Orangmoldgrok
Created by: zxvasdf
Pronunciation: Or ang mold grok
Sentence: There she was calmly minding her business with a deep lathering of her armpits, her mind wandering into the next hour to compile a lengthy list of what she would, might wear. Her eyes focused on this queer orange smear on the tile. She peered closer through the steam. Her eyes focused once more, uncomprehendingly, as a languorous orangmoldgrok slipped down the length of her being. Then the dam broke loose and her larynx trembled, pouring forth a torrent of platitudes that continued until she realized there was no help in the coming. Now calm, she finished her shower and shuddered with relief as she stepped out of the stall. She had been orangmoldgrokked!
Etymology: Orange (the color of the fruit) & mold (rapidly replicating fungus) & grok (to understand)
