am, making no sense and in an alternate form of English must be a form of communenebreation. He decided quickly that this Bud's not for you and e-mailed him back his severance notice.

Etymology: Communication (transfer thoughts or feelings) & Inebreation (stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol) & en-e-breation (electronically intoxicated)

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Bud's to you! - splendiction, 2010-04-20: 23:14:00

Millertome

libertybelle

Created by: libertybelle

Pronunciation: mill-er-toe-m

Sentence: As Justin checked his email, he realized that seeing his ex-girlfriend in the bar last night promted her to send him a lengthy millertome outlining (incomprehensibly) his shortcomings.

Etymology: play on the phrase Miller time (a slogan used by the Miller Brewing Company) + tome

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Good word. I could tell exactly what it means even out of context. - ErWenn, 2008-01-31: 09:31:00

Three cheers! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-31: 11:55:00

Not a good way to "Foster" a relationship! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-01-31: 22:37:00

Bukowskegram

Created by: Banky

Pronunciation: byoo-cowsk-e-gramm

Sentence: Trent hoped that picture his college roommate had sent him was in fact a close-up of a sphinx cat kitten, or maybe an out-of-focus shar pei. It was wishful thinking on his behalf, though, as he had been e-bagged in a Bukowskegram.

Etymology: Bukowski - Charles Bukowski, famous alcohol loving author, e - as in electronic/email, gram - from telegram

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

In hindsight, Bukowskemail would flow a little better, but I like the old fashioned quaintness of gram along with Chuck. - Banky, 2008-01-31: 11:02:00

love the literary reference - Jabberwocky, 2008-01-31: 12:00:00

Good word! Chuck had to be in there somewhere! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-01-31: 22:24:00
