Counterpartner

Created by: silveryaspen

Pronunciation: counter partner - (noun for a perfect match)

Sentence: Peter had the harebrained idea to invite a bunch of honey bunnies to his hare ball, hoping to find his true love among them. Peter, in coat'n'tails, looked very debonhare, not at all like the the other harelequins. Making a haremonic progression among the lovely honey bunnies, he approached Jean Harelow, the sexiest hare piece of all. She smiled, immediately attracted by his hare raising charms. "My what a beautiful hare dress you're wearing! I love your blonde hare style," Peter gushed, giving her his stale old harelines. The whiffs of bad air, from his hare lips, twitched her nose up. She stared down at him, giving him the silent treatment, and a real hare cut. By a hare's breath, she was unwilling to give his other qualities their proper hare due, even though he was her perfect counterpartner.

Etymology: COUNTERPART, PARTNER. Counterpart - either of two parts that fit together or are complementary. Partner - either member of an established couple in a love relationship.

Another wiled hare story! (I don't think there is anything left for tomorrow ... might not make my goal ... of a wiled hair for every day this week.) - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 01:24:00

Love your hare-raising stories...they are 14 carrot! Reminds me of some bunnies we once had...Rabbit Redford, Bunny Goodman and Scarlett O'Hare! - Nosila, 2009-02-12: 01:33:00

counter could also be opposed to - Jabberwocky, 2009-02-12: 13:17:00

absolutely correct Jabberwocky. It so obvious I didn't even give it a thought. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 13:24:00

guess the word could fit both parts of the definition Jabberwocky ... thanks for pointing that out! Now blow in my ear and give me a brain transplant, so I won't be such an air head, or should that be harehead again! - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 13:45:00

Obloveous

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: ob luv ee us

Sentence: Bertrand was so obloveous, he failed to notice the admiring looks and attentiveness of his assistant, Wanda. He was a chemical scientist, whose right side of the brain had apparently been gripped too tight by the forceps at birth. He lived for chemical equations, experiments and reactions. She was the faithful, undemanding, caring nerd-girl with a huge IQ and stellar academic career. One day she decided to change her looks and get his under-developed attention once and for all. Some clever cosmetics to bring out her pretty face, a trip to the salon, contact lenses, a new flashy wardrobe and a resultant new sense of confidence turned Wanda from a shy lab-rat into a comic-book heroine. Bertrand knew something was afoot when he walked into work and his thick glasses immediately fogged up (a reaction). Suddenly, the table of elements and properties of inert gases no longer held the same attraction they once did. The new equation featured Wanda in his every thought. He found himself studying the romance poets for inspiration and sprucing up his own physical appearance to be worthy of her attention (an experiment). For the first time in his life, he knew what chemistry between consenting adults really meant.

Etymology: oblivious (failing to notice the obvious;forgetful, inattentive, unmindful of something) & Love (any object of warm affection or devotion;a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction)

COMMENTS:

Maybe it was just a case of radioattractivity. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 01:32:00

i try to keep away from the inert gases myself, not to mention the ert ones - galwaywegian, 2009-02-12: 08:46:00

From a shy lab rat to Cinderella! Voila'!! Great word. - Mustang, 2009-02-12: 18:13:00
