Pronunciation: high-DRALL-ick-REAP

Sentence: “I can’t stand Venice” said Florence- as she revved up her gross SUV- she resisted downsizing- as the waters kept rising- her error was failing to sea! Denial and tears came in torrents- we were singing a CO2 dirge- our years of excess- caused a wet sloppy mess- now all we can do is submerge. For years some had tried to persuade us- That the problem was oil and coal- But a global guffaw- Caused the glaciers to thaw- Now HYDRAULICREEP’s out of control.

Etymology: HYDRAULIC+CREEP=HYDRAULICREEP..........HYDRAULIC: operated, moved, or effected by means of water, of or relating to water or other liquid in motion; Latin hydraulicus, from Greek hydraulikos, from hydraulis hydraulic organ, from hydr- + aulos reed instrument [1661].....CREEP: to enter or advance gradually so as to be almost unnoticed, to change shape permanently from prolonged stress or exposure to high temperatures, to go very slowly; Middle English crepen, from Old English crēopan; akin to Old Norse krjūpa to creep [before 12th century].

Florence couldn't fathom why her beach house vanished or why the shore was miles inland, she disliked the ocean, but at least she could surfeit. - metrohumanx, 2009-03-16: 01:47:00

Pronunciation: flow - k

Sentence: It was a complete floeke that Noah had finished both the carpentry and the animal husbandry when the ice age was ended unexpectedly by the sudden impact of an armada of spaceships against the arctic ice cap. Was it an act of God, intelligent design, or a surreal blend of fact and fiction. In truth, Noah had no forewarning. He was a boatbuilder with a strange penchant for animals and a great deal of ambition. Coincidentallly about the same time he started construction, the lush who was Admiral started drinking rocket fuel "on the rocks", which resulted in him leading his flotilla of spaceships completely off course. Some twenty years later they crashed spectacularly into the Arctic Circle, en route to Betelgeuse, just as the pair of zebras clopped up the gangplank and the water lapped around the keel.

Etymology: floe (as in ice floe) + flow (as in water) + fluke (accident) + it sounds like a 4 letter exclamation
