Eyepawed
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: eye pod
Sentence: Electronic devices have been a God-send for shy and somewhat bizarre people like Julie. When she gets a crush on some hot guy in her school (like a new one each week...way out of her league), she follows him around and secretly takes pics of him for her to daydream over. These poor guys don't even know they are being eyepawed by a stalker like Julie. Doesn't she watch CSI or Criminal Minds? This is how they eventually takedown people like her when the restraining order is enforced.
Etymology: Eye Pawed (to touch/drool over with your eyes) & Wordplay on iPod (portable media device range of products produced by Apple Inc, including ones with camera connectors)

Pronunciation: pickt - ah - boo
Sentence: Maurice is going to get roughed up one of these days... He goes down the street playing pictaboo with his cell phone. I am sure that if his subjects could see all of the candid, unflattering and intrusive photos that he is taking, they would be horrified.
Etymology: Picture + taboo + play on the phrase "peek a boo" >>> Picture (a visual representation (of an object,scene or person ) Taboo (an inhibition or ban resulting from social custom or emotional aversion ) Peek A Boo (is a game similar to hide and seek. In the game, one person hides their face, pops back into view, and says — to the other's amusement — "Peekaboo"!! or "Peekaboo, I see you"!! In this case, it would be "Pictaboo, I see you"!!
