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)

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

Pronunciation: dôtərkoōlər

Sentence: Denise strongly encouraged her daughter Cindy to entertain her boyfriend at home. She would give them full use of the family room while she and Jim (Dad) would keep themselves busy in the kitchen. But Mom was a terrific daughtercooler. She would NEED the punch bowl or grill set from a closet at just the right moment to put a nyet blanket on any nefarious activities. Just a cough or clearing of the throat from the other room could send chills down Cindy's spine. On more than one occasion, Cindy searched the family room looking for a hidden video cam. In the end she decided that Mom must be psychic.

Etymology: Daughter (female offspring) cooler (a device or container for keeping things cool)

Pronunciation: four-nih-cay-shun

Sentence: Pastor Ted, pad and pen in hand, began to outline his homily for the next day's assembly of ChastiKids from across the country. He planned to start out by detailing all of the benefits of fornicashun. "To say "noitus" to coitus is to respect ones body and give praise to the Lord. Avoiding the mortal sin of lust will prevent you from contracting the many rashes of Satan..." Ted was interrupted as the ink on the paper bloomed into a dark carnation as the prostitutes in his hotel room hot tub started a water fight. There would be time to work on this later, so Ted grabbed his ball-gag and riding crop and intentionally perverted the term "water polo".

Etymology: fornication + shun

Seems like they're about to see Teddy bare! Still thinking about why we choose to name a character in our sentences, "TED." ???? - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 16:58:00

You're a fantastic story writer! - purpleartichokes, 2008-02-13: 19:11:00

Pronunciation: Stall-a-moor

Sentence: Jackie had gone to a lot of effort, made dinner, set the table with candles and ensured her housemate was elsewhere for the evening. The final touches added to her hair and a spritz of perfume, then, her heart racing, she answered the doorbell.. His collogne was intoxicating and the smile enticing, a single rose in his hand. Dinner went well and the wine was flowing as fast as her pulse, his hand holding hers, when a sound startled them. A key in the front door, her flatmate home. What the hell? He withdrew and got shy, started clearing the dishes. Katie all smiles tut-tutted and loitered, her stupid flatmate playing stallamour again!

Etymology: Stall - to come to a halt, falter, or delay. Amour - hormone flushed embraces and love
