After all your liquor-name inspired creations, it was very hard to resist the temptation of choosing highballEng! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-31: 12:19:00

Outstanding. I also like the subtext of the "derring" in there, as it is a heroicly daring prospect to email the company while soused. - Banky, 2008-01-31: 11:04:00

Gincommunicado

Created by: rombus

Pronunciation: jin - com - meoon - ick - cod - oh

Sentence: Sheila had issues again today. Now on her seventh gin and tonic, she made the mistake of emailing everyone she was angry at or felt had in some way slighted her during the past ten years. She was totally gincommunicado for several hours until she fell asleep at her keyboard. Everytime this happened she would awaken and see the evidence of her rampage as her inbox filled with confused and angry emails, mostly from people she hadn't seen in years. Thankfully, the number of people who answered her was dwindling....but she really bemoaned the fact that she had few friends left.

Etymology: Gin (a type of strong liquor flavored with juniper berries) plus incommunicado which means a state or condition in which one is unable or unwilling to communicate.

Grogblog

karenanne

Created by: karenanne

Pronunciation: GROG blog

Sentence: Sherry enjoyed amusing herself each morning by reading posts she had written the night before, when she was, as it usually happened, heavily under the influence of various spirits. She even started her own social networking site for people like herself - it was called ShitFaceBook. Anyone who was registered could add an entry, which were known as GrogBlogs and were typically rambling and more or less incoherent. At least this was all very funny until the morning she read the new segment she, or someone, had apparently added to her profile the night before, the one entitled "Cocktales," in which her conquests of recent evenings had been outlined ....

Etymology: grog (alcoholic beverage) + blog (from Web + log: a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page)
