Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: trawzer brawzer

Sentence: When it came time to sort the laundry, Geek McNerdnick was hopeless. His Mom actually did it for him, but only asked that he emerge from his man-cave once a week to leave out what needed washed, which was usually both his Star-Trek t-shirts, some dainties, socks and his fearless corduroy pants. He usually had problems in doing his trouserbrowser app...he chased all over his messy lair to find them, only to find that he forgot that he had them on!

Etymology: Trouser (pants) & Browser (a program used to view HTML documents;a viewer who looks around casually without seeking anything in particular)

Yahoosiery

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: ya hooz yeree

Sentence: Steve Wotsockniak was experiencing washday again and with it, the feeling of utter yahoosiery. Again his trip to the dryer had coughed up one less sock than he had entered into the machine. Somewhere in cybersockspace, another pink argyll was floating around aimlessly, looking for it's mate. Every week, Steve lost a sock in this manner and perhaps those lost soles did it on purpose. Maybe they contacted e-Darn-on-me.com to help them find their real sole mates...socks that shared their dreams and intellectual interests. Luckily Steve was such a nerd, that no one thought it odd that he wore two different socks to work. It was ironic though that he worked at a Help Desk, but could not help himself...

Etymology: Yahoo (search engine on Internet) & Hosiery (socks and stockings and tights collectively)
