Spitzerlambed
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: spitz er lamd
Sentence: When "Kirstin" went on duty, she was used to gentlemen callers who took advantage of her neutrality. She ended up being spitzerlambed by her latest client #9, whose attitude, if she were franc, would make her senses Berne. She called him Basle, and he said he had a Matterhorn...you know, one that really mattered. But actually his penchant for laundering cash, made her suspect that he was a banker or at least a big time crook or a state politican. She was attracted to his power, but was afraid that their liaison would give her a ZurItch. She wanted to tell him to Lucerne-up and enjoy himself, but he kept looking for the Red Cross phone number. She was so in love, she thought she was imprisoned by his attention and therefore subject to the rules of the Geneva Convention. Too late she realized that her love life and professional life would become as tasty for the media as a big piece of Swiss Cheese!
Etymology: Eliot Spitzer (former NY Governor, disgraced by his sexual "reforms") & Lamb (person easily deceived or cheated)& Switzerland (European Country known for it's big bank deposits and neutrality)& lambaste, to censure severely or angrily.
