Pronunciation: a/noy/sum

Sentence: After his divorce, Brian was back on the market and ready to let everyone in the office know it. Not that they had any doubt, as you could smell his Drakkar Noir from several offices away. No one was brave enough to confront Brian and his annoysome grooming habits, for fear that he would lapse back into his self-pitying wallow.

Etymology: Combination of annoy and noisome: offensively malodorous

Sentence: The culture in the U.S. is such that we've become quite sensitive to body odors, so it takes a true philistink to blissfully remain odorous in the face of wrinkled noses, backpedaling, and flat-out insults.

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)

COMMENTS:

I'm not actually sure how many people are familiar with the word "philistine," and it's just not as funny if you have to look up the definition. - ErWenn, 2007-10-02: 01:40:00

I got it straight off. Good one. - petaj, 2007-10-02: 08:29:00

great word ErWenn - it conveys the appropriate attitude as well - gets my vote - Jabberwocky, 2007-10-02: 12:48:00
