Pronunciation: ˈfæn si fest

Sentence: Good taste is easy to recognize, and it's hard to miss Zinnia running her weekend errands with Mr. Tuxedo. Not a black and white cat, Mr. Tuxedo is a pampered pooch with a taste for haute couture. Zinnia recalls: "Well, his name is a bit of a misnomer. He stopped wearing tuxedos after his third birthday and Balenciaga had that amazing collection inspired by bug exoskeletons." Kimberly complained to Loretta "she's turned one of God's most beautiful domesticated animals into a FancyBeast."

Etymology: Fancy (fantastic quality or taste) + Beast (animal) Play on cat food brand "Fancy Feast"

Pronunciation: FALL-ee-COD-uhl (follycoddler,follycoddled)

Sentence: Mad Shirley lived in an unheated garage with her two poorly behaved, recalcitrant canine-americans, Duchess and Duke. Mad Shirley FOLLYCODDLED her dogs to the point where she had no discretionary income of her own, even though she fancied herself the "alpha male" of her pack. Mad Shirley's few friends tolerated her lunacy, until she declined a much-needed kidney transplant operation so that she could pay for Botox injections for Duchess, and a new wardrobe for Duke. Surely Shirly shouldn't shirk her daily doggie duties, but a diet of Purina Pro-Plan probably promoted her early demise....although she DID have a glossy coat when they found her. WOOF!

Etymology: FOLLY+CODDLE=FOLLYCODDLE.....FOLLY:lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight regarding the treatmentof domesticated animules,criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct,an excessively costly or unprofitable undertaking,a foolish act or idea;Middle English folie, from Anglo-French, from fol fool .....CODDLE:to treat with extreme or excessive care or kindness, often to the point of ridiculosity;perhaps from caudle (1598 AD)
