Pronunciation: SALES rep tile
Sentence: The slimy salesreptile stalked me like a crocodile who has realized that a delicious juicy fawn is drinking at the edge of the water. I felt him coming before I actually saw him. Then, like the crocodile, only his eyes appeared over the clothes racks. Like the fawn, I skittered away as he approached, pretending to take an important call which I could only hear by leaving the store.
