Sentence: Dear Lord, "So grant me strength that I may not fall, Into the clutches of cholesterol. May my flesh with carrot curls be sated That my soul may be polyunsaturated.

Extercise
Created by: artr

Stealthfood
Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: stellth-food
Sentence: The scale gave a small muffled electronic scream when Andy brought his full weight to bear. He was just about done with trying to shape up; two weeks of treadmill and proper diet had led to a 5-pound gain. Unfortunately, Andy had been mistaken in his meal-selecting logic, and all of the sensible meals he had recently consumed were in fact stealthfoods. The 8-oz portion of fish the night before, for example, had come from an Eastern Stoned Lardwrasse. After a lazy afternoon on the reef smoking reefer, the fish had consumed a bag of Funyuns, 3 Big Macs, 2 orders of fries, a chocolate shake, and a carton of Haagen Daazs. Leaving his friends laughing in his enormous wake, calling him names like "Marlin Brando", the lardwrasse had groggily stumbled into a waiting net, his certain doom, and another veneer of fat on Andy's barely denim-constrained buttocks.
Etymology: stealth + food; ala healthfood

COMMENTS:

Now I know why I almost bought that bag of Bloomin' Onion Crisps at the store tonight. Bastard Banky! (Sorry James!) Nice word! - purpleartichokes, 2008-03-19: 20:55:00

Elepants
Created by: wayoffcenter
Pronunciation: eləpəntz
Sentence: To say that John was large would be an understatement but he knew just where to shop for his stylish clothes. He went to a store that specialized in elepants.

----------------------------
COMMENTS:
I know that artr used elepants in his sentence but I thought it was so much fun that it needed to compete on its own. :) - wayoffcenter, 2009-01-09: 09:00:00
Thanks for entering elepants. That's the first time I had someone pick up a secondary word from one of my sentences. - artr, 2009-01-09: 18:07:00

Fatscites
Created by: lplybon
Pronunciation: "Fat-SI-tees"
Sentence: Over the past four months -- after her doctor scared the beejeesus out of her -- Sophie has religiously exercised, watched what she eats, and even goes to those (sometimes really irritating) support groups. And the result? A total loss of three stinking pounds. And to add insult to injury, Sophie notices that her fascites seems to have grown! How can that be!?!
Etymology: Combination of the word "fat" and "ascites"
Corpugeal
Created by: Jamagra
Pronunciation: n: corp'/u/jeel v: corp/u/jeel'
Sentence: Lisa could not believe that a box of Valentine chocolates could corpugeal on her butt so quickly or so thoroughly, especially since she had been running three miles a day since Fat Tuesday, 1998. Obviously she would need to be more fats-tedious about her diet.
Etymology: corpulent (fleshy, fat) + congeal (to solidify or jell)
----------------------------
COMMENTS:
Fatstedious is a word I'll use a lot. Double kudos for two first-rate creates! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-19: 10:19:00

Created by: Nosila
