Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: par lee a men dass it tee

Sentence: The Right Honodorable Member of Parliament for the riding of Stenchley-Stink Lake, Saskatcheeewwwan was Mr. Reek Ansmell.

He was the King of parliamendacity, as his riding had a pulp and paper mill, a large abbattoir and a sour gas plant running 24-7, in which he held shares. These smelly plants also accounted for the fact that he and his constituents had lost their olfactory senses and never knew how bad their B.O. was to the rest of the country!

Sentence: The Right Honorable Member of Parliament for False Creek, Mr. Ben Dover made long, eloquent and passionate speeches. If not strictly full of truths, they were truths as he saw them.

Etymology: Fib (tell a relatively insignificant lie) & Filibuster (a tactic for delaying or obstructing legislation by making long speeches;a legislator who gives long speeches in an effort to delay or obstruct legislation that he (or she) opposes;to obstruct deliberately by delaying; of legislation)
