Eliquoreckoning
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: ee lik er rekon ing
Sentence: Having the Stag party to his upcoming nuptials at his own swinging bachelor pad was, in hindsight, probably not such a great idea. At some point during the boozefest, it seemed to Kirk funny to forward e-mails to his prospective father-in-law and bride. In the foggy dawn of his wedding day the next morning, the e-mails had lost their humor...the day of eliquoreckoning had arrived. The father apparently did not appreciate the on-line newspaper printing his obituary or getting tons of spam from Viagra companies, escort agencies and penile implant firms. His daughter objected just as strongly to all the e-mail she was getting from the local prison inmates and the public health clinic about her social disease inquiries. Surprisingly, he had a curt e-mail from the lovely Jolene cancelling their wedding and from her father, one threatening every kind of legal action and public shunning. On the other hand, Kurt was inspired to invent a booze shield which prevents e-mail from working if alcohol is detected on the breath of the sender...he's filthy rich now. It's called a Breath-e-lizer.
Etymology: e-(electronic communication); Liquor (alcohol, booze) & Reckoning (an unpleasant or disastrous destiny;consequence of an action)
Thirstyjohnny
Created by: fatcat
Pronunciation: thir stee jon nee
Sentence: "Bill pulled a Thirstyjohnny last night," said Will.
Etymology: Thirsty (to drink heavily) Johnny (someone bored and has lots of time on their hands)
Queasemail
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: kwēzēmāl
Sentence: When Sidney woke up on Saturday morning he dragged himself to the computer to survey the damage he might have caused the night before. Through the haze of far-too-much and way-too late he remembered how he thought it would be amusing to see if he could send e-mails to everybody in his address book. Most of them were stupid or made no sense at all but there, in the SENT folder, was the queasemail - that one that he felt deep in the pit of his stomach. The one that felt like Chuck Norris had kicked him - the kind of kick that makes you expect to find your spleen laying somewhere in the living room. That was when the sun came out. He looked in his inbox and found a number of "huh?" responses and the one that saved him. He had sent THE ONE to his girlfriend's old e-mail address and it had been kicked back. Time to take some Tylenol and get the day started. What had he said to her? You'll have to ask him. His delete key works just fine.
Etymology: queasy (nauseated; feeling sick) e-mail (messages distributed by electronic means from one computer user to one or more recipients via a network)

COMMENTS:
Not fair! What had he done? Proposed? Told her off? - wayoffcenter, 2008-12-03: 05:33:00
That sentence sure packs a PUNCH(bowl)! - metrohumanx, 2008-12-03: 16:35:00

Created by: Magnetic

Cyboozeled
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /sai-BOO-zuhld/
Sentence: Jack had written a note to himself, "Don't drink and e-mail" on his sticky-note pad, which he had apparently been using as a beer coaster, but the next morning as he perused his 'Sent' folder and saw the e-mail to his boss, calling him a "sissyboy", he knew he'd cyboozeled himself out of another job. He laid his throbbing head down next to the phone to await the inevitable call to inform him of his unemployed status.
Etymology: cyber - as in 'cyberspace' (slang for electronic communication) + booze - any alcoholic beverage (from Middle Dutch, busen "to drink heavily") & foozled - bungled; played clumsily (golf slang; Perhaps from German dial., fuseln "work poorly or slowly")

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