Pronunciation: kol or poo pool

Sentence: When Lavender asked her Daddy to buy her a computer, he was mauved to colorpoohpoohle her request. He entered a Purple Haze and told her a plum crazy story of how he had to lilac a sidewalk when he was young, just to get his Daddy to give him a magenta crayon to finish his homework. His Daddy thought just heliotropes used that color and it spurred him to almost violet behaviour towards his son. Luckily his mother had grape expectations of her only son and his father's amethyst-icuffs did not scare her or his son. Poor Lavender, she had long ago drifted into a deep purple haze when listening to this periwinkle of a tale, because she was mauved to boredom.

Etymology: Color (an outward or token appearance or form that is deliberately misleading)& Pooh-Pooh (express contempt about;reject with contempt) & Play on Color Purple (Alice Walker Book and 1985 Steven Spielberg film)

you lead a very colourful life purple - I always get a chuckle out of your sentences - Jabberwocky, 2007-04-18: 13:33:00

Oh dear. There goes the last vestige of normalcy I was clinging on to. By the way, don't bother searching Ebay for cow manure to feed your purple artichokes - apparently, cows don't poop anymore because there are no listings. - purpleartichokes, 2007-04-18: 15:10:00

Pronunciation: non fol lee yer

Sentence: Colin was a nonfollyer and he wanted to ensure than his daughter, Colina, became a nonfollyer,too. Although he encouraged independence in her, the truth was they were so much alike, it was scary. She had his hair, skin and eye colours;matching outfits; liked the same foods and tv shows and of course the name thingy. If Norman Bates were a girl and Mrs., Bates was her Dad, that would describe Colin & Colina. He tried his best to teach her his values and for her to learn from his own poor examples, but Colina was going to be her own woman, no matter how much influence he thought he had over her. She decided long ago that her first order of business would be to move away from her Dad and leave their home, the Bates Motel...just in case a male Janet Lee ever came to stay with them...that would require Psycho-analysis for sure!

Etymology: non (not,not at all or in no way) & folly (foolish or senseless behavior;the trait of acting stupidly or rashly the quality of being rash and foolish;a stupid mistake) & follower (someone who travels behind or pursues another; one who imitates others)
