Doomshark
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).
