Sentence: Even though Johnny had pressed it, Charlie had to follow suit because the funky Flea-like riff noise the irresistibuttion made was bloomin' marvellous.

Etymology: Oooh, lemme think now, might be from "irresistible" meaning "chocolate" and "button" meaning "type of mushroom" but sources are tight-lipped.
