Sentence: "She looks so shriveled and mummified," Paul said, taking another osmoronic pull from the Nalgene bottle. "I can't believe she drowned."

Etymology: Osmosis - The involuntary passing of liquid across a membrane, moron - an insipid twit

Pronunciation: high dro jents

Sentence: Freddie always thought himself as one of life's hydrogents. He enjoyed his bottle of water everywhere and while recycling 64 ounces of the fluid behind a tree in the park, accidentally exposed himself to a policeman. It was then he realized that you don't buy the bottle of water, you only rent it. It was also then that he finally realized why his co-workers nicknamed him Liberace...because he was the peeanist in the group!

Etymology: hydrogen (H2O) & gentleman (man of refinement)

COMMENTS:

Very elegant! - but what about people with different hydrogenitalia? (And what about that Oxygen atom?) Nevertheless, your snazzy creation snares my vote. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 08:14:00

Also a great pun on the word hydrojets! A water-deflying peeanist escaping from the cops! Excellent humor! Extraordinary verbot! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00

Cheers, Maxine & silveryaspen! It is the origin of the phrase: "Water you in for"? - Nosila, 2008-02-21: 19:56:00

You're on a roll! When it come to word fun ... your tops! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:09:00

Wonderful pun ending! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:08:00

love the sentence - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:32:00

A beautiful pun. I'm surprised more people haven't voted here, but with the downfall of civilization and all, I suppose it's possible. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 19:55:00

You're so right Maxine! Until I thought about it half the day ... I missed the 'ought' in twat ... even though I read the pronounciation several times! Great blending and pun on H2ought, galwegian ... not only your sentence, but your verbot had a great ending and devserved more of a vote! Brilliant! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:00:00

Perhaps if the etymology had read haitch too ought ... More of us would have caught on ... or caught on sooner! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:13:00
