Pronunciation: floss/sum/and/jet/jam

Sentence: The dentist disapproved of my flossumandjetjam system of dental hygiene but I couldn't resist keeping those little morsels of jam seeds between my teeth for afternoon snacking.

Etymology: flotsan and jetsam (floating debris) + floss + jet (black) + jam

COMMENTS:

You get my vote, but it should be mentioned that flotsam and jetsam aren't necessarily floating debris. According to Brewer's Phrase and Fable, flotsam is debris that has washed up onshore. - Clayton, 2007-05-24: 07:21:00

Thanks Clayton - I'll have to revise my character and have him living as a beach bum, sleeping on the sand with his mouth open - Jabberwocky, 2007-05-24: 08:48:00

Pronunciation: teeth - bits

Sentence: The teethbits I saw on Anna seemed especially yummy. Anchovies and pepperoni, I had a hunch she had pizza for lunch. In order to prove my point, I just had to kiss her and using my tongue, taste those teethbits for myself. Right now, I'm in custody for sexual assault... all for the sake of "Teethbit Investigation: The Anchovy Murder".

Etymology: tidbits [morsels, can either be gossip or food] + teeth; the etymology is simple actually
