Forcelshint

loosepiece

Created by: loosepiece

Pronunciation: FOR-sell-shint

Sentence: Marjory always found social occasions with Gerry to be stressful. His table manners were terrible and his enduring habit of troughing his food ensured that Marjory felt compelled to forcelshint at him for the rest of the evening. Gerry however always seemed blind to Marjory's panic, and was happy to remain at the bottom of the social ladder. Perhaps if he understood the delicate nature of the forcelshint, they would be accepted into the social circles Marjory dreamed of.

Etymology: this is derived from when a person with a morsel on the face, needs a silent hint to remove it. forcel - Morsel, face. shint - silent, hint.
