Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: pring ill ting ill
Sentence: Bessie should have known that some foods are just plain dangerous to eat. She always got ice cream headaches and burned tongue from hot liquids and canker sores from excessive candies.

"Mind you", she thought as she lit a menthol cigarette to cool off her sore mouth, "who reads those anyway"??

Injuritos
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: injərdərētōs
