Putridish
Created by: thegoatisbad
Pronunciation: pyu-tre-dish
Sentence: Not prone to scientific queries, the closest Kimberly came to having an interest in science was wanting to know exactly how long she could wait to clean out her fridge. "Just, hypothetically, let's say I have a friend," she started "with several putridishes in her refrigerator. Will those contaminate other things in her refrigerator?" Zinnia, who had minored in botany, answered "It all depends on the cultures. I would worry about growing mycotoxins." This answer terrified Kimberly.
Etymology: Putrid (rotten, foul) + Dish (plate of food) Sounds like "Petri Dish"
