Smotherlylove

Created by: splendiction

Pronunciation: SMOTH er ly love

Rob felt smotherlyloved and complained bitterly to her, but looked forward to her daily calls just the same. For gawd sakes: he was thirty-nine-eleven...so why was she still asking him things like, had he eaten any greens lately or, did he still have that watch she gave him?! (Her pancakes are still the best, though).

Etymology: From: love, smother and a play on "motherly love".
