Pronunciation: tran sports ill us trated

Sentence: Just as soon as it was recognized as a valid competition by the International Olympic Organizing Committee, June was going to try out for the transportsillustrated team. She was sure her daily rides had allowed her the quality time to practice and now she was a world class contender. Why if those IOOC dudes were to try and keep up with her demanding commute each day, they would see for themselves she could sway and lurch, without hands, on the bus, the Metro, the seabus and the commuter train. She could see it all now...the excitement of the Grand March into the Olympic Stadium with her fellow contenders, clad in smart uniforms proudly walking to the national anthem. She could see action photos of her coming over the news agency clips. She could see herself proudly accepting her Gold Medal for her country, which would put them at the top of the rankings. She would see her picture on the cover of Transports Illustrated Magazine as Athlete of the Year. When she triumphantly returned to a grateful hometown reception, she would have to hire an agent to handle all her commercial endorsements. Yes, the dream of glory was her inspiration to keep perfecting her game. Whoops...her reverie had caused her to miss her stop, again!

Etymology: transport (move while supporting, either in a vehicle or in one's hands or on one's body;move something or somebody around; usually over long distances) & Sports (an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition) & Sports Illustrated (Popular magazine about, well, Sports & Bathing Suits)

Pronunciation: brākdans

Sentence: Cindy didn*t use to enjoy her ride to work. When she didn*t get a seat, which was often, she would grab a strap and hold on for dear life. If she had stopped for coffee she would often spill it on herself or other passengers, maybe even sloshing some up her nose. Now she will get on the bus and forgo a seat even if available. The new sport is to brakedance all the way to work, holding on to nothing, swaying with every lurching turn and every sudden application of the brakes. It wakes her up so much better than a stop at Starbucks.

Etymology: Brake (a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle) + dance (move rhythmically to music) play off breakdancing
