Tawdrimat

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: Taw-DREE-mat

Sentence: It was pure pentathol when the best man, grinning like a cheshire cat, told the wedding guests that he knew the bride when she was Brian - not Brianna. And don't think that his tawdrimat ended there, as he continued to "wash the dirty linen" in public of the whole bridal party, including that of the "polygamous" priest who had married them, yelling: "How many women has he married?"

Etymology: TAWDRY: shameful, indecent, base, low, trashy, meretricious; tawdry secret, tawdry motives. LAUNDROMAT: A place where one can wash their "dirty linen" in public. PENTATHOL (sodium pentathol):truth serum

The best man had a veritable laundry list of scores to settle.
