Pronunciation: for mer moanz

Sentence: Although they had officially broken up, Dick and Mona always enjoyed their Friday nights. Their deal had been that if either had no current love interest, they would get together for a formermoans session. It sounded like a friends with benefits relationship but carried on much further. One had to wonder why it still occurred after each had been happily wed to others for a number of years? What if their prospective grandchildren found out?

Etymology: Former (ex, previous) & Moans (an utterance expressing pain or disapproval or joy or sexual desire) -Wordplay on Pheromones (a chemical substance secreted externally by some animals (especially insects) that influences the physiology or sexual behavior of other animals of the same species)

I switched to IPA for pronounciation. It makes it seem more professional, which makes it seem funnier to me. - ErWenn, 2007-02-16: 10:38:00

The funny thing is that I don't even watch Gilmore Girls. All I know, I pick up from snippets overheard from the other room while doing my homework while my better half watches. - ErWenn, 2007-02-16: 10:40:00
