Stallamour
Created by: dochanne

Sentence: Jackie had gone to a lot of effort, made dinner, set the table with candles and ensured her housemate was elsewhere for the evening. The final touches added to her hair and a spritz of perfume, then, her heart racing, she answered the doorbell.. His collogne was intoxicating and the smile enticing, a single rose in his hand. Dinner went well and the wine was flowing as fast as her pulse, his hand holding hers, when a sound startled them. A key in the front door, her flatmate home. What the hell? He withdrew and got shy, started clearing the dishes. Katie all smiles tut-tutted and loitered, her stupid flatmate playing stallamour again!

Fornicashun
Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: four-nih-cay-shun
Sentence: Pastor Ted, pad and pen in hand, began to outline his homily for the next day's assembly of ChastiKids from across the country. He planned to start out by detailing all of the benefits of fornicashun. "To say "noitus" to coitus is to respect ones body and give praise to the Lord. Avoiding the mortal sin of lust will prevent you from contracting the many rashes of Satan..." Ted was interrupted as the ink on the paper bloomed into a dark carnation as the prostitutes in his hotel room hot tub started a water fight. There would be time to work on this later, so Ted grabbed his ball-gag and riding crop and intentionally perverted the term "water polo".
Etymology: fornication + shun

Chauvirover
Created by: emdeejay
Pronunciation: show ver row ver
Sentence: Candy was a carefree spirited soul whose adherence to her father Bob's moral standards could only be described as loose. Whilst this made her popular around many ends in town, her frolicksome nature was an embarrassment to Bob, as she would often attend the Sunday service looking a tad unkempt. After answering the door to yet another 'suitor' whose agenda was barely hidden, Bob decided to act. No longer would he watch them come and go. Only gents cut from the finest of cloth would be suitable for his Candy. He quickly hatched a plan, and the pup arrived the next day. By walking him past the towns seediest establishments, Bob trained the dog in the art of pheremone detection. When he took a shining to Candy, Bob knew he had done it! No more would you notice an errant hormone under his roof. After a few acid tests they named him in honour of his waftily touted snout: Chauvirover.
Etymology: (Male) Chauvinist: Man who demeans and objectifies women, often sexually. Rover: Standard issue canine name. Innuend... oh, never mind.
