Pronunciation: speak at 1

Sentence: Chaterine woke with words flowing out of her mouth. The rivers of words ran all day. Only the need for sleep, stemmed the flow to distant snores. Mummed by it all, hushband Rod Earick, descendant of the great House of the Hushered, suffered silently from the speakatone.

Etymology: Speak, with a play on "speak at once" by making it speak at one. Roderick was a character in the novel the House of Usher.

Pronunciation: wind funnel

Sentence: Macey was a highly strung lass. Scarely a day went by when she wasn't on the blower to one friend or another detailing every last nuance of her existence. Incessantly her tongue would flap away, like an errant handkerchief in a stiff breeze. Her friends tried to be supportive, but eventually all they could feel was the continual blast of hot air emanating from Macey's wind pipe. Inevitably they tired of being on the narrow end of her windfunnel and changed numbers, address, and in one extreme case, country. Only Macey's cat Briggs will listen to her now, and only then in exchange for food and iTunes gift cards.

Etymology: "Wind": exasperatingly excessive verbiage. "Funnel": device designed to channel substance without spillage in one direction. "Blower": Slang for telephone.

When asked how he did it, Briggs replied: "iTune'd out" - emdeejay, 2008-12-04: 05:03:00

perfect! - Jabberwocky, 2008-12-04: 09:17:00

Excellent. Wind for the talker, and funnel for the one who takes it all in. Is the song of the day "You are the wind beneath my wings?" - silveryaspen, 2008-12-04: 11:58:00

Techno-mechanically sublime word! - metrohumanx, 2008-12-04: 16:29:00

fantastic - OZZIEBOB, 2008-12-05: 03:02:00

Pronunciation: BLEET-sink

Sentence: Generica was a delightful lassie who was driven to expound at length in clipped sentences on the excruciating details of her alpine life. Her wooly logic did not penetrate, but only grazed the skulls of those who inexplicably flocked to bask in her aura. Shorn of all restraint, her radiant soul and genuine sincerity was so endearing that you cud only hope to drive in a word wedge when she stopped ruminating to catch her breath. Most people just became BLEATSINKS for Generica's rambling monologues, sheepishly absorbing the airy earnestness of whatever it was she was talking about. I became a BLEATSINK myself, held fast by her steady gaze while the evening passed with the speed of a glacier. I might have stomped out had I been younger, but it's difficult to resist such charms- especially when you're pasture prime.

Etymology: BLEAT+SINK=BLEATSINK-A takeoff on heatsink (a device that absorbs or dissipates unwanted heat ) BLEAT:to make the natural cry of a sheep or goat, to utter a similar sound,to talk complainingly or with a whine,to utter in a bleating manner, blather; Middle English bleten, from Old English blǣtan;akin to Latin flēre to weep........SINK:penetrate,absorb, to become opressively known or felt; Middle English, from Old English sincan; akin to Old High German sinkan to sink.

COMMENTS:

Word has it that Generica actually talked her cat, Long Heaps, into a coma. - metrohumanx, 2008-12-04: 01:23:00

Oh, metro...you'll never be pasture prime...you're too rambitious! - Nosila, 2008-12-04: 21:20:00

Pronunciation: /kum-PLEYN-yuhn-ship/

Sentence: Tina was convinced that Eric was one of the few people who really listened to her, was interested in everything she had to say, and valued their platonic relationship as much as he valued her opinions. Eric deperately wanted to go out with Tina, and although she was 'out of his league,' he maintained hope that their "complainionship" would eventually progress into something more.

Etymology: complain - express dissatisfaction (from Vulgar Latin, complangere "lament") + companionship - person who accompanies or associates with another (from Old French, compaignon "fellow, mate") [& relationship]
