Pronunciation: blōtkōt

Sentence: While others are wearing heavy parkas and what they call puffy jackets Tim is wearing a thin windbreaker. This is because he is wearing a bloatcoat. Starting at Thanksgiving he has been on a Paula Dean-inspired diet of butterfried schrimp, buttermilk cake with butter icing and buttermilkshakes. His only regret is that he has not been able to find a ready source of muktuk.

Pronunciation: po-co-cor-pu-len-te

Sentence: Above her desk, Kimberly kept a calendar with photos from various missions to the moon. She liked to be reminded of the moon phases and the period of time when science fiction permeated popular culture. But her calendar failed to document a waxing and waning moon much closer to Kimberly's heart: the one she bought elastic-waist pants for. Around the same time as the leaves' changing, Kimberly's eating habits changed from "pollo poco" to "pococurpulente." It should be no surprise that she always kept cheese in her desk.

Etymology: pococurante (little concern) + corpulent (having a large body)

Oh no, he thought...she may just crawl into a den and wake up in spring with twins!
