Sponfoolie

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: spon-FOO-lee

Sentence: Bob could think of, and talk about, nothing other than money. He kneaded the "dough", chased the "buck" and laundered the filthy lucre. But by-and-by this singleminded sponfoolie finished up a kinless and kithless crock, without enough "moolah" to buy a muesli bar.

Etymology: Blending based on "spondulie" and "spondulicks". A slang term(s)possibly from Gk "spondulicks", the adjectival form of "spondulox", a type of shell used as early "money" and fool.
