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.

Communenebreation

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: kom myun ee nee bree ayshun

Sentence: Bud Nonweiser had a deadline for 6 am and a love of hops in their liquid form. He had already written many draftbeerdrafts of his report for work, but the more he drank, the worse his editing and decision making skills became. After a brief doze, face imprinted with his keyboard, he decided that his current drafts (both the beer and the report) were tasty and refreshing. His boss, Pete Totaller, must have understood that a report e-mailed off at 4:20 am, making no sense and in an alternate form of English must be a form of communenebreation. He decided quickly that this Bud's not for you and e-mailed him back his severance notice.

Etymology: Communication (transfer thoughts or feelings) & Inebreation (stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol) & en-e-breation (electronically intoxicated)

Bud's to you! - splendiction, 2010-04-20: 23:14:00
