Margarinizing
Created by: Guest
Pronunciation: Margarine- I- Zing
Sentence: Dopey was feeling rather low that day. He hide his teary eyes behind his huge ears. Dopey couldn't talk very well. His good buddy knew he was margarinizing him, though. So, he said, "Dopey, your ears are pretty close to perfect, if you ask me!" Dopey really needed that ego boost.
Etymology: Butter up= to compliment. I took Margarine and used that instead.
