Pronunciation: furt-food-ling

Sentence: So I decided to use my skills of 'furtfoodling' to avoid any unwanted distractions.

Etymology: 'furt' is taken from furtively (meaning trying not to be seen), and 'food' is from the obvious word food, and 'ling' is added to make it a verb. So you can clearly see the combined meaning, and this covers the definition well.
