Boomshakacracka
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: boom-shack-a-crack-a
Sentence: In her heyday, the beach bunny once made the boys cry "boomshackalacka" when she sashayed by in her thong bikini. Now the saggy, baggy, aging boomer draws hoots, giggles and cries of "boomshackacracka" from the beach crowd as she shuffles by in her orthopedic thong.
Etymology: boomshackalacka -- from the bridge of Tina Turner's hit "I Want to Take You Higher," it has become an urban expression in reference to the jiggling of a woman's derriere. Tina Turner is undoubtedly one of the greatest rock divas of all time whose career soared in the 1960s and 70s with her husband Ike Turner. Born in 1939, she still records and her concerts continue to electrify people as she tears up the stage with her music, still looking amazing in short skirts and heels. + cracka -- you figure it out
Bikinitini
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: beek eenee teenee
Sentence: When Ethel tried on her very old swimsuit, her husband Ed called it her bikinitini. Oh sure it still covered the most important parts, but two of those parts were now thumping against her knees as she walked and her backside in motion looked like a camel chewing on a caramel!
Etymology: Bikini (two piece skimpy swimsuit) & Teenie (very tiny)
Decrebuttude
Created by: dochanne
Pronunciation: De-cre-butt-yood
Sentence: Warren nearly had a heart attack when his wife Mabel decided to be a sprungchicken for their summer holiday. Yes, she still fitted that old bikini but it sure was some decrebuttude on her part to wear that in public!
Etymology: Decrepitude - the effects of senescence and gravity on all things fleshy; Rebut - deny or argue against; Butt - one of the first things to be affected by decrepitude and crammed into some Cleopantstrappy (neologism: Cleopatra Queen of De Nial, pants, straps as usu items that decrepitous bodies are crammed into) thing it really shouldn't be; Attitude - showing off, denial, in-your-face, you-got-a-problem-with-that?!; also Rebutt - neologism - re-presentation or make-over of one's butt.

She thought she looked hip, young and sexy as she showed off her beach wear to her husband Tom. "Don't I look young again?" , she asked him. "You are deluded if you think you are going to sadtire yourself like that on our cruise" he retorted. "The bikini looks great, but you need to iron the wrinkles out of your birthday suit!"
