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
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.

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 ....
