Verboticisms

Created by: Tigger

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

Nice word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 17:06:00

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

Pronunciation: Stall-a-moor

Sentence: Jackie had gone to a lot of effort, made dinner, set the table with candles and ensured her housemate was elsewhere for the evening. The final touches added to her hair and a spritz of perfume, then, her heart racing, she answered the doorbell.. His collogne was intoxicating and the smile enticing, a single rose in his hand. Dinner went well and the wine was flowing as fast as her pulse, his hand holding hers, when a sound startled them. A key in the front door, her flatmate home. What the hell? He withdrew and got shy, started clearing the dishes. Katie all smiles tut-tutted and loitered, her stupid flatmate playing stallamour again!

Etymology: Stall - to come to a halt, falter, or delay. Amour - hormone flushed embraces and love

Pronunciation: Not-so-soup-er-vis-or

Sentence: Kimberly's niece Pamela thought that a weekend with her Aunt meant she could get away from the oppressive oversight of her parents. Pamela told her friends: "No, you guys should totally come over. She's clueless and she lives by the train tracks." But her dreams were deflated soon after arriving at her Aunt's house. "Oh, I just had a security system installed, so don't touch any of the windows or look at the plants too long." Kimberly said. "Oh, and I have a fun night of kitten puzzles planned!" Pamela quickly realized her Aunt was a notsosupervisor.

Pronunciation: /ˈmeɪdṇˌfɛns/
