Lapitizers

Created by: lumina

Pronunciation: lap/i/tize/ers

Sentence: Saturday night was the last straw for Ed. Grabbing a bite to eat out in public with June was just too humiliating. He had overlooked the time that ripped open the Cheetos bags (hers AND his) at the bus stop to lick the cheese. He ignored the time she grabbed everyone's utensils at the company picnic making sure no condiment or sugary glaze went to waste. But when she moistened her fingers and then started dabbing at his pant legs for lapitizers in front of his parents, he was as Jerry Seinfeld said in one of the many classic episodes, "Off the project!"

Etymology: lap and appetizers

Created by: Rhyme79

Pronunciation: rapp-uh-scrahh-pss
