Verboticisms

Pronunciation: sten-chen

Sentence: Mark was laying on the gurney in the emergency room after his injury and his stenchion level began to rise when he realized that he was still wearing his lucky underwear that he hadn't changed since the beginning of the season. Now his mother would find out about it. She had warned him. It didn't matter that he had two gold gloves and an MVP, what would the doctor think about him?

Etymology: stench: strong, foul odor + tension: mental, emotional or nervous strain -- baseball players are notorious for being highly superstitious and will regard certain articles of clothing as being "lucky." They have been known to go for weeks without taking off socks, charms, underwear, etc. as long as they're hitting well.

Sentence: Because of his severe case of halitosies, Brian was the only member of the Scout Troop granted permission to remove his boots after an extended hiking trip and hang his feet out the car window. The permission was almost rescinded when it was discovered that people in the next car were close to passing out and that the car*s paint was peeling. Order was restored once Brian*s transport was repositioned at the rear of the caravan.

Etymology: halitosis (technical term for bad breath) + tosies (a childish word for the five digits at the end of the human foot)

Pronunciation: ap pre sent siv

Sentence: Wilbur was always apprescentsive about removing his footwear when he visited people. In fact, you could say that people who insisted on footwear removal were his arch enemies. It made him feel like a heel and meant he was socially out of step. One of these days he would pump up his courage and actually remove his boots, but until then he would stay tongue-in-cheek as a loafer by the door. You see, he lived in dread of the smell his feet...they stunk. No amount of washing, foot deodorant or talc could improve the aroma. The unkind would say things like, "Are you from You-Reek-A?" or "Inhale to the Chief!" and even people who spoke with a Brogue, would say, "Who is dat Fetor? Johnny Stench?" Wilbur had tried many cures, but could never find a pedicure for his troubles. Their olfactory assault was not the sole reason for his being apprescentsive: Wilbur had suffered from toe-lio as a child (which also left him with a lingering case of knee-monia.) As a result, he had 8 toes on each foot and it was easier to sneaker into parties with his footwear intact, than to explain his an eight-toe-me to the in-toe-lerant!

Etymology: apprehensive( mentally upset over possible misfortune or danger;fearful,worried or dreading something) & scent (an odor left in passing by which a person or animal can be traced;cause to smell or be smelly)
