Pronunciation: SALES rep tile

Sentence: The slimy salesreptile stalked me like a crocodile who has realized that a delicious juicy fawn is drinking at the edge of the water. I felt him coming before I actually saw him.

Like the fawn, I skittered away as he approached, pretending to take an important call which I could only hear by leaving the store.

Etymology: sales rep + reptile
