Pronunciation: stank-ZI-uh-tee

Sentence: Esmerelda stood all at once upon the threshold of Xavier's home, and upon the precipice of overwhelming panic. It was summer, and the world was wilting around her, but she could not bring herself to doff her spectacular boots. No ordinary boots, these were. Made in 1974 from recycled vinyl, the boots were the funkiest things she had ever seen. She had bought them with her last $40 from a woman on the street corner, and never regretted a thing about them. Until now. Her toes sweltered, and the sparkly polish on her nails was surely softening as she stood in front of Xavier. Esmerelda knew that she could not remove the boots, for the fearsome stench that would issue forth from the fancy footwear would ruin any chance of future happiness. Stanxiety overcame her, and she fidgetted nervously. "You must BE so hot in those boots. Take them off and come inside". Xavier stepped back and welcomed her. But Esmerelda was rooted to the spot. "It's okay," she said. "I'll just wait by the door." Xavier turned and walked inside. A small part of Esmerelda melted... and it wasn't her toes.

Etymology: STANK: past tense of STINK: to emit a strong offensive smell + ANXIETY: distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune

Pronunciation: ap pre sent siv

Sentence: Wilbur was always apprescentsive about removing his footwear when he visited people. In fact, you could say that people who insisted on footwear removal were his arch enemies. It made him feel like a heel and meant he was socially out of step. One of these days he would pump up his courage and actually remove his boots, but until then he would stay tongue-in-cheek as a loafer by the door. You see, he lived in dread of the smell his feet...they stunk. No amount of washing, foot deodorant or talc could improve the aroma. The unkind would say things like, "Are you from You-Reek-A?" or "Inhale to the Chief!" and even people who spoke with a Brogue, would say, "Who is dat Fetor? Johnny Stench?" Wilbur had tried many cures, but could never find a pedicure for his troubles. Their olfactory assault was not the sole reason for his being apprescentsive: Wilbur had suffered from toe-lio as a child (which also left him with a lingering case of knee-monia.) As a result, he had 8 toes on each foot and it was easier to sneaker into parties with his footwear intact, than to explain his an eight-toe-me to the in-toe-lerant!

Etymology: apprehensive( mentally upset over possible misfortune or danger;fearful,worried or dreading something) & scent (an odor left in passing by which a person or animal can be traced;cause to smell or be smelly)
