Pronunciation: 'pil-fer-me-ter

Sentence: "I must not be tripping the signal" said Kimberly as she pilfermetered her way through the intersection. "Maybe you've passed it?" suggested Loretta. Kimberly reluctantly reversed several car lengths until she was as far behind the white line as she had been in front of it. "Oh, I'm sure this is much better" Kimberly quipped. But the joke was on Kimberly since she forgot to put her car into "drive" before impatiently accelerating into the car behind her.

Etymology: pilfer (stealthy and incremental theft) + meter (standard metric unit of measure)

Pronunciation: jēpərkrēpər

Sentence: Willy doesn't trust traffic lights. He is a jeepercreeper. Whenever he comes to a red light he will inch forward to get the sensor to trigger a green light. His friend G.P. once told him that many of the sensors in the road are designed for larger cars so he wants to allow a second car to get into the sensor zone to make sure that he doesn't have to sit at the light forever.

Etymology: Jeep (a small, sturdy motor vehicle with four-wheel drive, esp. one used by the military) Jeepers (exclamation used to express surprise or alarm) + creeper (one who moves slowly and carefully, esp. in order to avoid being heard or noticed)

Pronunciation: aw-toe-grinch

Sentence: Pamela was convinced that she had a gift. She believed that by starting to inch her car forward just a bit at the red light, it would turn green a little more quickly. She had turned into quite an autogrinch, lately and actually hoped for red lights just to give her practice.

Etymology: "Auto" which is derived from Automotible is added to the beginning of the word "green" as in green light, followed by "inch" as to move forward slowly, a little bit at a time. As a bonus, the word "grinch" reminds us of the Grinch who stole Christmas. The grinch is a catlike creature who has on occasion, demonstrated superhuman qualities
