Proxlimiter

Created by: mweinmann

Pronunciation: prox - lim - eter

Sentence: We dubbed the two families down the block the Spatfields and Annoys. They were friends for years until they moved next door to each other. Since then, all they do is fight and argue and have became a source of both amusement and annoyance to everyone around them. Last weekend, in an attempt to "get away from each other" they erected a proxlimiter between the houses. It is an eight foot concrete fence with no "see throughs" and no gates. It goes clear from the alley to the street.

Etymology: Proximity + Limiter >>> Proximity (closeness; the state of being near as in distance, time, or relationship) Limiter (that which limits or restricts access)
