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

Sentence: Mr. Badd O. Door came over to my house wearing a a leather jacket, leather pants and heavy leather boots during a hot summer's day last year. I complimented them about his boots and he asked me if I wanted to try them. It was kind of a dare actually, since those boots seemed to be heavy. I quickly said, "Yes, take them off." And not missing a beat, he sped off like Flash into the horizon. I guess coldorsweat must have overcome him.

Etymology: cold sweat (figurative language associated with uneasiness) + odor

They have been known to go for weeks without taking off socks, charms, underwear, etc. as long as they're hitting well.
