Pronunciation: uh-GOG-go-MOH-beel-EE-uh

Sentence: It was true, Bob was jaloopy. Indeed, it would need a entire chapter in a medical dictionary to adequately describe the vagaries of his Obsessive Carpulsive Disorder. At first he succumbed to ferrariosis; then he was humberstruck; recovered for a short time, only to fall victim again to isuzulatry. But when he discovered, and purchased the first goggomobil, made by Hans Glaz, he was completely overtaken by acute agoggomobilia.

Etymology: The "GOGGOMOBIL" a microcar produced in the Bavarian town Dingolfing after World War II by Hans Glas. Blended with AGOG: bewitched, enthralled, thrilled, joyful, breathless & MOBIL: motor car & IA: state, complaint, medical condition.

Pronunciation: in-ANN-ah-morr-us

Sentence: The vibration of the unbalanced washer shook the ceiling pot rack, the pans on it sounding a cacophony of distant gongs. Roger sighed, and picked up the evening paper, turning on the dim orange sodium light of the old table lamp next to him. Shortly after the shaking stopped, he heard feet hit the floor. Marjorie emerged from the stairs looking flushed, carrying an empty hamper. "You know," Roger started slowly, not looking up from the paper, "we could get a new machine since that one is so far out of balance?" Her face fell. "Oh, we don't need to spend that kind of money right now. Besides, this one does a fabulous job with my delicates." She paled when she realized her innuendo, and the paper folded down to reveal a stone-faced Roger, locking her in a stare. His steeled eyes revealed his knowledge of her inanimorus affair with the Maytag 7800 front loader. The weight of 34 years of marriage dimmed the light in the already dark wood-paneled room. Scattered cords of light dodged around the edges of the curtains, revealing how dusty the room was. She tracked a small piece of lint suspended in a ray between them as it drifted on thermals and drafts, in and out of the beam of light, to avoid his gaze. Eyes refocused as Roger slowly lifted his paper back to reading level. Marjorie saw the harsh outline of his eyes soften and the glint of a tear just before they were once again replaced with headlines proclaiming the latest tournament Cinderella. She filled and put the kettle on the stove, and left the room.

Etymology: inanimate + amorous

Pronunciation: spin fat you eh shun

Sentence: Carl loved his car, in fact you could say he had a bad case of spinfatuation. His favourite book and movie had been Stephen King's "Christine", so when he first took her out for a spin (or as he called it, on their first date), he named her Christine. His spinfatuation was automatic and he spent many hours learning auto repair, because he did not want all those grease monkeys down at the local garage touching her sleek chassis, never mind looking under her hood. His time alone with her in the garage soon became a fixation. His mother was worried, but found it hard to torque to him about it. She tried to steer him towards other activities (or even appliances), but he refused to shift and always yelled back at her, until she was exhausted. Her concerns were further fueled by his talking about marrying Christine. She argued that this love was not the wheel thing and their age differential was too great. His mother almost had a hemi one day when she discovered that Carl had left a note saying that he and Christine had eloped. The next day, Carl walked home, leaking eye fluids, without the lovely Christine. His mother saw that he was ready to blow a gasket and asked him what happened. Carl broke down and said "I have made a complete axle of myself on my wedding night!" He told her that he had found out when she had made a transmission, that Christine had had some "work" done on her before they met, she was really a convertible... she used to be known as Christopher! She became the little engine that couldn't. Carl lost all his inhibitors and committed battery first and then vehicular homicide. He had come home to look for his cables...the jumpers. We knew it would all end in gears...Oh, the heart brake!

Etymology: spin (a drive in a car;twist and turn so as to give an intended interpretation;or make up a story) & infatuation (foolish and usually extravagant passion or love or admiration)

Pronunciation: ee rot oka

Sentence: Hot Rod, that's what the girls called him. He was hot and his name was Rod. But Rod was oblivious to the hungry stares of the girls around. He only had eyes for his sweetie, the wicked Fuelina. She had curves, she was powerful, she purred like a kitten when Rod got her going. They spent an inordinate amount of time together. Rod's mom was worried, because the neighbours complained that he & Fuelina "carried on" in the driveway until all hours. With her classy chassis and need for speed, Rod was mesmerized by her. One day, Rod's dad took him aside and told him a few hard truths. "Son, when I was your age, I thought I was in love, too, with Maggie. But I soon realized that it wasn't really love, it was just erautoca. There was no future for us and she gew old and worn out long before I did. The same thing will happen to you. She's a lovely car, but she'll break your heart. Soon the spark will die and you'll be looking for a newer model. Enjoy her while you can, but get yourself a real girl to marry and settle down with...no car lasts forever and you don't want to end up alone and taking the bus!"

Etymology: erotica (creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire) & Auto (short for automobile, vehicle)
