Created by: stache
Pronunciation: rē'kə-pĭch'ə-lĭnt'

Etymology: 'recap,' to summarize or go over; 'itu,' Bantu translation of 'It's You,' from the song from 'Music Man' ( It's you in the sunrise, it's you in my cup. It's you all the way into town. It's your sweet "Hello, dear" that sets me up And it's your "Got to go, dear" that gets me down, etc.); 'lint,' miscellaneous microscopic mercurial matter.

COMMENTS:
BTW, "It's You" is quite moving in the Bantu performance of "Music "Man." - stache, 2008-04-04: 07:08:00
another great etymology - Jabberwocky, 2008-04-04: 08:49:00

Electrolax
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: ee lek tro lax
Sentence: When Jane Edgar Hoover tried to clean the cat hair from her rugs, she found her vacuum cleaner became an Electrolax. That nice door-to-door salesman had showed her the tufts of cat hair he had collected with the machine he sold her. She just failed to notice by now that the ones he emptied from the demo machine were a black color...unlike her Ginger Tom, Marmalade's, natural fur colour.
Etymology: Electrolux (The Electrolux Group is a Swedish appliance maker, including vacuum cleaners) & Lax (tolerant or lenient)
Suctioenable
Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: Suck-shi-en-ay-bull
Sentence: The process of suctioenabling the vacuum as it missed toenail, after finger, after earlobe was not the most efficient method for Roger to dispose of his ex-wife's body, but it certainly was entertaining. He picked up several teeth and dropped them in front of the upright, grinning Cheshire as they rattled into the dust trap.
Etymology: suction + enable

Do you write horror films in your spare time? Great sentence but a little creepy. - Jabberwocky, 2008-04-04: 08:43:00
Haha, no I don't write much other than these verbotomy nanostories. I've been hitting the blood and guts a bit heavy as of late, haven't I? - Banky, 2008-04-04: 10:05:00
that's okay - your writing is great no matter the genre - Jabberwocky, 2008-04-04: 12:14:00
Yeah, Banky's mini-stories are good stuff. The sick, twisted and gory kind of good... - Tigger, 2008-04-04: 16:21:00

Lintzilla

Relintroduce
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /ree-LIN-truh-doos/
Sentence: Wanda had run the vacuum cleaner back and forth over the same bit of blue fluff five times now, and she was beginning to get annoyed — both at the lint, for clinging so stubbornly, and at the vacuum, which kept failing to pick it up. For the third time, she bent down and plucked the lint from the carpet. Feeling a little sarcastic this time though, she showed the lint to the vacuum and relintroduced them, saying "Vacuum, meet lint; lint, meet vacuum." As she placed the lint in front of the vacuum, Wanda told it, "Mr. Vaccum's going to take you someplace where lots of other bits of fluff and lint hang out. You go with him, okay?" and tried it once more.
Etymology: Blend of: Reintroduce - to acquaint with, or bring into notice again (from Latin, re- "again" & intrōdūcere "to lead inside") + Lint - clinging bits of fiber and fluff; fuzz (from Middle French, linette "grain of flax")

Superfluffluent
Created by: arrrteest
Pronunciation: soo-per-fluff-floo-ent
Sentence: Desmond liked clean floors. He was constantly sweeping and vacuuming his apartment to an obsession. You would be hard pressed to find any dust bunnies under any furniture or his bed. That is, until his girlfriend recently moved in with her long-haired torti, Fluffhead. Now Fluffhead is a sociable cat who likes to rub up against you or jump up and nestle in your lap, leaving patches of fur that drives Desmond bonkers. Fluffy left a trail of her superfluffluent everywhere, which seemed not to be affected by the vacuum cleaner. Any guesses as to how long this relationship will last?
Etymology: super, from superfluous + fluff + effluent, as in waste

Created by: artr
Pronunciation: duhst-kuhs-er
Sentence: Denise is an animal lover but she has absolutely no sympathy for dust bunnies. She likes nothing better than the whoomp sound of a clump of lint going up the hose of her vacuum.

Etymology: dustbuster (a handheld cordless vacuum cleaner) + cusser (someone who swears; curses)
Unrelinting
