Boomshakacracka
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: boom-shack-a-crack-a
Sentence: In her heyday, the beach bunny once made the boys cry "boomshackalacka" when she sashayed by in her thong bikini. Now the saggy, baggy, aging boomer draws hoots, giggles and cries of "boomshackacracka" from the beach crowd as she shuffles by in her orthopedic thong.
Etymology: boomshackalacka -- from the bridge of Tina Turner's hit "I Want to Take You Higher," it has become an urban expression in reference to the jiggling of a woman's derriere. Tina Turner is undoubtedly one of the greatest rock divas of all time whose career soared in the 1960s and 70s with her husband Ike Turner. Born in 1939, she still records and her concerts continue to electrify people as she tears up the stage with her music, still looking amazing in short skirts and heels. + cracka -- you figure it out
Thwrong
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: thrawng
Sentence: At the family beach vacation Grandma thought it was great that she could still fit into her string bikini. Others thought it was just thwrong. To make matters worse Grandpa decided to match her faux pas by strutting around in a banana-hammock Speedow. The cost of the vacation may well be eclipsed by the eventual cost of therapy for the grandchildren.
Etymology: thong (a brief garment for the lower body that exposes the buttocks) + wrong (not correct in action, judgment, opinion, method, etc.)

Indistreet
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: indistrēt
Sentence: The workers in the assisted-living facility were stunned at how indistreet their charges could be. Someone had apparently left a catalog of streetwear where the elders could get hold of it. Suddenly the community was flooded with grannies in spandex and chucks, grandpas with boxers hiked up to their armpits and shorts well below their hips. Before long things returned to normal when the seniors discovered that thongs are not comfortable for anybody and that it is hard to do business with local merchants while they are laughing uncontrollably.
Etymology: indiscreet (having, showing, or proceeding from too great a readiness to reveal things that should remain secret or private) + street (Street wear is a distinctive style of fashion not to be confused with hip hop fashion. Its roots are in skateboarding and the "skatewear" of the 1980s)
Prunetta
Created by: Mustang
Pronunciation: proon-ETT-eh
Sentence: Jeanetta was well past mid life but convinced she still looked good in revealing clothes, and the poor thing had no idea that friends referred to her as Prunetta because of all the sags, wrinkles and cellulite that gave her a prune like appearance.
Etymology: Blend of 'prune' (dried plum) and a feminine name ending in 'etta'.
Decrebuttude
Created by: dochanne
Pronunciation: De-cre-butt-yood
Sentence: Warren nearly had a heart attack when his wife Mabel decided to be a sprungchicken for their summer holiday. Yes, she still fitted that old bikini but it sure was some decrebuttude on her part to wear that in public!
Etymology: Decrepitude - the effects of senescence and gravity on all things fleshy; Rebut - deny or argue against; Butt - one of the first things to be affected by decrepitude and crammed into some Cleopantstrappy (neologism: Cleopatra Queen of De Nial, pants, straps as usu items that decrepitous bodies are crammed into) thing it really shouldn't be; Attitude - showing off, denial, in-your-face, you-got-a-problem-with-that?!; also Rebutt - neologism - re-presentation or make-over of one's butt.
