Bukowskegram

Created by: Banky

Pronunciation: byoo-cowsk-e-gramm

Sentence: Trent hoped that picture his college roommate had sent him was in fact a close-up of a sphinx cat kitten, or maybe an out-of-focus shar pei. It was wishful thinking on his behalf, though, as he had been e-bagged in a Bukowskegram.

Etymology: Bukowski - Charles Bukowski, famous alcohol loving author, e - as in electronic/email, gram - from telegram

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

In hindsight, Bukowskemail would flow a little better, but I like the old fashioned quaintness of gram along with Chuck. - Banky, 2008-01-31: 11:02:00

love the literary reference - Jabberwocky, 2008-01-31: 12:00:00

Good word! Chuck had to be in there somewhere! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-01-31: 22:24:00

Liquorspondence

thegoatisbad

Created by: thegoatisbad

Pronunciation: Lick-or-spon-dence

Sentence: Kimberly was not immune to liquorspondence. Under the influence of romantic ballads and boxed wine, Kimberly not once, but twice, e-mailed Xavier, a yarn sales rep from Vanna's Choice yarns. The e-mails started innocently enough, but as the wine bag deflated into her blood stream, Kimberly started to make provocative suggestions about knots and inappropriate inquiries as to the size of Xavier's knitting needle. In both instances, she concluded the e-mail asking if she would die alone.

Etymology: Liquor (21+) + Correspondence (exchange of words)
