Geodorous

Created by: readerwriter

Pronunciation: gee-oh-dohr-us

Sentence: The planet below had always looked so peaceful from their own planet. They had been studying it for eons. They hoped it was hollow and contained the crystals they needed for energy. If an Earthperson had been able to see them, they would have thought the bulbous protubrances on the heads of Dork and Fork were eyes, but they were not: they were nostrils. And, oh, what a stench Dork and Fork inhaled as they drew closer to Earth's atmosphere. It was negatively geodorous! They would have to turn around. What had happened since the last time they had visited in 6,000BC when there were very few Earthpeople to be seen? Dork and Fork were convinced it was the Earthpeople's heads that were really hollow. But, perhaps, the stench was only a geocentrick by Earth people? As soon as they arrived home they would have geophysickals to make sure they were fine.

Etymology: using GEODE, meaning a hollow spheroidal rock filled with crystals + ODOROUS, meaning the quality of stimulating the sense of smell

Homocreatoxic

mrskellyscl

Created by: mrskellyscl

Pronunciation: ho-mo-crea-toxic

Sentence: The guide pointed out the window and announced to the group of tourists, "This is an example of a homocreatoxic planet." Sadly, it is systematically being destroyed by the dominant species who either does not recognize or isn't concerned by the signs of impending demise. This is the only planet we've seen thus far that has come to this particular form of extinction. Anthropologists say that it once was like a garden with fields, mountains, oceans and millions of diverse creatures. This is as close as we can get to the planet without risking contagion. Now, let's move on to Saturn's exquisite rings..."

Etymology: Homo: (Latin) man/mankind + Creation: (creationism)the world as it was created by a creator + Toxic: poisonous, often by chemical means

Contagearthed

Created by: abrakadeborah

Pronunciation: con-tage-urth-d

Sentence: George and Jane Jetson were out in the aerocar for their usual Sunday planet fly around...as Rosie kept a watchful eye on Elroy and Judy back home in Mars. The Jetson's got closer to planet earth as George and Jane gasped and became "contagearthed" at the terrible shape the earth had turned into! George quickly pressed the red reverse zoom button on the aerocar to head back to Mars, in fear that the "contagearthed" particles may attach to the transparent top of the aerocar and make them all sick! Jane screamed," HURRY George, I think we just got hit by asteroid that chipped the transparent top and we might be breathing that stuff in!" The family dog Astro in the back seat looked up quickly then laid back down barking,"Ruh-roh-Ruh-roh!" George and Jane were relieved they had been forced to relocate to Mars by George's grouchy ol' boss Mr. Cosmo Spacely (owner of the company Spacely Space Sprockets) Maybe, he wasn't so mean after all...seeing the terrible mess that the earth had been turned into by the humanoids!

Etymology: Contag:Taken from first part of contagion;meaning:Disease transmission by direct or indirect contact. Earth:The land surface of the world...added ED to Earth to show also the meaning of Earthed> Earthed:To cover or heap.
