Pronunciation: /ˈfɪləˌstɪŋk/

Etymology: From philistine (a person who is lacking in or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc.) + stink (a strong, offensive smell)

I got it straight off. Good one. - petaj, 2007-10-02: 08:29:00

Pronunciation: poop/yoo/lare/ity

Sentence: Norman thought it was a good thing when the boss told him he could join the crew on their rooftop lunch area. It had a great view, fresh air, and all the hot ladies seemed to be up there about noon. He had no idea it had nothing to do with his personality, but instead, everything to do with his poopularity. Everyone was convinced he not only ran in the park across the street daily, but that he also rolled around on the grass like dogs do when they find a scent they want to wear.

Etymology: poop (P.U.) popularity

Pronunciation: kon fa sens

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)
