Pronunciation: /SHAP-ur-own/

Sentence: Charlotte had been constantly chaperowned; when she went to the mall on Saturdays, her father insisted on staying with her; when she wanted to go to a school dance, she had to bring her older brother as an escort; and her mother picked her up from school each day and take her straight home. It's no wonder that she snuck out one night, ran away and became a porn star.

Etymology: Chaperon (also chaperone) - someone whose purpose is to ensure propriety or restrict activity (Old French for "hood, head protector"; related to 'chapeau' "hat") + Own - [in the sense of] to have complete control over (Middle English, agan "to have")

Pronunciation: sub doo fuss

Sentence: Earl thought his vigilance in keeping his daughter, Mona, locked up was a way of saving her from herself and all the evils in the world. But he was actually a subduefuss and his obsessive overprotectiveness forced her to rebel and run away. Yes, tired of the suppressive lifestyle her father led as an ex-con biker carnival worker, Mona ran off at the tender age of 29 to become a librairian and church choir member. Earl's street cred took a dive!

Etymology: subdue (hold within limits/controls) & doofus (person with poor judgment) & fuss (worry about too much)

Cheers, all...Mona's last name is Lott, by the way! Earl's is Grey....naturally he and the mother did not wed as carny life is not condusive to marital bliss! - Nosila, 2008-02-22: 23:53:00

But her mother Zell still had that same fanatical streak as Earl. - petaj, 2008-02-23: 05:36:00

Pronunciation: Muh-ther-Smuth-erd

Sentence: At home, I play a game of "Mother, May I" constantly. Due to my mom's fears, she has ruined the game, by making her answer always the same: "Mother says you may not!" Mother says I can't join the school band, for she doesn't want me playing around. Mother says I can't join science club, chess club, or a bridge club because she doesn't want me going to the clubs at night! Mother says I can't play baseball, volleyball, football, or basketball. She says "Who knows what you'll catch playing with all those balls!" It is nice to be mothered, but I need help. I've become a none in this motherhouse. You've heard of Mother Hubbard. Mine is MotherSmuthered.

Etymology: Mother and Smothered and a play on Mother Hubbard = MotherSmuthered. Mothered: loved, cared for, and protected Smothered: overly suppressed
