Pronunciation: SOO-DOE-sa-lubri-cated

Sentence: Alfie's drinking philosophy could be stated quite simply: pound down a few shots before attending any social event where sparking wit might be called for. Alfie believed in getting PSEUDOSALUBRICATED...obtaining a "healthy buzz" before showcasing his karaoke skills and performing handstands on the bar. Although he was known to occasionally eat the label from a wine bottle, Alfie stubbornly refused to admit that a person could PSEUDOSALUBRICATE himself too much. Always entertaining, he often left the premises strapped to a hand truck.

Etymology: PSEUDO+SALUBrious+lubRICATED= PSEUDOSALUBRICATED.....PSEUDO:being apparently rather than actually as stated, false, fake;Middle English, from Late Latin pseudo.....SALUBRIOUS:favorable to or promoting health or well-being, especially in a social setting;Latin salubris; akin to salvus safe, healthy.....LUBRICATED:to make smooth or slippery, to imbibe just enough alcohol to make something bearable;Latin lubricatus, past participle of lubricare, from lubricus slippery.

Pronunciation: al-co-hol-ly-jol-ly

Sentence: Kris was having an Alcohollyjolly Christmas and arrived at the office party lit like a Christmas Tree. Usually quiet and reserved, he was nervous about talking to people he didn't know, so he allowed himself some liquid courage beforehand. Showing up late and dressed in a Santa Suit, he hit the egg-nog right away. His coworkers laughed and dismissed the behaviour, but they drew the line when he began to offer the women there a chance to check out his "package" and go to his "sleigh" to see Rudolph. The next day he realized that it's probably not a good idea to get too jolly at a law firm's Holiday party when he exchanged his Santa Suit for a Sexual Harassment Suit.

Etymology: "A Holly Jolly Christmas,"(1962) -- a popular Christmas song sung by Burl Ives and composed by Johnny Marks, a Jewish composer who also penned "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." + alcohol: intoxicant
