Pronunciation: preech/fuz

Sentence: Evelyn was sure she had met the man of her dreams. Not only had he kept up with her on the dance floor all night, but he very enthusiastically said he would LOVE to take her to see Mama Mia when it hit the big screen next week. It wasn't until the lights went up and she saw his preachfuzz, that she realized he "played for the other team." At that moment she knew she should not have ignored the fact that he gave her outfit "two snaps."

Etymology: Preach: Give a sermon; Advocate or support verbally in an insisting, urging, or inciting manner. Fuzz: a mass or covering of fine or curly hairs, fibres, etc.

Pronunciation: DAWG-MUH-TOE-MEEE-UH

Sentence: Mickey was very proud of her DOGMATOMIA. She had clearly spent hours shaving or tweezing her facial hair into a personal proclamation of pure pugnacity rather than submit simperingly to the recalcitrant regrowth on her upper lip area. The problem is, nobody knew what statement she was trying to make.... besides "go away".

Etymology: DOGMA+TOMIA... DOGMA- a strongly held belief not to be questioned... -TOMIA-Greek suffix meaning to cut or shave...

Pronunciation: wiss-con-sin-ners

Sentence: In one particular state, men who were convicted of a crime and sent to the state penitentiary were made to shave their heads but grow their whiskers long to show that they were convicts. They were known as the Whiscons because of their distinctive beards and attire. Once day a Franciscan friar who was quite a gifted preacher came to convert the convicts. He was so persuasive that the entire jail repented of their sins and were baptized. They all shaved their beards into the form of a cross to show that they were "Whisconsinners" and spent the rest of their sentences doing fasting, penance and good works. The men who were sentenced to life with no parole began a Priory at the jail where they specialized in making delicious cheeses, jellies and license plates. They were called the Little Brothers of the Whiscon Cross which was eventually shortened to "Whiskers." The unfortunate brothers who were on death row were called Fryers.

Etymology: whiskers: facial hair + con: person imprisoned for a crime + sinner: one who commits a sin
