Pronunciation: djoo ven churz

Sentence: Edna went on one of her juventures every evening before bed. She applied the ridicuously expensive beauty cream purported to take years off her face, in en ffort to look young again. Some mornings she thought she had really poncedeleoned herself, but once she put her glasses on, the lines in her face reappeared. The only part of youth she seemed to rediscover was the fact that her face also broke out.
