Pronunciation: flab it tat

Sentence: Living so close to the Arctic Circle, all species here gain extra weight to keep them warm through the cold winter nights and hibernation. Besides polar bears, seals, walrus, humans too gain extra body weight for this season. We like to call it flabitat. Those extra calories, from rich food and antifreeze (booze),that's what keeps us warm through bizzards, snowplows and Hockey Night in Canada.

Etymology: Flab (fat, excess poundage) & Habitat (the type of environment in which an organism or group normally lives or occurs)

Pronunciation: insəlflāt

Sentence: As soon as the days started shortening, Chet knew it was time to insulflate. He would shamelessly start packing on the pounds to be sure he would get through the winter in good shape.

Etymology: insulate (protect by interposing material that prevents the loss of heat) + inflate (increase by a large or excessive amount)

Pronunciation: blōtkōt

His only regret is that he has not been able to find a ready source of muktuk.

Etymology: bloat (become swollen with fluid or gas) + coat (an outer garment worn outdoors, having sleeves and typically extending below the hips)
