Sloblutions
Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: slaw-BLOO-shunz
Sentence: TrimTim had many revolting habits which had a tendency to sicken, nauseate and repel even even the most uncultured buffoons. He would perform the grossest SLOBLUTIONS in public places, spitting with abandon like a professional baseball player, even though he never had a profession to speak of. Even the homeless people gave him a wide berth lest they be caught in his radius of repugnance and have their precarious social standing reduced even further......ugh!
