Sentence: Adam Reek was no ordinary salesman. Every lunch he went for a run and came back to stink up the whole office. He was so delusional he thought that the ladies in the office were envious of his confiscents and mistook their attention for attraction. The receptionist, Rose Aroma, particularly objected to his stench, as it permeated the entire office and she was afraid people might think it emanated from her. She complained, but the boss reminded her that Adam somehow sold more than anyone else in the office (obviously by phone and Internet)and was a valued employee of distinktion. Yes, thought Rose, rank has it's privileges.

Etymology: Confidence (freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities) & Scents (smell, stench, aroma,odor,olfactory senses)

Pronunciation: OB-lih-vile

Sentence: Victor was a real OBLIVILE. Although he worked in an old factory, he never missed a chance to pass up a shower. Constantly surrounded by a pungent mephitis, most folks assumed a dead ungulate was buried nearby. At the company picnic, Victor was reekinatus- even when we sat downwince of him. His stencharoma began to repugnegrate on us all, and when Shirley adressed him as "BacteriOllie", Victor was fetadamant...claiming the deadly vapours were not his to control. Aloof, unswayed and unwashed, Victor the OBLIVILE will always retain a top ranking in the annals of aromagression.

Etymology: OBLIVious+vILE=OBLIVILE (n) OBLIVIOUS:lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness especially of one's shortcomings or odours.....VILE: disgustingly or utterly bad;physically repulsive-Middle English, from Anglo-French vil, from Latin vilis.
