Annoysome
Created by: astorey
Pronunciation: a/noy/sum
Sentence: After his divorce, Brian was back on the market and ready to let everyone in the office know it. Not that they had any doubt, as you could smell his Drakkar Noir from several offices away.

Stenchutzpa
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: sten-CHUTZ-pa
Sentence: Bob was a bit of a nidork, blithely unaware of the effect his dyspongnosis had on others. Often he would loudly exclaim: "Here I am again, fragrant as a rose." Frequently office conversations were punctuated by puffs of perfume as this self-assured stenchutzpa sauntered by. Even the suggestion that he should take up "Pong Shui" was meet with the usual response of "no sweat." But when he resolutely declared that he didn't come down in the last shower his fellow workers could take no more.
Etymology: Stench & chutzpa; boldness, brashness, gall, effrontery, Nidork (nidor & dork); Dyspongnosis: condition of bad smell; Pong shui (shoo away the pong)
