Pronunciation: Epee-lip-id-sed-ih-ment

Sentence: Jason's penchant for pounding beers and caffeinated drinks throughout the day belied his half attempted efforts to lose weight. Unfortunately for him, his rationalizations of his EZ-Chair Ab Workout and 12 ounce arm curls were not enough to overcome the epilipidsediment from settling around his belly.

Etymology: Epi (put on) + lipid (fat) + sediment (a play on sedentary, to stay in one place/ mendacious, to lie)

Pronunciation: thin bawl

Sentence: Tommy could not understand why his waist line was not shrinking. To offset the odd Big Mac (3 a day, which offered him something from most every food group)he incorporated rigorous exercise into his daily routine, like: he jumped to conclusions;his nose ran;he flew off the handle;he skated on thin ice at work;he wrestled with his conscience; he broad-jumped at bars;he did the breast stroke whenever he could and he curled his hair. Yes, Tommy was indeed a thinbawl wizard there has to be a twist,A thinball wizard's got such a supple waist!

Etymology: thin (slender) & bawl (to cry, because you're not thin)
