Animunciate

kashman

Created by: kashman

Pronunciation: anee-mun-sea-ate

Sentence: Lauren has always been an animal lover. Her parents supported her animunciation hoping that it's just a phase in her growing up life. But when they were told by Lauren's teachers that she animunciates with the rats and frogs in her school's biology lab, they knew something was wrong. Later on when she went to college and one Thanksgiving week they received a call from her that she is bringing "someone" with her, it got them all excited. Finally, the Thanksgiving day arrived and the door bell rang; Lauren's parents opened the door beamingly to find her animunciating with a dog!

Etymology: Animal + Enunciate (to speak clearly)

Verbetrate

Created by: dochanne

Pronunciation: Ver-beh-trait

Sentence: As a self-absorbed bipedal anthropoid vertebrate Jenny found herself often unable to communicate effectively with others of her kind, largely due to her grandiose verbosity, vective and vacillation. She was thus a verbetrate and spent most of her time quakkety-yakking (but ducks were not such good listeners), gibbon-gabbing, and slither-blathering.

Etymology: Verb: doing word, such as 'speaking'; Vertebrate: animals with backbones, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, but not politicians. This group is obviously so big that the few members who are actually human are neglible. I note this word is often misspelled as 'verbetrate' by an interposition of the "b" and the "t", hence found as such in google. Betray: turn to the 'other' side, ie. talk to the animals rather than humans.. Also Verberage and of course Verbotomy.

Confaunabulation

Created by: stache

Pronunciation: kôn-fôn-āb'yə-lā'shən

Sentence: Most often, the conversations between Cindy and her overweight but handsome cat, Nigel, were rather one-sided. In the mornings, he screamed to be let into the bedroom or out, or she screamed at him to SHUT UUUUUPPPPP!!!! However, in their most private moments, when the kids had been put to bed, and after John was long gone to slumberland, their confaunabulations were deep, personal and rewarding to them both.

Etymology: con, Australian adaptation, "one sentenced to penitence;" faun, derived from fawn, Middle English faunen, from Old English fagnian, to rejoice, from fagen, fægen, glad, to exhibit affection or attempt to please; ab, shortened form of abdomen, Latin abdōmen, belly, the part of the body of a mammal between the thorax and the pelvis; ulation, shortened form of ululation, from pp. stem of ululare "ululate," a reduplicated imitative base (cf. Gk. ololyzein "to cry aloud," Skt. ululih "a howling," Lith. uluti "howl," Gael. uileliugh "wail of lamentation," O.E. ule "owl"), a howling or wailing.
