Pronunciation: fōpô

Sentence: Buffy just can't seem to get things right. She doesn't quite understand the etiquette of the local dog park. She is always the one who creates the fauxpaw. All the others are having fun roughing around when she arrives. As soon as she tries to join in, the people there start screaming at her and pulling their dogs away. Its not her fault that the Pomeranian looks and sounds just like a squeaky toy. Such is the life of a pitbull.

Etymology: faux pas (an embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation) + paw (an animal's foot having claws and pads)

Pronunciation: mem-burrrr

Sentence: Hitting the "Create-a-Word" button on Verbotomy, purpleartichokes was "rewarded" with James' pre-programmed response: “Membrrrr” Loading: Checking dictionary for possible matching words... Spelling: Looks like your keyboard got stuck on one letter. Do you want to spell it like that? Existing: As expected, with such random letters Membrrrr does not match any existing dictionary words. Unique: And... (another insult that didn't copy. Care to fill in the blank James?) Purple now suspects that James is not only the host, but also a membrrrr.

Are you suggesting that the our automated tech support and creativity hints are a little icy? ~ James - Verbotomy, 2008-04-02: 07:26:00

suggesting?! heh! Very creative, purple! (May I call you purple?) - Jamagra, 2008-04-02: 07:53:00

I dunno James, why don't you just make the comments more succinct; say something like, "Wow, that's a really, really, crappy word! Care to join another site?", and give a link to Hooked on Phonics. Of course I jest... I love the verbsnottery! And thanks for the sentence! Jamagra, I think Miss Speller may be a better moniker for me. - purpleartichokes, 2008-04-02: 09:44:00

and her's one for you purple 'Try to remembrrrr the kind of Septembrrrr' - Jabberwocky, 2008-04-02: 12:51:00

oops should have been 'here's' - Jabberwocky, 2008-04-02: 12:52:00

Gawd, I hate that song. (then follow, follow-follow-follow...) Gee, thanks. - purpleartichokes, 2008-04-02: 19:07:00
