Pronunciation: viz ah jen ne ree

Sentence: Let's face it, Claude is a visagenary when it comes to reading people...he can't. He has a lot of cheek, he gives a lot of lip and it's hard for him not to brow beat people. He nose it is wrong, but he runs off at the mouth. Clause does it for attend chin and rather than lose face, he misinterprets peoples' expressions. One of these days, he will get it in the kisser if he's not careful... a homemade facelift. Then no one will be able to read his facial expressions either, cause he'll have to go to a plastic surgeon, not a real one to save face.

Etymology: Visage (the appearance conveyed by a person's face;the human face) & Nary (not a one) & Visionary (a person with unusual powers of foresight;a person given to fanciful speculations and enthusiasms with little regard for what is actually possible)

Ha! I read "attend chin" about ten times before I got it, then I laughed like a maniac... I'm so tired. Nice word though! - Tigger, 2008-07-09: 01:35:00

Pronunciation: snuh BLIV ee us

Sentence: As Ron and Janie were leaving the restaurant, and Janie said vaguely, "Yes, uh, we should get together sometime," Ron didn't pick up on the fact that this was basically a kiss-off. He should have been clued in by the fact that when she said it, she was A. looking at her watch, B. looking bored, C. NOT looking at him, D. NOT giving him her phone number, and E. NOT asking him for HIS phone number. Actually, the fact that she hadn't smiled once during their whole dinner date probably should have been hint #1, but he had interpreted that as intense interest in him. He was so snublivious that he took out his calendar and started leafing through it looking for good days to go out again. He was surprised when she began inching away and suddenly jumped into an available cab. Looking back later, he asked himself, "How come I never see this coming?"

Etymology: snub + oblivious
