Pronunciation: /LUST-bus-ter/

Sentence: Nothing could spoil the mood like Andrea's dog, Fang. Like a true 'lustbuster' he had an uncanny ability to sense a sexual advance coming on — Todd didn't even have to make a move toward her — all he had to do was just think about putting an arm around Andrea, and the flea-bitten cur would lift his head and start snarling at him.

Etymology: lust - intense sexual desire or appetite (Old Norse, lyst "desire") + buster - a person who breaks up something (Origin: 1825–35, Americanism; bust & -er)

Haven't we seen this before for a different definition? It's so good, twice is nice! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:04:00

Doggone, Todd! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 19:36:00

I didn't recall it being used here before silveryaspen, but if it was I apologize. I was thinking of rhyming the word 'lust' and 'bust' and thought it kinda sounded like 'dustbuster'. - Tigger, 2008-02-14: 00:30:00

Apologies to Stevenson0 — he submitted 'Lustbust' for a similar definition in January. It must've been stuck in the back of my head... it was such a good word. - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 02:20:00
