Wounddog

Created by: silveryaspen

Pronunciation: wow und dawg

Sentence: Elvis took his hound for a walk. But the hound didn't like being held back by his leash, so he raced in circles around Elvis, coiling, looping, twisting, spiraling, and curling the leash around Elvis' legs and ankles, even his blue suede shoes. Elvis sang out in misery as he tripped and tumbled down: "You aint nothin but a wounddog, Now I'm cryin all the time. Making me nothin but a bound ground hog, Cryin all the time. Well, you aint never caught a rabbit And you aint no friend of mine."

Etymology: Wound Dog is a play on Hound Dog. There is a way to correct the spelling of the word! After clicking on edit beneath save and go back is "oops! I want to change the spelling of my word" and with a click on that ... voila!

Yes mweinmann, I agree. Glad it was unintentional. Even when this happens deliberately, I just consider it a form of compliment/flattery. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-03: 09:08:00

Good....I felt bad when I realized this had happened.... - mweinmann, 2009-02-03: 09:50:00

Dogtied

artr

Created by: artr

Pronunciation: dôgtīd

Sentence: It seemed like a good idea at the time. One dog would be lonely if left home alone while he worked so Alan got a second dog. Little did he expect to be dogtied every time he tried to walk them. They would run ahead, then behind, never in the same direction, never at the same time. Like some canine square dance he didn't know the steps to, Sadie and Rufus do-si-do and Allemande left until Alan was completely hound-bound.

Etymology: dog (canine pet) + tied (attach or fasten (someone or something) with string or similar cord) derivative of hog-tied [secure by fastening together the hands and feet (of a person) or all four feet (of an animal)]
