Pronunciation: /fungk-on-shuss/

Sentence: Carlos thought of himself as the office 'Romeo,' stopping to try to speak to all the young ladies who worked there.

Pronunciation: bore-pong-er

Sentence: In her daily visits to the gym, Feclicia found nothing harder than to be polite in the presence of a boreponger. These ones, so dull in their enthusiasm for themselves and all they were doing to improve their lives...these ones who left such a foul stench in the midst of their comings and goings, left her no recourse, but to turn up the treadmill and walk faster. On the upside, she was reaching her weight loss goals ahead of time.

Etymology: from bore, an uninspiring person + pong, a stench Rhymes with "whoremonger" so it has that tone of low-life, twisted values, etc

Pronunciation: /ˈfɪləˌstɪŋk/

Pronunciation: bee o b livee us

Sentence: Marco Territorio always worked out at lunch time and came back, on time, daily without having had a shower. He was beeoblivious (B.O.-blivious more like) to the pong he left for his co-workers. They had many names for him: The Aroma from Roma;Smell Gibson;Pong de Leon;Rudy Stench;Acridability Gap;Malodour in the Middle; Scratch & Sniff;and Ghengis Garbage Khan. He could reek havoc on afternoon meetings and caused scentsations among the Ranks. Instinked made people avoid him and the Olfactory was elated when he took vacation. So it was whiff pungent irony that he was snuffed out by the Cosa Nose-tra. I smell a rat...

Etymology: BO (Body Odor; uncleaned, not sanitary or healthful area;not cleaned nor kept up) & oblivious (totally unaware of what happens and unmindful of others)
