Milduped

Created by: lumina

Pronunciation: mil/doopt

Sentence: The twins were thrilled to be in their first and very own apartment. No more Mom and dad breathing down their necks or peeking out windows when dates were dropping them off. Their new place looked so good when it had the last tenants belongings in it. It somehow even looked cleaner than it really was. Molly's first shower sounded to Holly like a scene out of Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho. When Holly ran in to see what was going on, Molly was standing in the shower screaming and pointing, "LOOK! We've been milduped! This shower does did NOT originally match the peach colored walls and decor!"

Etymology: Mildew: A superficial coating or discoloration of organic materials caused by fungi, especially under damp conditions. Duped: slang for: To deceive

Ecolinized

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: ee kol ee nyzed

Sentence: Pathogenia thought she was alone in her abode. It was not until after she had had several showers in the less-than-new apartment that she felt crowded out. At first it was the odd spot or streak on the curtain or wall, but after a few days, she realized she was ecolinized by a different life form. Thank goodness for her new boyfriend, Mr. Klean. He came straight over after her panicky call and sprayed every inch of the bathroom with his essence. The orange blight was eliminated and she was once more alone in her apartment. At least until the mice, silverfish and cockroaches drop in for a visit...

Etymology: E-coli (Escherichia coli-Escherichia coli (abbreviated as E. coli) are a large and diverse group of bacteria) & Colonized (a settlement; those who settle in a new colony or move into new country; migrants)

Today we have a special "scary" definition just for Halloween. It was suggested by purpleartichokes, who not only sent in a photo of bathroom suffering from such an infestation (It is not hers!), but who also offered to model for today's comic. Thank you purpleartichokes! ~ James

Oh well... found out. And they do clash with the orange slime. Guess I should decorate in Tangerines.
