Whineocerus
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: whyne oss ser us
Sentence: Wendy Whiner was a human Whineocerus. We all knew when she made an error, because she would whine and whine about how she had failed. Frankly, we were sick of it. Everyone makes errors and hopefully learns from them, but not Wendy. No, she moaned and groaned to the point where a bullet in your brain would be less painful. Sick to death of her antics, one day, when the Whineocerus was flaring her nostrils and starting to "do her thing", our boss brought her a large wheel of aged cheese and told her in so uncertain terms to have a little cheese with her whine! That's when Wendy dropped Cerus and became a full-time Whine-o!
Etymology: Whine (a complaint uttered in a plaintive, whining way;complain whiningly;whinge) & Rhinoceros (massive powerful herbivorous odd-toed ungulate of southeast Asia and Africa having very thick skin and one or two horns on the snout)

Ixzucdosj

Pronunciation: /iks - zuc - doz - jjjjraaaaaa/
Sentence: "Majimbo! Why didn't I kill you when I had the chance? Ixzucdosj! Now you killed Vegetta, Trunks, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin and all the other tards that existed! I'll kill you! Super Sayan!" And Goku died a horrible death when his hair stood on one end and lost its color & died a sudden death of prostate cancer.
Etymology: Just one of the random words you get when you type in frustration. Among other words involved in this series is: ijhefib, jsdhfjxcv, and the infamous sodihgvnwoei. Apparently, this word has a resemblance to "exact dosage" and may signify nothing at all.

Created by: cohenarie
Pronunciation: exactly as one would expect
Sentence: "Fudgemuffins" was actually the interjection I used in elementary school - butter wouldn't melt in my mouth back then.
