Simply rhymes are great any times! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 12:58:00

Would be better if Assault Peter were trained to chase rabbits in the Cranky-hutch! Nice word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 16:55:00

I love the 'American Idol' theme of your sentence — very apropos. - Tigger, 2008-02-14: 00:44:00

There's some lady out here selling subscriptions, so you should talk to her!" or "Raaandeee! Dad said yesterday that it's your turn to do the weeding, and it had better be done before he gets home!"

Pronunciation: Not-so-soup-er-vis-or

Sentence: Kimberly's niece Pamela thought that a weekend with her Aunt meant she could get away from the oppressive oversight of her parents. Pamela told her friends: "No, you guys should totally come over. She's clueless and she lives by the train tracks." But her dreams were deflated soon after arriving at her Aunt's house. "Oh, I just had a security system installed, so don't touch any of the windows or look at the plants too long." Kimberly said. "Oh, and I have a fun night of kitten puzzles planned!" Pamela quickly realized her Aunt was a notsosupervisor.

Pronunciation: /LUST-bus-ter/

Sentence: Nothing could spoil the mood like Andrea's dog, Fang. Like a true 'lustbuster' he had an uncanny ability to sense a sexual advance coming on — Todd didn't even have to make a move toward her — all he had to do was just think about putting an arm around Andrea, and the flea-bitten cur would lift his head and start snarling at him.

Etymology: lust - intense sexual desire or appetite (Old Norse, lyst "desire") + buster - a person who breaks up something (Origin: 1825–35, Americanism; bust & -er)

lol! Excellent choice of words Tigger. :) - Dougalistic, 2008-02-13: 04:40:00

Simple but effective. - ErWenn, 2008-02-13: 10:13:00

Haven't we seen this before for a different definition? It's so good, twice is nice! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:04:00

Nice word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 17:06:00

Doggone, Todd! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 19:36:00

I didn't recall it being used here before silveryaspen, but if it was I apologize. I was thinking of rhyming the word 'lust' and 'bust' and thought it kinda sounded like 'dustbuster'. - Tigger, 2008-02-14: 00:30:00

Apologies to Stevenson0 — he submitted 'Lustbust' for a similar definition in January. It must've been stuck in the back of my head... it was such a good word. - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 02:20:00
