Verboticisms

Created by: metrohumanx

Pronunciation: SAN-ih-dupe

Sentence: Sasha slept till noon and if Bob wanted a cup of coffee or a spoon, he had to wash one. As he glared at the mound of laundry slowly growing like the Himalayas, Bob realized he had become a SANIDUPE...meekly picking up the things which others had dropped, and cleaning up without complaint. NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY! He packed all the dishes and eating utensils into the attic, save one set of each. Casually reaching for a clean plate was a thing of the past. Bob's place was NOT a democracy, dammit! It was a benevolent dictatorship, and if everyone had to live a monastic way of life....TOUGH! Sasha soon moved out, taking her piano and Bob's heart, but leaving her three cats behind, complete with three fragrant litter boxes. Now Bob stares at the candle as he sits on his solitary kitchen chair, filling sandbags and feeling like the curator of a turd museum. He was SANIDUPED again!

Etymology: SANItary+DUPE=SANIDUPE.....SANITARY:of or relating to health,of, relating to, or used in the disposal of repugnant domestic waste; French sanitaire, from Latin sanitas.....DUPE:one that is easily deceived, cheated or conned into performing chores for others;French, from Middle French duppe, probably alteration of huppe hoopoe.....

Sentence: "The holly arrives Friday. Will you help make holly wreaths Friday night? the president of the Optimist club said. "We start selling them this Saturday. They have to be ready." Handy Andy suckcomed (succombed) with a reluctant "Okay". He was very busy during the holly days. Friday night, only Handy Andy and the president of the Optimist club showed up. He was stuck making holly wreaths all night, right up to Saturday morning, when people began arriving to buy them. Looking around for help from the president, he soon discovered the president had snuck out on him, leaving him to stay all day, selling them, alone. His mind kept silently repeating "succorsucker!"

Etymology: Succor - to give aid and assistance. Sucker - as a noun: pushover, fall guy, dupe - also as a verb: conned, tricked, duped.
