Confaunabulation
Created by: stache
Pronunciation: kôn-fôn-āb'yə-lā'shən
Sentence: Most often, the conversations between Cindy and her overweight but handsome cat, Nigel, were rather one-sided. In the mornings, he screamed to be let into the bedroom or out, or she screamed at him to SHUT UUUUUPPPPP!!!! However, in their most private moments, when the kids had been put to bed, and after John was long gone to slumberland, their confaunabulations were deep, personal and rewarding to them both.

Zoommunicate
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /zoo-MYOO-ni-keyt/
Sentence: Trudy always knew she wanted to work with animals, since they were the only ones who seemed to understand her. She would visit the zoo several times a week because she liked to think that she could zoommunicate with the animals there. When there were no other visitors around, she would speak out loud to them, explaining how insensitive and heartless other humans were. Trudy would make her rounds, spending time with different creatures and trying to avoid the crowds. At first the animals at the zoo seemed to show interest in her monologues, but most of them were used to her presence by now and she was beginning to sense their boredom with her. Trudy was going to have to look for another zoo soon — she might even have to move to another city — in order to find a group of animals who were ready for a long-term committment.
Etymology: Zoo - a park or facility where animals are kept (from Greek, zoion "an animal") + Communicate - to express thoughts, feelings, or information easily or effectively (from Latin, commūnicāre "to impart, make common")

Looking at the word alone, I like it, so far. - stache, 2008-03-28: 01:23:00
I am sorry if I have unintentionally "stolen" or plagiarize your word. I have included an alternative verbotomy for today: "Assissiate" - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-28: 04:17:00
Oh no, did we post the same word at the same time, Bob? No worries. - Tigger, 2008-03-28: 11:54:00
I could just go with my 2nd choice, "Varminteract" (varmint + interact) as an alternate. - Tigger, 2008-03-28: 12:03:00
Nice sentence. I considered, 'animonologue,' but thought it too one-way. - stache, 2008-03-28: 12:48:00
Impossible for me not to vote for this one. "Great" minds, and all that stuff! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-28: 23:41:00
