Greengadfly

Created by: quippingqueen

Pronunciation: green/gad/fly

Sentence: He knew he had met his match when he encountered the leaf-lorn "Greengadfly" as he pitched his woo in the curbside recycle bin.

Etymology: although the origin of the word dates back to the time when a "fly bit the cattle", today in our politically-correct environment it is more closely associated with vagarious, vanity-conscious vegans
