Pronunciation: mooz ik

Sentence: It's my own fault, thought Melodie. Having no other clue what to buy her Granny who had everything, for Christmas, she gave her an IPod and showed her how to load up tunes into it. Granny loved it and used it all the time. Trouble was, she cranked it so loud, everyone for miles around could hear it, especially Melodie. It was so loud in fact she could not hear her own tunes. "Granny!", she shouted, "Your moozeic would not be so bad if your vulgar rap tunes did not drown out my classical composers. I can't Handel the racket anymore. You're now off my Liszt...unless you turn the volume Bach down!"

Etymology: Music (an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner) & Ooze (to seep out; to leak)

Etymology: ear + ejaculate (shooting out of)

Sentence: Heather will never forget the day Grandma volunteered to accompany her 8th grade class on the field trip. She had no idea. Had she known, she would have skipped school for sure.
