Agreed, I like 'conesty' as well. - Tigger, 2008-02-19: 13:20:00

Pronunciation: me - ah - cul - prit

Sentence: "My lunch was in a white sack. It's missing from the fridge. Did you take it?" said Trudy. "It wasn't me! As you can see, I'm eating the yogurt, the apple, and the iced tea I brought. " Erica replied. Trudy took the last brown lunch sack, not white like hers, from the fridge. She opened it. As she set the yogurt, apple and iced tea on the table in front of Erica she said, "Oh, we brought the same lunch in different sacks! You did take my lunch! So now, I will take yours! When it comes to stealing lunches, we are both mea culprits!

Etymology: A blend of culprit and mea culpa. Culprit: which carries the double meaning of both an accused person and a guilty person. Mea Culpa: means "accepting guilt." And of course the admission of guilt in bad grammar "me a culprit!"

COMMENTS:

Neat word. While reading your sentence, a previous submission, from a few months ago, came to mind - Sandwicheroo. - Tigger, 2008-02-19: 13:04:00

since Trudy deliberately ate the wrong lunch I would say she's guilty of being the meamaximaculprit - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-19: 14:29:00

great word! - libertybelle, 2008-02-19: 14:57:00

Pronunciation: /ˌʌnˈfɪb/

Sentence: One can unfib accidentally: "I unfibbed my fake broken leg by tripping on the crutches I was using for verisimilitude." One is occasionally required to unfib on purpose: "I told her that we were going to go bowling because I thought that would make her stay home, but when she pulled out her personalized ball and custom-fit shoes, I was forced to go and unfib the whole thing."

Etymology: From un- + fib

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Sometimes people tell what they think are lies when they are actually telling the truth. While this is often referred to as "unfibbing", technically "malfibbing" would be more correct. - ErWenn, 2008-02-19: 10:31:00

Fibulous! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-19: 11:39:00
