Pronunciation: /ˈfɪləˌstɪŋk/

Sentence: The culture in the U.S. is such that we've become quite sensitive to body odors, so it takes a true philistink to blissfully remain odorous in the face of wrinkled noses, backpedaling, and flat-out insults.

Etymology: From philistine (a person who is lacking in or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc.) + stink (a strong, offensive smell)

COMMENTS:

I'm not actually sure how many people are familiar with the word "philistine," and it's just not as funny if you have to look up the definition. - ErWenn, 2007-10-02: 01:40:00

I got it straight off. Good one. - petaj, 2007-10-02: 08:29:00

Pronunciation: ignərsent

Sentence: Harold tries to act all ignorscent about his poor hygiene. He has yet to use up the bar of soap he unwrapped last May. At this rate his toothbrush should remain pristine well into the next decade. Secretly, he is just as happy when people recoil in his presence. It means he doesn*t have to deal with them or all those pesky human emotions. He just slinks off to work on his computers. His computers don*t mind his stench at all.

Etymology: ignorant (lacking knowledge or awareness in general) + ignore (refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally) + scent (a distinctive smell)

Pronunciation: poop/yoo/lare/ity

Sentence: Norman thought it was a good thing when the boss told him he could join the crew on their rooftop lunch area. It had a great view, fresh air, and all the hot ladies seemed to be up there about noon. He had no idea it had nothing to do with his personality, but instead, everything to do with his poopularity. Everyone was convinced he not only ran in the park across the street daily, but that he also rolled around on the grass like dogs do when they find a scent they want to wear.

Etymology: poop (P.U.) popularity
