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)

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.

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!!

COMMENTS:

Super word and super etymology - silveryaspen, 2008-12-03: 17:06:00

Hangmailing sounds like a hanging offense...Good Word! - Nosila, 2008-12-03: 20:51:00
