Pronunciation: pol lee kod del

Sentence: When Old Lady Harris finally passed on from Shaker's Acres to the Great Beyond, the only thing she left her niece, Bethany, was her beloved, Hyacinth Macaw parrot, Polly. Polly could talk, incessantly, as it turns out and demanded all Bethany's attention. It turns out,too, her aunt had treated Polly like a baby and as a result she had been able to pollycoddle the raucous bird and spoil her rotten. When Polly did not get her way she screached and swore loudly. "Oh well," thought Bethany, "at least she also left me a few bucks to buy food and supplies for the bird". It was with horror then that Bethany read that parrots like Polly lived to the age of one hundred!

Etymology: Polly (popular name for a pet parrot) & Mollycoddle (a pampered darling;treat with excessive indulgence)

Sentence: Katie's cats, Fatty McButterpants and Furbucket are adorabubble. Fatty's greatest talent is to roll over on his fatback and purr when his ample belly is scratched. Fur will sing for her supper and she sings often. If breathing were a conscience effort, they would both be long gone.

Etymology: adorable (inspiring great affection; delightful; charming) + bubble (an air- or gas-filled spherical cavity in a liquid or a solidified liquid such as glass or amber)

Then...Pepper would let out a hiss and swat Kay's hand away and dart off as fast as she could running and skidding sideways across the wooden floors to go hide for hours!(Pepper was no where to be found) Kay sat down for a while then unpacked from her travels,then finally went to take a relaxing warm bubble bath. Pepper slowly came creeping up to Kay like nothing had happened. Pepper lovingly purred as she looked up so sweetly at Kay with her soft blue eyes...Kay reached out to pet her then Pepper raced off again to the kitchen to go sit at her food bowl meowing loudly! Kay toweled off and went to the kitchen to see the adorable "alluraypetdumb" expression of Pepper glaring up at her until Kay fed her! Kay went through this same treatment every time she came in from work and Pepper kept up with her "alluraypetdumb" attitude every single week! "Oh, but Pepper was so cute!"

Pronunciation: kit-ty-kaun

Sentence: When my feet hit the floor in the morning, Cartman, my kittykhan, is sitting at the foot of the bed staring at me, waiting for me to bring his crunchies for breakfast. Twenty minutes later he scratches the furniture so I will let him out. Twenty minutes later, he yowls for me to let him in. He is now ready to spend the day putting lovely decorative fur on my clothes and furniture. My kittykhan is absolute monarch of the home and I, like a pavlovian experiment, will not only obey, but will cuddle and coo like a new grandmother. Yeesh!

Etymology: (wordplay on kittycat) kitty: pet name for cat + khan: imperial medieval rulers of mongol, persian and turkish tribes

The poor mutt had long, matted, hair, desperately in need of shampooing and clipping, along with a frighteningly ugly, part boxer, part schnauzer, part pugly, face ... earning him the name of Scrunge Bob Scare Pants ... so charmideous he was a blessing in disguise!

Etymology: HIDEOUSLY, CHARMING = CHARMIDEOUS. // A pound for hounds is a phound. // Pug ugly is pugly.
