Sentence: Tressa had touched up her roots and trimmed her bangs the night before. She showered and shampooed her hair three times that morning. She then blew dry her hair with a rolling brush, styled her hair with mousse and curled it with her curling iron. After spending three hours doing her hair, she declared a state of prephairedness and she rushed out of the house to get to her 10:00 am hair appointment. When her stylist saw the roots and her bangs, she asked who had done this to her hair. She replied, "Why, you did!" Little did she know that hair stylists have forensic skills and after intense questioning, our client broke down and admitted her desperation. Her stylist said, "Why Tressa of the Ubervilles, all you had to do was make your appointment a few days sooner!"

Pronunciation: wyfe swab bing

Sentence: Marla was racing around cleaning every nook and cranny in her large home. She had been at it for 2 days and had swept, vaccuumed, dusted, scrubbed, washed and sanitized every surface in her home, until it sparkled. Her husband Jerry came home and was bemused to find her toiling away so hard. "Isn't the new cleaner coming this afternoon?" he asked puzzedly. "Yes, and I have to rush to finish all this before she gets here". "Why is our home getting such a thorough wifeswabbing when a cleaner is on her way? Isn't that redundant?" he asked innocently. "You don't understand...she was recommended by Simone Smith from the Country Club and I cannot have her finding us the way we really live and tattling back to the ladies at the Club about what slobs we are. It is a matter of home pride! Besides, at $200 an hour it would cost us about a grand every week to have her do the real work!" Jerry thought this over and then asked, "What can I do to help before she gets here?"

Etymology: Wife (female spouse) & Swabbing (cleaning/scrubbing with a mop) & play onm Wife Swapping (what swingers do...trading spouses for a night, wink wink, nod, nod)
