Pronunciation: talk-n-eared (slurring of talk and eared)

Sentence: Earl had a behemouth. Pearl had doggyears. Earl would morrattle and jabble endlessly. His constant prickanears were music to Pearl's ears. Pearl was an earternal listenear. It isn't hard to understand why Pearl didn't develop eardropsy from his endless greift of gab and tongue-blashing. It was because she was born as tongue-less as the sandals she wore! Their marriage was perfect, for they had a talkineared relationship!

Etymology: He would talk and she would lend an ear so their relationship was talkineared. Also a play on engineered, as well as talk an ear off.

I think maybe you should change your name to silverytongue because you always have a nice comment for all the players - we really do appreciate it - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-11: 12:01:00

Luv the sentence and "behemouth." Nice word, too. Could also add "domineer" to the etymology and use alternate spelling " Talkineer." Agree with Jabberwocky your comments are appreciated. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-11: 15:52:00

Aprreciate the compliments, Jabberwocky and Ozziebob. Shucks ... now I have to go polish my silverytongue! (wink/grin) Nice advice, as always, Ozziebob! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-11: 18:12:00
