Pronunciation: Skal - ah - wag - gur

Sentence: Ol Buffy was a scalawagger... His tail was fast, he was no lagger. Up and down the street he ran after cars and after vans. He took the food right off one's plate and with every female dog did mate. But now he is all dead and gone so this is the end of my doggie song.

Pronunciation: ped ig ree least

Sentence: Leash laws are all too often ignored. Pit bulls knock over trash cans, rip off the lids, and strew their litters everywhere, including their poochiepoops. The cargis chase cars, barking crazily, sending drivers veering badly and braking madly. Pursued by mongrowls, the pedestriafleeings are stopped in their tracks by the snarling bull terrors. Dobermans use their teeth as pinschers, causing people to flea to the hospitals for tetanus shots. There are so many lightning fast strayhounds, untiedy dogs, those pedigreeleased, that even the dog catchers, despite their great currage, and bow-rows, are losing their dog gone battles!

Etymology: PEDIGREES - dogs with papers on their lineage. RELEASED - unleashed, free to roam.

Pronunciation: rampət

Sentence: Joan almost hated to get an invitation to a party. She knows her boyfriend will have a bit too much to drink and act like a fool.

Pronunciation: DATE et CET er ah

Sentence: She called him the date from hell. But we had all nicknamed him datetcetera. He talked too much and too loud; he moved too fast, sometimes knocking over things; he tried too hard to do the right thing and constantly failed at it. He just went overboard in everything he did. He was too much! Why did she go out with him? She said it was because he was persistent and he just kept coming back.

Etymology: DATE: ETCETERA: to go on and on

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

Does persistence really work? I've tried everything but that! - metrohumanx, 2009-03-19: 02:02:00

Uh Oh! He just couldn't cetera flame even though he was the date from hell! - silveryaspen, 2009-03-19: 02:42:00

Pronunciation: hyper-ob-nox-i-tive

Sentence: Carol was afraid that Steve's behavior was becoming more and more bizarre. She couldn't have her friends over anymore for fear that they would be alarmed by his increasingly unrestrained, gauche behavior. One day, while waiting for her nail appointment, she read in a Woman's magazine the 7 warning signs of hyperobnoxitivity. She never knew there was a name for his condition. All this time she thought it was the beer. So she took the test and was shocked. There ws no doubt. Steve was hyperobnoxitive. Carol quickly called her therapist to have Steve diagnosed so he could begin treatment. Perhaps this would save her marriage.

Etymology: Hyper: pref. (Greek: huper) over, beyond; excessive. Obnoxious: adj. highly objectionable, offensive Sensitive: adj. physiology--having a low threshold of sensation or feeling.

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

It was a great idea to treat this condition like a disease! You might have set us all a challenge for the day ... to create a pill for hyperobnoxtivity! It will be fun to check back and see if you or anyone else does. - silveryaspen, 2009-03-19: 13:23:00

Sadly, this isn't completely curable -- however, some therapies such as cold shoulder and couch have been known to help manage it. Anyone who would like to donate to find a cure, let me know. - mrskellyscl, 2009-03-19: 13:34:00

Excellent treatments! Your wonderful wit brought lots of laughter. Perhaps you could do some mindtricks using a medicine, a pill created and named just for him ... the placeboob. - silveryaspen, 2009-03-19: 16:40:00
