Pronunciation: FALL-ee-COD-uhl (follycoddler,follycoddled)

Sentence: Mad Shirley lived in an unheated garage with her two poorly behaved, recalcitrant canine-americans, Duchess and Duke. Mad Shirley FOLLYCODDLED her dogs to the point where she had no discretionary income of her own, even though she fancied herself the "alpha male" of her pack. Mad Shirley's few friends tolerated her lunacy, until she declined a much-needed kidney transplant operation so that she could pay for Botox injections for Duchess, and a new wardrobe for Duke. Surely Shirly shouldn't shirk her daily doggie duties, but a diet of Purina Pro-Plan probably promoted her early demise....although she DID have a glossy coat when they found her. WOOF!

Etymology: FOLLY+CODDLE=FOLLYCODDLE.....FOLLY:lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight regarding the treatmentof domesticated animules,criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct,an excessively costly or unprofitable undertaking,a foolish act or idea;Middle English folie, from Anglo-French, from fol fool .....CODDLE:to treat with extreme or excessive care or kindness, often to the point of ridiculosity;perhaps from caudle (1598 AD)

I guess we were thinking along the same lines, and looks like we posted at the same time too. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 05:13:00

And would the adjective/adverp of this word Guccipooch ... be Guccipoochie? Love your word's rhythm and rhyme! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:04:00

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I give up. My brain is affected by all this verboticism activity ... now I'm typing adverp for adverb. Not sure it was a fingerslip or a brainslip ... maybe I need to dental floss my brain after being too long on this website! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:06:00
