Sloblutions

metrohumanx

Created by: metrohumanx

Pronunciation: slaw-BLOO-shunz

Sentence: TrimTim had many revolting habits which had a tendency to sicken, nauseate and repel even even the most uncultured buffoons. He would perform the grossest SLOBLUTIONS in public places, spitting with abandon like a professional baseball player, even though he never had a profession to speak of. Even the homeless people gave him a wide berth lest they be caught in his radius of repugnance and have their precarious social standing reduced even further......ugh!

Etymology: SLOB+abLUTIONS=SLOBLUTIONS.....SLOB:a slovenly or boorish person;Irish slab mud, ooze, slovenly person.....ABLUTIONS:the washing of one's body or part of it;Middle English, from Middle French or Late Latin; Middle French, from Late Latin ablution-, ablutio, from Latin abluere to wash away, from ab- + lavere to wash.

I like your word! The onomatopoeia of the 'cisscisssorise' of it is awesome! The play on those two words is very clever. I think you could give this word a few more daffynitions ... than the one it was made up for ... or the one you gave ... like: cutting off the narcissist before he made you gag on his ego! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 15:10:00
