Spinagleyikes

metrohumanx

Created by: metrohumanx

Pronunciation: spin-AG-lay-ikes

Sentence: After consuming several bottles of fine New Jersy wine, Tommy savored the intimate caress of the cool floor tiles and realized that he WASN'T going to die just yet. When his glasses de-fogged, he checked the "sent" folder on his laptop and the SPINAGEYIKES gripped him like the angry fist of an ourang-outang. Giselle would certainly never speak to him again, his co-workers would treat him like a leper on the morrow, and his boss would NEVER let him take a week off work to go to that wordsmith festival in the desert. Trembling with SPINAGLEYIKES, Tommy realized that his best career option might be to: cut the soles off his shoes, live in a cave and learn to play the nose flute.

Etymology: SPIN+AGLEY+yIKES=SPINAGLEYIKES..........SPIN:to revolve rapidly,gyrate,to feel as if in a whirl,reel,to move swiftly especially on or as if on wheels or in a vehicle from hell,to fall in a spin,to plunge helplessly and out of control;Middle English spinnen, from Old English spinnan; akin to Old High German spinnan to spin and perhaps to Lithuanian spęsti to set (a trap).....AGLEY:chiefly Scottish, awry ,terribly wrong (the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley);Scots, from 1a- + gley to squint.....YIKES: exclamation,used to express fear or astonishment; probably alteration of yoicks (origin kind of blurry)

Bacchemailya

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: bak ee mayl ya

Sentence: Vinnie was not a guy who could hold his wine. The Riesling for this was because it was never his Sauterne to buy. Because he got free drinks, he could easily afford to drink more...way more than he should. He would often Mosel down to the local Wine Bar and order a few. After a few, he would Rhone back home and fire up his computer. It was then that he would send e-mails to everyone in his company, including his boss, and Pinot his thoughts and speculations on line. He crossed the Bordeaux when he said the Boss' sperm count was unusually Merlot and said it Shiraz been a while since the boss's wife, Sangria,had been living at their home. Vinnie blamed this on the cute Medoc in the local hospital where Sangria worked. Yes, if only Vinnie had not had his Bacchemailya, he could have been Sauvignon his job! Life is a Cabernet, Old Chum, only a Cabernet!

Etymology: Bacchanalia (used of riotously drunken merrymaking...named after Bacchus, Roman God of Wine & Intoxication) & E-mail (communicate electronically on the computer) & Ya (You, colloquially) & Back He Nail You (Revenge of your boss)

Ahh, e-mail and alcohol... They go together like peas and carrots, or like 'lack of inhibition' and 'lack of employment',
