Created by: Nosila

Etymology: Horn (horny, looking for lust) & Ornament (decoration, adornment, something used to beautify something/one)
Masqueraid
Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: mas-kuh-raid
Sentence: Agnes peered out at the world through narrowed eyes shielded behind cat's eye eyeglasses. She shifted her weight and raised her copy of Atlas Shrugged a little higher, so it could easily be seen over the divider between the booths in the coffee shop. Pretending to stare intensely at her masqueraid novel, she instead glowered out at all of the other patrons, the sheep, who sat there reading their John Grisham tripe or their Danielle Steele fluff. No one had the good taste thus far to come over and compliment her on her sublime taste in literature, so she surreptitiously slipped her copy of "On the Road" out of her oversized shag carpet purse, split the book open around the halfway mark, and began her charade anew.
Etymology: masquerade - a social gathering invovling people wearing masks or costumes + aid - something that assists in a task

Assessoreyes
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: ASS sess or ize
Sentence: Yup, Darryl certainly put the word "ass" in assessoreyes. In fact if he bent over fast, most of his would spill out for all to see (and he'd get a little behind in his housework). Good thing St.Pat's was only a month or so away, so he'd be able to put on his green pair! Butt, I digress...
Etymology: Ass (we all know one or two) & accessories & eyes (seeing those shorts hurts mine)
