Pronunciation: third - wheel- er

Sentence: Gordon snaked his arm along the back of the lounge and looked longingly into Miranda's eyes. But only for a fleeting second! That amorous feeling had quickly dissipated when the thirdweiler prowled into the room making low growling noises and raising its hackles. The only drooling going on was the dog.

Etymology: third wheel (one who deters the couple's activities - just by being there) + Rottweiler (a breed of dog often used for guard dogs)

Pronunciation: rome/nee/no

Sentence: Juliet's father was a real romekneeno. Everytime an errant hand slid past her knee, he chopped it off.

Etymology: romeo + rome + knee + no

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

Every word in your etymology is so well chosen ... with romeo and knee topping the other two. Knees can be a turn on ... but alas ... they can also be a painful turn-off ... incorporating it into your verbot makes it so powerful! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:21:00

Pronunciation: /LUST-bus-ter/

Sentence: Nothing could spoil the mood like Andrea's dog, Fang. Like a true 'lustbuster' he had an uncanny ability to sense a sexual advance coming on — Todd didn't even have to make a move toward her — all he had to do was just think about putting an arm around Andrea, and the flea-bitten cur would lift his head and start snarling at him.

Etymology: lust - intense sexual desire or appetite (Old Norse, lyst "desire") + buster - a person who breaks up something (Origin: 1825–35, Americanism; bust & -er)

lol! Excellent choice of words Tigger. :) - Dougalistic, 2008-02-13: 04:40:00

Simple but effective. - ErWenn, 2008-02-13: 10:13:00

Haven't we seen this before for a different definition? It's so good, twice is nice! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:04:00

Nice word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 17:06:00

Doggone, Todd! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 19:36:00

I didn't recall it being used here before silveryaspen, but if it was I apologize. I was thinking of rhyming the word 'lust' and 'bust' and thought it kinda sounded like 'dustbuster'. - Tigger, 2008-02-14: 00:30:00

Apologies to Stevenson0 — he submitted 'Lustbust' for a similar definition in January. It must've been stuck in the back of my head... it was such a good word. - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 02:20:00

Pronunciation: auto - e - rot - a - stop

Sentence: Six weeks had passed since the arrival of the new baby and Aaron and Kelly were feeling up to an attempt at romance. The baby was recently fed, dry and sleeping peacefully. Aaron leaned in for a much needed inaugural kiss and just before his lips met Kelly's, the baby squawked. Aaron pulled away and held his breath. The crying stopped. Kelly waved him in for a second try and again the baby screamed, only louder. This time the baby could not be stopped. She screamed like a fire alarm for an hour. The exhausted parents consulted the owner's manual and discovered that their bundle of joy had come equipped with the often standard AUTOEROTISTOP alarm. This option was apparently not refundable.

Etymology: auto + erotica + stop

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

Out-of-gas-stop! Being stationary ... stopped at the station ... unable to move! Evokes so many images ... Wonderful Creation! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:18:00

Hmmm... sounds like a poor design, but then again, it never runs out of gas, does it? - Tigger, 2008-02-14: 00:48:00

Pronunciation: Stall-a-moor

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!

Etymology: Stall - to come to a halt, falter, or delay. Amour - hormone flushed embraces and love
