Pronunciation: /ˈfɪləˌstɪŋk/

Etymology: From philistine (a person who is lacking in or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc.) + stink (a strong, offensive smell)

Pronunciation: smug-smog

Sentence: It was 5:29PM and close to clocking out time as Milly reached into her desk draw and grabbed the plastic carrier bag from inside, flapping it into the air. The bag ballooned open as she rushed to place it over her head, wrapping it tightly around her neck. Bang on 5:30PM, like clockwork, Lenny raised his arms to the back of his head, lent back into his chair and took a big sniff of his shirt armpit. Milly could hear him taking in the air but despite the plastic protection the smugsmog very nearly knocked Jenny out cold. "Ah", he said, "You couldn't buy that in a bottle, eh?"

Etymology: Smug - too pleased or satisfied about something you have achieved or something you know. Smog - air pollution
