Created by: mweinmann

Sentence: Stan was a busy man indeed. He was a splendid public speaker who liked to share his inspirational insights and stories with others.

What a time-saver, he thought. Stan never concerned himself with the fact that he had turned into a notorious cliphibitionist.
Etymology: "Clip" as to clip a toenail, hair or moustache + "exhibitionist" - a flaunter, flasher or pervert
