Sherrychristmased

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: sher ree kris mast

Sentence: Nick had already been to five other homes on the block for his annual walkabout on Christmas Eve. Sampling nibblies and good cheer, by house #6, The Bailey's, he was plastered.

Etymology: Sherry (fortified wine, drunk as an aperitif) & Wordplay on "Merry Christmas"

Saintnipped

Created by: mweinmann

Pronunciation: saynt - nipped

Sentence: Joshua got saintnipped this near before arriving at his family Christmas gathering. Uncle Clyde's 20 minute monologue about his illustrious post office career didn't bother him this time, nor did Aunt Sara's endless questions about when he was going to bring home a nice Presbyterian girl to meet the family. Actually, all of these things started to seem amusing to Joshua for a change.

Etymology: This word combines Jolly Old Saint Nick (or Santa Claus) with the past tense of Nip (a small drink of liquor).
