Pronunciation: green/gad/fly

Sentence: He knew he had met his match when he encountered the leaf-lorn "Greengadfly" as he pitched his woo in the curbside recycle bin.

Etymology: although the origin of the word dates back to the time when a "fly bit the cattle", today in our politically-correct environment it is more closely associated with vagarious, vanity-conscious vegans

Want to do a little recycling in the sunshine!"

Etymology: green and creepy!

Sentence: Being the greennose that Bill was, he approached Matilda and asked if he could dispose of her used Soda Can after lunch in an ecologically correct collection device.

Etymology: green + brown nose
