Pronunciation: swet thret

Sentence: "Dang it", said the Lone Ranger. "I knew I should have never worn these fancy new boots to my faithful companion Tonto's party. They make my feet so hot that I am afraid of being a sweathreat to everyone there!" It was too late to turn Silver around and go home, so the Masked Man went up and knocked at the flap of Tonto's teepee. His anxiety evaporated when Tonto bade him enter and told him to remove his boots and be comfortable. When he hesitated, Tonto knew what was wrong right away (he had that esp thingy going) and said, "Don't worry about your feet,Kimo Sabe, because this is a Sweat Lodge anyway!" The Lone Ranger laughed and relaxed until Tonto said, "Besides it's only the two of us tonight..."

Etymology: Sweat (perspiration;body odor) & Threat (a warning that something unpleasant is imminent)

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)
