Scrapulator
Created by: emdeejay
Pronunciation: Scrap you later
Sentence: Luke was one of those people who would actually create work for himself procrastinating over household chores. Finding a condiment vessel in his pantry that had any more than a scrap of contents was nigh on impossible. When Sally went looking for Vegemite and found not one but seven almost empty jars she exclaimed "Luke! When *will* you scrap all this detritus?" To which Luke replied "Oh, I'll do it later". And thus his nickname was born.
Etymology: The mindset of the scrapulator: eh, I'll scrap you later

Sabottleur
Created by: splendiction
Pronunciation: SA bott le eur
Sentence: A sabottleur is a person known to cause sabotage with almost-empty bottles or containers. The nearly empty bottles build up in large quantities in the fridge. The collection will stink, occupy space and needlessly remain chilled. The sabottleur’s justification may be that leaving a small quantity is better than nothing. Often the sabottleur’s main motive is to avoid taking the time to recycle the container.
Etymology: From saboteur (a person who causes harm) and bottle.

Condimentalist
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: kon di men tal ist
Sentence: It was only after they had moved in together that Sandra realized she was living with a condimentalist.

Not only would she not know they had run out of something before she went for groceries, she would be forced to eat salads without dressings, fries without ketchup or hot dogs without the fixings. The only thing that cured him was when she placed empty beer bottles in the fridge on really hot days...wah, wah!
