Pronunciation: high dro jents

Sentence: Freddie always thought himself as one of life's hydrogents. He enjoyed his bottle of water everywhere and while recycling 64 ounces of the fluid behind a tree in the park, accidentally exposed himself to a policeman. It was then he realized that you don't buy the bottle of water, you only rent it. It was also then that he finally realized why his co-workers nicknamed him Liberace...because he was the peeanist in the group!

Etymology: hydrogen (H2O) & gentleman (man of refinement)

COMMENTS:

Very elegant! - but what about people with different hydrogenitalia? (And what about that Oxygen atom?) Nevertheless, your snazzy creation snares my vote. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 08:14:00

Also a great pun on the word hydrojets! A water-deflying peeanist escaping from the cops! Excellent humor! Extraordinary verbot! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00

Cheers, Maxine & silveryaspen! It is the origin of the phrase: "Water you in for"? - Nosila, 2008-02-21: 19:56:00

You're on a roll! When it come to word fun ... your tops! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:09:00

Takes one to know one...must be the lunar eclipse/full moon! - Nosila, 2008-02-22: 23:55:00

Sentence: The dead victim had been sucking a water bottle when the investigators arrived on the scene. They also couldn't quite miss the numerous water bottles on the kitchen sink and the boxes of mineral water stacked on one side of the kitchen wall. They believe the man was a suckee. However, two sets of fingerprints were lifted off from the bottles. One belonged to the victim and the other to an unknown person.

COMMENTS:

Too easy, I know. - ErWenn, 2008-02-21: 00:08:00

Maybe it was easy for you, but I'd have never thought of it! When I read it I erupted in loud laughter! You have taken gross humor to new heights ... or should I say watery depths! Kudos for your extraordinary sentence and an ingenious verbot! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 02:17:00

how much water would it take to hydro fill a yak? very nice! - galwaywegian, 2008-02-21: 06:22:00

Splendiferous verboticism!! - Mustang, 2008-02-21: 07:20:00

The "too easy" was referring to the word. I've always been a bit of a liquiphiliac (though my drink of choice used to be soda, before my dentist showed me what I was doing to my walle-I mean teeth), so I've had years to refine that fish/horse joke; if it's not funny, I need a new hobby. - ErWenn, 2008-02-21: 21:25:00

Excellent. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-22: 00:11:00

Pronunciation: Baht-tul -sap

Sentence: Don't you feel sorry for the water bottle bearers and their constant need to be suckers? Poor bottlesaps!

Etymology: Play on bottle caps. Bottle: container for water. Sap: slang term for a sucker. Zap: hit by a need. (In the book of bent grammar, could sap be the past tense of sip?)

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

I believe some people have collections of bottlesaps - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:31:00

I like the comment about 'sap' being the past tense of 'sip' (like sit and sat)... I know, I'm such a dictionerd. - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 23:15:00
