Aquariass

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /uh-KWAIR-ee-ass/

Sentence: Lisa carried that stupid water bottle with her everywhere — even when they went out for lunch. Carl told her, "I'm sure they have Coke or tea here, Lisa. You don't need to bring your own drink." Lisa replied, "My body needs water to stay hydrated. I am an Aquarius, you know." Rolling his eyes, Carl thought to himself, 'You mean an Aquariass, don't you?'

Etymology: Aquarius - eleventh sign of the zodiac; the Water Bearer (Latin literature, "water carrier") + ass - a stupid, foolish, or stubborn person (from Old English, assa "donkey")

Sipbottle

Created by: OZZIEBOB

Pronunciation: sip-BOT-l

Sentence: There they were: a motley mob of drinkwaters, sipsops, aquaholics, potable-notables, hydroeclectics and sipbottles with their prete-a-pote designer bottiglia. I said to Bluey. "Crikey, what's this country coming to when a bloke can't get a beer". Blue nodded, "Dunno, but I got more respect for a koala than this lot. But ya know, Bobbie boy, what "Evian" spells backwards, don't ya? Naive!"

Etymology: SIPBOTTLE:Sip & bottle. PRETE-A-POTE:ready to drink, based on prete-a-porte. KOALA: marsupial whose name means in native languages: one who doesn't drink water. EVIAN: the most popular brand of bottled water in Australia, probably sold worldwide.

I really like hydroeclectics - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00

My favorite was potable-notables. Bountiful verbots! Bountiful humor! Nice twists! Great sentence! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:49:00

How about 'sipsops'? So many to choose from, Bob. Interesting bit about the word 'Koala' too! - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 23:34:00

Hydrogents

Created by: Nosila

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

ErWenn - 2008-02-21: 08:53:00
I've spent most of my life in the desert (16 years in Nevada and 8 in Arizona), so where I come from, this sort of behavior is just common sense.

Jabberwocky - 2008-02-21: 09:12:00
I like the picture today James - it's closer to a cartoon

Verbotomy Verbotomy - 2008-02-21: 09:50:00
Thanks Jabberwocky. I'm having a little fun with the photos -- just to keep them light. And by the way, we're floating in great words today. Obviously everyone here is over-hydrated. ~ James
