November 17: The Leonids Typically the Leonid shower is a weak display, with fewer than a dozen meteors per hour radiating from Leo’s Sickle. But the parent comet, 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, tends to create narrow concentrated streams that can produce brief but prodigious displays. That was the case during the late 1990s, and we might be in for a reprise this year. A predicted pulse of activity on November 17th — with hundreds of meteors per hour — will involve contributions from the comet's spewings in 1102, 1466, and 1533. - metrohumanx, 2009-11-12: 06:31:00

Pronunciation: swet thret

Sentence: "Dang it", said the Lone Ranger. "I knew I should have never worn these fancy new boots to my faithful companion Tonto's party. They make my feet so hot that I am afraid of being a sweathreat to everyone there!" It was too late to turn Silver around and go home, so the Masked Man went up and knocked at the flap of Tonto's teepee. His anxiety evaporated when Tonto bade him enter and told him to remove his boots and be comfortable. When he hesitated, Tonto knew what was wrong right away (he had that esp thingy going) and said, "Don't worry about your feet,Kimo Sabe, because this is a Sweat Lodge anyway!" The Lone Ranger laughed and relaxed until Tonto said, "Besides it's only the two of us tonight..."

Etymology: Sweat (perspiration, body odour) & Threat (a warning that something unpleasant is imminent)

Pronunciation: kol - dor - swet

Sentence: Mr. Badd O. Door came over to my house wearing a a leather jacket, leather pants and heavy leather boots during a hot summer's day last year. I complimented them about his boots and he asked me if I wanted to try them. It was kind of a dare actually, since those boots seemed to be heavy. I quickly said, "Yes, take them off." And not missing a beat, he sped off like Flash into the horizon. I guess coldorsweat must have overcome him.

Etymology: cold sweat (figurative language associated with uneasiness) + odor

Pronunciation: stank-ZI-uh-tee

Sentence: Esmerelda stood all at once upon the threshold of Xavier's home, and upon the precipice of overwhelming panic. It was summer, and the world was wilting around her, but she could not bring herself to doff her spectacular boots. No ordinary boots, these were. Made in 1974 from recycled vinyl, the boots were the funkiest things she had ever seen. She had bought them with her last $40 from a woman on the street corner, and never regretted a thing about them. Until now. Her toes sweltered, and the sparkly polish on her nails was surely softening as she stood in front of Xavier. Esmerelda knew that she could not remove the boots, for the fearsome stench that would issue forth from the fancy footwear would ruin any chance of future happiness. Stanxiety overcame her, and she fidgetted nervously. "You must BE so hot in those boots. Take them off and come inside". Xavier stepped back and welcomed her. But Esmerelda was rooted to the spot. "It's okay," she said. "I'll just wait by the door." Xavier turned and walked inside. A small part of Esmerelda melted... and it wasn't her toes.

Etymology: STANK: past tense of STINK: to emit a strong offensive smell + ANXIETY: distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune
