Verboticisms

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: DOOM-Shark

Sentence: Feelbad world, along with a daily dose of dread and damnation, flowed frenetically across the airwaves every evening, delivered by a diamond-dripping doomshark preaching tarabolical times ahead for mankind. But for those faithful who fawnishly followed this foolmonger, and his fickle-feel philosophy, there was much more to fear from him here on terra firma, for financial fleecing was his forte.

Etymology: A conflation of "doom": death, ruin, sad or evil destiny & "shark", (slangish): confidence trickster, parasite, crooked business person (as in land shark, loan shark).

Sentence: It has become clear that a lot of figures that demand attention for their religion or for the Earth are nothing more than preachleechers.

Etymology: Basically a combination of a preacher, someone who preaches, and a leecher, which seems pretty self-explanatory if you ask me.
