Sentence: "The holly arrives Friday. Will you help make holly wreaths Friday night? the president of the Optimist club said. "We start selling them this Saturday. They have to be ready." Handy Andy suckcomed (succombed) with a reluctant "Okay". He was very busy during the holly days. Friday night, only Handy Andy and the president of the Optimist club showed up. He was stuck making holly wreaths all night, right up to Saturday morning, when people began arriving to buy them. Looking around for help from the president, he soon discovered the president had snuck out on him, leaving him to stay all day, selling them, alone. His mind kept silently repeating "succorsucker!"

Etymology: Succor - to give aid and assistance. Sucker - as a noun: pushover, fall guy, dupe - also as a verb: conned, tricked, duped.

Pronunciation: maowl-troo-ist

Sentence: Alan had never been all that interested in the news. He couldn't tell you what area of the country was buried under a blizzard, or who Larry Craig was. It was much more relaxing to listen to music or play Xbox when he got home from his 9 to 5, instead of having to read about the latest genocide. So when the hand ran along the underside of the stall separator at the rest area just before St. Louis on I-70, he reached for the extra roll to hand to the stranger in need. Accusations, handcuffs, and a court date later, Alan the maltruist would be forced to learn how men cruise for men in prison as well, when he helped that clumsy guy in the shower with the bar of soap he had dropped.

Etymology: mal - prefix meaning bad, altruist - someone devoted to the welfare of others

The word sounds great, but when I try to read it, I find my eyes going cross. All those e's and o's start to blend and the d's and p's and g all start to look like the same letter flipped around. - ErWenn, 2008-02-07: 10:16:00

Pronunciation: ex kree myoonee kayt

Sentence: Morty knew it was going to be one of those days, when Myra would excremunicate him for trying to clean her cat Mungo's litter box. Mungo went turdally mental and attacked Morty as he carried the pan full of ripe cat poopsadaisies and tripped over a stool on the way outside. Morty could not win for losing. Myra was more concerned for the crap strewn all over her dungalow than for the fact that Morty lay in a dung heap on the kitchen floor. How could he save feces over this debacle? He felt like he had just bought a bowel on the Schlemiel Of Misfortune game of life!

Etymology: Excrement (waste matter (as urine or sweat but especially feces) discharged from the body) & Excommunicate (exclude from a community)
