Pronunciation: Pik-an-mix

It got to the stage when all his friends refused to go out with him because it had just got too embarrassing to sit there watching him remove his shoes and socks in public.

Etymology: Pick(to remove unwanted matter, i.e from toes) + Mix(to associate with others) = Pickanmix

Pronunciation: /vuhl'-groom-ər/

Sentence: Every time I looked over at Ted during the meeting, he was vulgrooming himself -- first, picking food out of his teeth, then with a finger stuck in his ear, digging around for earwax, which he later scraped off on the edge of the table -- as if the conference room were his personal bathroom, and the rest of us were simply intruding, and subject to witness his rather uncouth hygienic habits.

Etymology: vulgar (Latin, vulgāris - equiv. to vulg[us] the general public) + groom (possibly from Old French, grommet - "servant"); Vulgroom, -er, -ing
