Pronunciation: gloss-o-mam-mail-i-a

Sentence: Emma, Dr. Doolittle's faithful assistant received the gift of glossomammalia one night at an ASPCA rally. She was an especially talented duck whisperer and soon was given her own show on Animal Planet where she would drive to the homes of people who had pets with issues and grievances against their owners. Eventually she went into animalaw, and succesfully argued in front of the Supreme Court to change the law to allow pets to sue their owners for cruelty.

Etymology: Glossolalia: "The gift of tongues" an estatic speech uttered in the worship services of several sects stressing emotion and religious ferver + mammalia: mammal, the highest class of vertebra.

Animammerotic mammocentrism of the highest order! (but not the 'highest class' since none is 'higher' than another) - dochanne, 2009-05-18: 03:14:00

Pronunciation: /zoo-MYOO-ni-keyt/

Sentence: Trudy always knew she wanted to work with animals, since they were the only ones who seemed to understand her. She would visit the zoo several times a week because she liked to think that she could zoommunicate with the animals there. When there were no other visitors around, she would speak out loud to them, explaining how insensitive and heartless other humans were. Trudy would make her rounds, spending time with different creatures and trying to avoid the crowds. At first the animals at the zoo seemed to show interest in her monologues, but most of them were used to her presence by now and she was beginning to sense their boredom with her. Trudy was going to have to look for another zoo soon — she might even have to move to another city — in order to find a group of animals who were ready for a long-term committment.

Etymology: Zoo - a park or facility where animals are kept (from Greek, zoion "an animal") + Communicate - to express thoughts, feelings, or information easily or effectively (from Latin, commūnicāre "to impart, make common")

COMMENTS:

Looking at the word alone, I like it, so far. - stache, 2008-03-28: 01:23:00

I am sorry if I have unintentionally "stolen" or plagiarize your word. I have included an alternative verbotomy for today: "Assissiate" - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-28: 04:17:00

Oh no, did we post the same word at the same time, Bob? No worries. - Tigger, 2008-03-28: 11:54:00

I could just go with my 2nd choice, "Varminteract" (varmint + interact) as an alternate. - Tigger, 2008-03-28: 12:03:00

Nice sentence. I considered, 'animonologue,' but thought it too one-way. - stache, 2008-03-28: 12:48:00

Impossible for me not to vote for this one. "Great" minds, and all that stuff! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-28: 23:41:00

Pronunciation: mal lard kee

Sentence: Joan owned a pet duck which she named Sir Francis Drake. She was able to communicate with him very well. He became a therapist for her, as she told him all her problems and dreams. He listened and gave her very clear advice. Some people thought it was all mallardkey, really... getting advice from a duck! One day, she asked Sir Drake how much she should pay him for his valuable service. "Don't worry", he said "I'll send you my bill!"

Etymology: Mallard (wild dabbling duck from which domestic ducks are descended) & Mallarkey (insincere or foolish talk; misinformation)

Pronunciation: Ver-beh-trait

Sentence: As a self-absorbed bipedal anthropoid vertebrate Jenny found herself often unable to communicate effectively with others of her kind, largely due to her grandiose verbosity, vective and vacillation. She was thus a verbetrate and spent most of her time quakkety-yakking (but ducks were not such good listeners), gibbon-gabbing, and slither-blathering.

Etymology: Verb: doing word, such as 'speaking'; Vertebrate: animals with backbones, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, but not politicians. This group is obviously so big that the few members who are actually human are neglible. I note this word is often misspelled as 'verbetrate' by an interposition of the "b" and the "t", hence found as such in google. Betray: turn to the 'other' side, ie. talk to the animals rather than humans.. Also Verberage and of course Verbotomy.
