Petagogue

karenanne

Created by: karenanne

Pronunciation: PET ah gog

Sentence: The reason Ann Noy talks with animals is that no people WANT to talk with her. She is a petagogue, spewing her dog-ma all the time. She talks until she's horse. People are too cowed by her obviously superior intelligence to ox her what she's talking about, and it's too difficult to ferret out the meaning. Everyone ducks when they see her coming, and they just want to bat her away. So she long ago gave up trying to figure out why people were so catty about her, and retreated, tortoiselike, to her cocoon to live out her days as an animal whisperer.

Etymology: pet + pedagogue (a person who teaches, instructs, or talks in a manner that is excessively dogmatic, shows off his or her learnedness or overemphasizes minor details)

Verteprate

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: virt ta prayt

Sentence: Helen could communicate with all animals. Her ability to verteprate came at an early age and served her well to interrogate the pets of crime victims, perepetrators and witnesses, as a special service to the police. It was amazing what we do and say in front of our pets because we think they won't talk. But Helen could get pets to verify alibis, deny stories and defeat many a criminal in his illegal ways. Pets told no lies nor harboured any ulterior motives for their statements. Helen only wished her gift worked on her 13 year old son, but alas that is not the way life goes!

Etymology: Vertebrate (animal having a having a bony or cartilaginous skeleton with a segmented spinal column and a large brain enclosed in a skull or cranium) & Prate ( idle or foolish and irrelevant talk; speak (about unimportant matters) rapidly and incessantly)
