Pronunciation: Pet owned

Sentence: Jack and Jill always gaped in astonishment with a ready phrase of derision lodged in their throats every time Miss Amelia Ampersand passed their house with her baby stroller, in which a poodle lolled with the highest class. It was decked out with the finest accessories known to caninekind (and humankind as well, in some aspects) in a garish display of petownership. "Geez," said Jack, shaking his head in disbelief. "Talk about being petowned." "Imagine extraterrestrials," cried Jill with intensity, "coming along and seeing this pethetic display...what will they think?!" "That humans are the enslaved wards of these four-legged superiors, bridled into succumbing to each and every demand, including the insidious latrine duty?" "Yes!"

Etymology: Pet (animal often treated with affection by their owners) & owned (to possess something)

Pronunciation: pet own ya

Sentence: Petula's new poodle puppy was called Petunia. She was a purebred pooch and a pretentious poseur. Petula attended her every need and was worse than a Stage Mother when managing Petunia's daily life. However, Petula was suffering from a new malaise called petownia...where your every living moment is devoted to the feeding, comfort and care of an animal pet. When Petula's friend, Peter saw her pushing Petunia's perambulator, he paused and posed the probing question, "Why are you pushing her in a stroller?" When Petula's implausible retort came, Peter had one main thought. "Who would an alien assume was the leader on our planet? The pooch, or the person picking up her poo?" Unless he was from anywhere but Pluto...he could only assume it was the pets who were in charge!

Etymology: Pet (a domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement) & Own (have ownership or possession of) & Ya (you) & Wordplay on Petunia (flower with numerous fluted petals; smells sweet and very hardy)

"Moggie" is a common term for a cat in Australia - Is its use widespread - or even known - in other parts of the English speaking world? - OZZIEBOB, 2007-12-11: 06:48:00

"Moggie" seems to be used more by predominantly British-influenced populations. I've never heard it used here (Eastern U.S.) but I'm not really a 'cat person' either. Interesting blend, BTW. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 14:37:00

I love the way it sounds - Jabberwocky, 2007-12-11: 14:45:00

In Encarta's dictionarie there is no moggie ... only a moggy and here's the definition they gave: mog·gy [ móggee ] (plural mog·gies) noun Definition: U.K. ( informal ) Same as cat (sense 2) [Late 17th century. Variant of aggie - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 15:58:00

Not a black and white cat, Mr. Tuxedo is a pampered pooch with a taste for haute couture. Zinnia recalls: "Well, his name is a bit of a misnomer. He stopped wearing tuxedos after his third birthday and Balenciaga had that amazing collection inspired by bug exoskeletons." Kimberly complained to Loretta "she's turned one of God's most beautiful domesticated animals into a FancyBeast."

Etymology: Fancy (fantastic quality or taste) + Beast (animal) Play on cat food brand "Fancy Feast"
