Pronunciation: KRINJ-lick

Sentence: Roxie spoke calmly; but as I looked at her countenance I observed a strange expression pass over it. "Are you in pain, Roxie?" I asked. " Not exactly, Bob," she answered; though I don't wish to alarm you by telling what Fido is about to do. As I watched Fido, muddy paws and all, was quickly making his way towards a lady dressed from head to toe in pink. In the next second, to my horror, his tail wagging fawnishly, and with his paws placed firmly on her waist, he planted his slobbery tongue on her chin. Although there was nothing I could do that was likely to do any good; but, by way of an apology, I try to explain to her about Fido's friendly zanimality for persons dressed in pink; whilst, at the same time, hoping that my love for Fido would carry me through this attack of cringelick, or whatever it was.

Etymology: CRINGE: To draw one's self together as in fear or crouch with base humility; to wince & LICK: to pass the tongue over the surface of, as to moisten, taste, or eat. ZANIMALITY: zany & animal & -ity.

COMMENTS:

VERY creative Ozziebob. But as FIDO's attorney, I must inform you that character assasination is prohibited by law. FIDO has paid for his crimes and is prevented from obtaining gainful employment by these constant media attacks on his character. I appeal to the pubic's sense of fair play and implore you to stop dragging FIDO's name through the mud and bringing it inside covered in dog saliva and leaving it on my good rug.... - metrohumanx, 2008-07-04: 08:06:00

I love zanimality too - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-04: 10:38:00

I have heard of other dogs who do this. Perhaps there's a cringelick epizootic? - Mustang, 2008-07-04: 17:12:00

Pronunciation: Fye - doe - DYE - doze

Sentence: The overly friendly and boisterous fidodidoes of his dog, Charlie, when visitors came around, had caused great consternation for Worthington and had even gotten to the point where he was considering getting rid of Charlie or abandoning his desire to entertain friends and coworkers.

Etymology: Blend of Fido (generic dog name) and didoes (mischievous tricks; pranks; antics)

COMMENTS:

FIDODIDOES is very creative. But why restrict ourselves to criticism of canine-americans? This smacks of rampant specieism. Love the word, though. Good work, MUSTANG! - metrohumanx, 2008-07-04: 07:43:00

fun to say - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-04: 10:34:00

Very interesting combination. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-07-05: 07:06:00
