Wish you had finished and given us a sentence and etymology. Your verboticism is good, but it would be better if you polished it off with the rest! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:04:00

Wonderful pun ending! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:08:00

love the sentence - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:32:00

A beautiful pun. I'm surprised more people haven't voted here, but with the downfall of civilization and all, I suppose it's possible. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 19:55:00

You're so right Maxine! Until I thought about it half the day ... I missed the 'ought' in twat ... even though I read the pronounciation several times! Great blending and pun on H2ought, galwegian ... not only your sentence, but your verbot had a great ending and devserved more of a vote! Brilliant! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:00:00

Perhaps if the etymology had read haitch too ought ... More of us would have caught on ... or caught on sooner! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:13:00

Pronunciation: /uh-KWAIR-ee-ass/

Sentence: Lisa carried that stupid water bottle with her everywhere — even when they went out for lunch. Carl told her, "I'm sure they have Coke or tea here, Lisa. You don't need to bring your own drink." Lisa replied, "My body needs water to stay hydrated. I am an Aquarius, you know." Rolling his eyes, Carl thought to himself, 'You mean an Aquariass, don't you?'

Etymology: Aquarius - eleventh sign of the zodiac; the Water Bearer (Latin literature, "water carrier") + ass - a stupid, foolish, or stubborn person (from Old English, assa "donkey")

Pronunciation: sip-BOT-l

Sentence: There they were: a motley mob of drinkwaters, sipsops, aquaholics, potable-notables, hydroeclectics and sipbottles with their prete-a-pote designer bottiglia. I said to Bluey. "Crikey, what's this country coming to when a bloke can't get a beer". Blue nodded, "Dunno, but I got more respect for a koala than this lot. But ya know, Bobbie boy, what "Evian" spells backwards, don't ya? Naive!"

Etymology: SIPBOTTLE:Sip & bottle. PRETE-A-POTE:ready to drink, based on prete-a-porte. KOALA: marsupial whose name means in native languages: one who doesn't drink water. EVIAN: the most popular brand of bottled water in Australia, probably sold worldwide.

COMMENTS:

I really like hydroeclectics - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00

My favorite was potable-notables. Bountiful verbots! Bountiful humor! Nice twists! Great sentence! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:49:00

How about 'sipsops'? So many to choose from, Bob. Interesting bit about the word 'Koala' too! - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 23:34:00

Sentence: The dead victim had been sucking a water bottle when the investigators arrived on the scene.

However, two sets of fingerprints were lifted off from the bottles. One belonged to the victim and the other to an unknown person.
