Stunned by the way you take one word and tweak it with a letter, or a few, and have a great verbotomy to fit the definition. Today's is Exceptional. - silveryaspen, 2008-12-05: 15:15:00

Pronunciation: as salt pee ter

Sentence: Diane's Dad had developed a chaperone for his lovely nubile college daughter.

Etymology: Assault (force (someone) to have sex against their will & Saltpeter (urban myth that sodium nitrate was used to curb male libido and therefore was introduced into the food of military and prisoners)

Pronunciation: rome/nee/no

Sentence: Juliet's father was a real romekneeno. Everytime an errant hand slid past her knee, he chopped it off.

Etymology: romeo + rome + knee + no

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Every word in your etymology is so well chosen ... with romeo and knee topping the other two. Knees can be a turn on ... but alas ... they can also be a painful turn-off ... incorporating it into your verbot makes it so powerful! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:21:00

terrific - Jabberwocky, 2008-12-05: 12:38:00

Was hoping someone would spin a sentence about 'three is a crowd' and you did it so beautifully showing it still is and always will be. Great words, too. - silveryaspen, 2008-12-05: 15:23:00
