Pronunciation: men day jus

Sentence: When Edna joined up with the Under 60's Dance Club, a few people (ok, the lights were poor in there) suspected she was well past her sell-by date. But claiming to be 49 when you are really 89 is just plain mendageous activity. After her jitterbug/merengue/polka triathelon, she had chest pains and was short of breath. When the hunky firemen showed up, they got her going again in time to catch up on the Schotticshe and Virginia Reel. How did they do it? They used the De-FIB-rillator...guaranteed to ensure they tell the truth before they meet their makers in that great Dance Hall in the Sky!

Etymology: Mendacious (intentionally untrue;given to lying) & Age (begin to seem older; get older)
