Clever sentence! Beginning with a tongue-tripper for me ... and ending with Bob's angsttipsey tongue-tripping! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-08: 11:03:00
Your many verbots always amaze me. Sometimes, like zym today, you bring new words to me. My parents and grandparents liked to zym California grapes. I like to zym sweet dark red cherries into cherry brandy! Zym is now zimmed indelibly to my vocabulary! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-08: 11:10:00

Slurrealisation
Created by: emdeejay
Pronunciation: slur realise ayshun
Sentence: Samuel, or "Shixpack Shammy" as he was known to his colleagues was a troubled young lad. His entire life the world and people in particular seemed daft to him. Every day he woke to a prison of mediocrity and banality, where 'unreasonable' people refused to bend to suit his narcissistic views. Unable to stand the incessant anxiety, Sam escaped each evening to the comforts of drunken stupor; a slurrealistic realm where he was king. One evening after a particularly unproductive day of pointless meetings Sam snapped. He downed a case of his favourite lager, opened his laptop, and began to compose. He cajoled his colleagues, belittled his boss, and flummoxed his friends. Finally, exhausted and relieved, he collapsed upon his keyboard and drooled himself to sleep. The next day as he commuted, Sam opened his curiously sticky laptop and had a gut wrenching slurrealisation.
Etymology: "Slur": (a) A nasty statement directed at someone you dislike. (b) The chaotic cadence inherent in the speech of inebriated humans. "Realisation": The curious sensation felt when something new occurs to you. "Surreal": That's like, totally surreal man

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!!
