Animunciate
Created by: kashman
Pronunciation: anee-mun-sea-ate
Sentence: Lauren has always been an animal lover. Her parents supported her animunciation hoping that it's just a phase in her growing up life. But when they were told by Lauren's teachers that she animunciates with the rats and frogs in her school's biology lab, they knew something was wrong. Later on when she went to college and one Thanksgiving week they received a call from her that she is bringing "someone" with her, it got them all excited. Finally, the Thanksgiving day arrived and the door bell rang; Lauren's parents opened the door beamingly to find her animunciating with a dog!
Etymology: Animal + Enunciate (to speak clearly)

Drdoolittler
Created by: Jamagra
Pronunciation: doc/ter/doo/lit'/ler
Sentence: Dr. John, the local veterinarian, had an uncanny ability to communicate with all animals, except goldfish. Hopefully, what with having purchased "The Idiot's Guide to Goldfish", he'd soon be fluent. Dr. John didn't know quite as many animal languages as that guy in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, or even as many farm dialects as that Dr. Herriot in Yorkshire, but he felt he had a pretty good grip overall. Perhaps he too would one day be known as a regular DrDoolittler.
Etymology: Dr. Doolittle: in children's stories, a doctor who shuns human patients in favor of animals + -er: suffix meaning "one who..."
