Linguafreakout

Created by: readerwriter

Pronunciation: lihng-gwa-freek-owt

Sentence: Her parents thought it might have begun with that cute little sock monkey she was given on her first birthday. But, as her world expanded to include a pet dog, generations of hamsters, three cats, birds of many colors and sizes, endless trips to many zoos across the country, horses and a private stable at twelve, the llamas and alpacas, that safari in her twenties followed by an attempt at veterinary school, the cycles between her linguafreakouts were becoming closer and closer.

Etymology: From LINGUA FRANCA, meaning language used by persons who speak different languages + FREAK OUT, slang, meaning to make or become highly agitated

Drdoolittler

Created by: Jamagra

Pronunciation: doc/ter/doo/lit'/ler

Sentence: Dr. John, the local veterinarian, had an uncanny ability to communicate with all animals, except goldfish. Hopefully, what with having purchased "The Idiot's Guide to Goldfish", he'd soon be fluent. Dr. John didn't know quite as many animal languages as that guy in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, or even as many farm dialects as that Dr. Herriot in Yorkshire, but he felt he had a pretty good grip overall. Perhaps he too would one day be known as a regular DrDoolittler.

Etymology: Dr. Doolittle: in children's stories, a doctor who shuns human patients in favor of animals + -er: suffix meaning "one who..."
