Pronunciation: soōðē

Sentence: Marcia wears her heart on her sleeve. This means that all too often she has that heart broken, or at least damaged. Whenever this happens she goes to her coping plan. Though she uses food to comfort herself, she works hard to keep it healthy. To make herself feel better, she will prepare a fruit soothey. She makes a point of using exotic fruits or fruits that are out of season to give herself a sense of importance. It usually just makes her feel broke.

Etymology: soothe (relieve or ease pain) + smoothie (a thick, smooth drink of fresh fruit puréed with milk, yogurt, or ice cream)

Comfort eating is what we would call this verboticism anyway. It's like that other one where there was already a phrase in use (Freudian slip). - Discoveria, 2007-03-12: 11:53:00

Can't you be more original then that? Lame - tonya87, 2007-03-12: 15:03:00

tonya87, that wasn't very encouraging...I didn't mean to start anything. - Discoveria, 2007-03-12: 19:19:00

Well, I must say I used that one precisely because there already existed a definition. I think it should be evaluated next to new ones. - allwise, 2007-03-13: 04:50:00
