Hangmailed
Created by: mweinmann
Pronunciation: hayng - maled
Sentence: Riley really felt hangmailed this morning in more ways than one. First, there was the enormous headache and queasiness from his hangover. But most horribly, he felt a sense of impending doom over the emails he thought he remembered sending last night. Did he really tell off his boss, his girlfriend, his brother and his best friend all in the span of a few hours? He was afraid to open his inbox.
Etymology: Hang (kill by hanging, hang one's head in shame; to be menacing, burdensome, or oppressive; "This worry hangs on my mind") + Hang is the beginning of the word hangover. The last part of the word is mailed (past tense of mail, as in its too late)....you've been hanged with your mail!!

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)
Alcotrepemailidation
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: al-kuh-trep-ee-meyl-i-dey-shuhn
Sentence: As he wakes from a weekend of partying Jerry sees his laptop and is filled with alcotrepemailidation. Did he really send those flaming emails that he was thinking about?

Etymology: alcohol (liquor) + email (a system for sending messages from one individual to another via telecommunications links between computers or terminals) + trepidation (tremulous fear, alarm, or agitation; perturbatio)
Mailady
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: Mail ah dee
Sentence: Mailanie Mailaprop, also known as Mrs. Mailaprop, loved pina coladas, especially the way mweinmann made them up and served them. It was the Mailabu rum in them that inspired Mrs. Mailaprop to fire off mailicious mailshots in the drunken dead of night. When opened the next morning, the crapnel (crappy shrapnel) from these mail bomb explosions, ricocheted back to hit Mrs. Mailaprop. Oh! How she suffered from this Mailady!
Etymology: Mail, Malady ... Mail - send out messages via email. Malady - suffering from a disease or disorder, as in suffering from the physical disorder of a hangover - plus the mail disorder from writing under the influence.

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)
