I guess we were thinking along the same lines, and looks like we posted at the same time too. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 05:13:00

And would the adjective/adverp of this word Guccipooch ... be Guccipoochie? Love your word's rhythm and rhyme! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:04:00

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I give up. My brain is affected by all this verboticism activity ... now I'm typing adverp for adverb. Not sure it was a fingerslip or a brainslip ... maybe I need to dental floss my brain after being too long on this website! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:06:00

Pronunciation: Pet owned

Sentence: Jack and Jill always gaped in astonishment with a ready phrase of derision lodged in their throats every time Miss Amelia Ampersand passed their house with her baby stroller, in which a poodle lolled with the highest class. It was decked out with the finest accessories known to caninekind (and humankind as well, in some aspects) in a garish display of petownership. "Geez," said Jack, shaking his head in disbelief. "Talk about being petowned." "Imagine extraterrestrials," cried Jill with intensity, "coming along and seeing this pethetic display...what will they think?!" "That humans are the enslaved wards of these four-legged superiors, bridled into succumbing to each and every demand, including the insidious latrine duty?" "Yes!"

Etymology: Pet (animal often treated with affection by their owners) & owned (to possess something)

"Moggie" is a common term for a cat in Australia - Is its use widespread - or even known - in other parts of the English speaking world? - OZZIEBOB, 2007-12-11: 06:48:00

"Moggie" seems to be used more by predominantly British-influenced populations. I've never heard it used here (Eastern U.S.) but I'm not really a 'cat person' either. Interesting blend, BTW. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 14:37:00

I love the way it sounds - Jabberwocky, 2007-12-11: 14:45:00

In Encarta's dictionarie there is no moggie ... only a moggy and here's the definition they gave: mog·gy [ móggee ] (plural mog·gies) noun Definition: U.K. ( informal ) Same as cat (sense 2) [Late 17th century. Variant of aggie - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 15:58:00
