Pronunciation: gal lur eeeek

Sentence: When her friend Giles asked her to his loft, Heather was appalled to find the place was a shrine to her, with thousands of shots of her hanging on every wall. When she ran out, she went to the police and complained about the galleryeek. Giles isn't her friend anymore, since she got him jailed for stalking. Giles is too tired to think about Heather. His new roomie, Big Tiny, has now taken to plastering their cell with pictures of Giles and gives him long hungry glances. Giles sits up wide awake each night with his back to the wall. If you hang pictures in a prison, does that gallery becomes a cellery?

Etymology: Gallery (a room or series of rooms where works of art are exhibited) & Gall (inclined to take liberties;a feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will)& Reek (offensively unpleasant) & Eek (cartoon word to describe a squeal of fright)
