Influmenza
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: in flu men zah
Sentence: The total world population, per the 2008 estimate by the United States Census International Programs Center is 6,679,493,900. As of February 2009, the world's population is estimated to be about 6.76 billion. Overcrowding and people pollutions are wreakening our planet. Terra caught a influmenza and is in a dangerous state of flux.
Etymology: INFLUENZA, MEN. Men - in the broader sense of the word, is often used to mean all people. Influenza - a widespread illness. Ergo: If the world has caught a wide spread illness from too many men, it suffers influmenza. /// Wreakening is a verbotomy of wreak and weakening. /// The last word flux, means not only a state of constant change, but archaically was a term for severe diarrhea ... something mankind needs to stop inflicting on our planet.

Created by: Mustang
Pronunciation: en-VYE-rus-mehnt

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

Morbitorbit
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: mor bit or bit
Sentence: When Glak and Fribor entered Earth's atmosphere, they knew they were going into a morbitorbit. They had been to this planet, third from the Sun, before, but eons ago. When they saw it again, it was like viewing the rusted and decaying snagrom of a kleronbeen. A yellowy haze (not yet identified on their gastronomogeiger)hung over the sphere. Then they started giggling to themselves. "Jokes on you, Earthlings! You feel guilty, but really there is a sign near the Milky Way, pointing to Earth as a sanitary refuse and toxic dump for the Universe. All us aliens picked your planet because we could hide our trash in plain sight here! Your are not alone and the trash is out there!"
Etymology: Morbid (caused by or altered by or manifesting disease or pathology;suggesting the horror of death and decay; suggesting an unhealthy state) & Orbit (the (usually elliptical) path described by one celestial body in its revolution about another)

COMMENTS:
Glak and Fribor saw the snagrom- hope they don't induce a pogrom! - metrohumanx, 2009-04-22: 01:20:00
Never thought about earth as being part of Universe-alley. Your sentence truly makes us realate to the definition in a Bigger Way! All parts of your verbotomy are so great, they are Out Of This World! - silveryaspen, 2009-04-22: 01:56:00

Flumoon

Sentence: Man has walked on the moon but he has walked on the earth for more years and has taken many more steps there. If we were to inhabit the moon, our blue moon, our paper moon, our man in the moon, our moonglow, our new moon would all become just a flumoon....we would probably manage to infect it with the same maladies with which we have infected the planet we inhabit....

Flu...ooo...moon, I saw you standing alone...without a dream in your heart...without a love of your own." Song of the Day, dedicated to Silveryaspen! - readerwriter, 2009-04-22: 10:47:00
Enjoyed your sentence, mweinmann - well crafted. - silveryaspen, 2009-04-22: 11:18:00
Silvery Moon is more fitting as a song for me, readerwriter. 'Sail along silvery moon, sail along lovers' lane, sail along silvery moon, to my love again!" There's another old verse about the moon I like "Oh, the moon shines east and the moon shines west, but I like the moonshine they make next door best!" - silveryaspen, 2009-04-22: 11:22:00

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.
