Pronunciation: matt-trih-mohn-o-log

Sentence: When Jenna's husband would begin a droning matrimonologue about the good old days in the frat house in college, she would escape through the back door in her mind. Today she found herself in the middle of the Caribbean aboard a pirate ship, with Captain Fabio, who proceeded to use his "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray" in the most debaucherous of manners. Oddly enough, her husband was having a very similar fantasy, but with substantially more Greek-letter-inscribed paddling.

COMMENTS:

Great word Nosila! I was a little surprized to have made an appearance in your sentence though... Hmm, do I know anyone named 'Rosie'? - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 00:44:00

Cheers, Tigger...did not realize until after I posted it there were two of you...my friend's cat looks just like that one in cartoon and that's his name. - Nosila, 2008-02-12: 00:51:00

Great word Nosila! I was a little surprized to have made an appearance in your sentence though... Hmm, do I know anyone named 'Rosie'? - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:23:00

Oh, I see now. Rosie must be that lady that feeds me and prattles on and on about her own life. I usually just call her 'Dear' (as in "Yes, Dear"). - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:28:00

(Now how did that 1st comment post again? Oops.) - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:30:00
