Pronunciation: huhd-RaaAaah-fit

Sentence: When Bob felt in danger of being assosinated by too much samaritanism, he would always yell loudly "Hudrafit." Perplexed, the steadfast succourist would immediately ask" What's hudrafit?" To which Bob would quickly reply: "Help Unnecessary Don't Remember Asking For IT."

Etymology: Acronym: (As set out in sentence) Assosinate: Kill with kindness by misinterpreting and/or overresponding to call of "SOS." Futhermore, my lip reading skills tells me that's the word the unfortunate fellow in the cartoon is painfully uttering. Do you all agree with me?
