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

Stunned by the way you take one word and tweak it with a letter, or a few, and have a great verbotomy to fit the definition. Today's is Exceptional. - silveryaspen, 2008-12-05: 15:15:00

Cute word...you brake me up! - Nosila, 2008-02-14: 00:26:00

Pronunciation: /ˈmeɪdṇˌfɛns/
