Datetcetera

Created by: kateinkorea

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

Created by: rombus

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.

Pedigreeleased

Created by: silveryaspen

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.
