Pointidbit
Created by: thegoatisbad
Pronunciation: poin-tid-bit
Sentence: Kimberly never bought rock candy without buying orajel or anbesol. She knew the sugary pointidbits would scrape their way across the roof of her mouth while she scarfed them down, but the sweet thorsels were too much to resist, so she tried only to alleviate the symptoms rather than prevent them. About the side effect: "Oh, it's the greatest tongue scrapper around" she explained to Zinnia while drooling blood, "it's done wonders for my breath."
Etymology: pointed (has a sharp point) + tidbit (small piece of a food)
Injuritos
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: injərdərētōs
Sentence: If I didn't know better i would think Matt was something of a masochist. Every time I see him he is munching on a bag of Injuritos. The full-size chips are bad enough but the shards in the bottom of the bag might as well be chunks of glass. The insidious part is that the company that makes these "shivs in a sack" has added an ingredient called nacho that numbs the palate so that the damage is hardly noticed.
Etymology: injured (harmed, damaged, or impaired) + Doritos (a popular brand of chips)

"These packages really ought to have health warnings on them like cigarette cartons", she thought to herself. "Mind you", she thought as she lit a menthol cigarette to cool off her sore mouth, "who reads those anyway"??
