Verboticisms

Pronunciation: glow ball warn ing

Sentence: Globalwarning of rapid carbon release from the earth should encourage measures such as a return to using renewable energy sources such as water power, wind power, even solar power. Certain industries and populations must reduce their carbon emissions, or we will continue to see ocean water levels rise, bizarre weather; and ultimately experience continued loss of animal and human life...leading to extinction.

Etymology: From the words "globalwarming" and "warning". A term that warns that our problem of globalwarming needs immediate attention and change over to using "green", earth-friendly energies. This is our globalwarning!

Pronunciation: flow - k

Sentence: It was a complete floeke that Noah had finished both the carpentry and the animal husbandry when the ice age was ended unexpectedly by the sudden impact of an armada of spaceships against the arctic ice cap. Was it an act of God, intelligent design, or a surreal blend of fact and fiction. In truth, Noah had no forewarning. He was a boatbuilder with a strange penchant for animals and a great deal of ambition. Coincidentallly about the same time he started construction, the lush who was Admiral started drinking rocket fuel "on the rocks", which resulted in him leading his flotilla of spaceships completely off course. Some twenty years later they crashed spectacularly into the Arctic Circle, en route to Betelgeuse, just as the pair of zebras clopped up the gangplank and the water lapped around the keel.

Etymology: floe (as in ice floe) + flow (as in water) + fluke (accident) + it sounds like a 4 letter exclamation

Pronunciation: ICE berg ler ee

Sentence: The government has had to impose sanctions against many of the big companies who are contributing most to pollution and CO2 levels, since they don't care if it causes global warming, melting of icebergs, and rising sea levels 50 years from now. Why should they care? None of those people will be around! Basically their actions (or inaction) should probably be termed an iceburglary. Although speculating on future oceanfront properties in the Adirondacks might not be a bad idea....

Etymology: iceberg + burglary
