Kleptograph

Created by: splendiction

Pronunciation: KLEP to graf

Sentence: Kleptographing with a cell phone camera is very difficult, with the delay after pressing the shutter, the person will move and you'll end up with a fuzzy image of the wrong body part.

Etymology: kleptograph n. or v. is from the words kleptomania (urge to take) and photograph.

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"!!
