Pronunciation: low d stow nd

Sentence: Carter knew how to bolster up for the Christmas gatheringy-dingdings. All it takes is a slew of morale boozeter shots. Everyone knows that a Carter is good at getting well-loaded, yet still delivering the goods. For parties, Carter was well sot after, perhaps because of his plastered smile, and smooth as Black Velvet tongue. He was a loadstoned attraction.

Etymology: LOADED, STONED, LODE STONE. Loaded and stoned are synonyms for being inebriated. Lode Stone not only means a magnetic rock, it is also any thing that attracts others.

Pronunciation: festəbəz

Sentence: Lew was nervous about going to his first office ”Holiday” party. He had only had this job for two weeks and hardly knew anybody. All that changed when he arrived sporting an elf costume and a raging festibuzz. The outfit might have been forgiven, the pickling perhaps but kissing Mr. Bossypants full on the lips, maybe not. Strangely when he arrived for work on Monday Lew’s security badge didn’t seem to work on the entry door and a box with his personal stuff was sitting on the curb.

Etymology: festival (an annual celebration) + buzz (intoxication)

Pronunciation: saynt - nipped

Sentence: Joshua got saintnipped this near before arriving at his family Christmas gathering. Uncle Clyde's 20 minute monologue about his illustrious post office career didn't bother him this time, nor did Aunt Sara's endless questions about when he was going to bring home a nice Presbyterian girl to meet the family. Actually, all of these things started to seem amusing to Joshua for a change.

Etymology: This word combines Jolly Old Saint Nick (or Santa Claus) with the past tense of Nip (a small drink of liquor).
