Yumbonus

metrohumanx

Created by: metrohumanx

Pronunciation: yum-BO-nuss

Sentence: Deierdre had it all-looks, talent, money... and she was just slopping over with class. StubblyJack was sure she was "The One"...until he saw her eat a burrito. When she finished the beantorpedo, she proceeded to scrape the foil wrapper with her teeth, YUMBONUSing the congealed cheese with gusto. StubblyJack had never seen anyone mortifeed before, but for the sake of love, he would try to get used to it. Pizza boxes, popsickle sticks, styrofoam plates and cupcake shells would not be discarded until Deirdre had eaten all the stubbornly clinging nutriscraps. She had an endearing habit of running her finger around the bottom of the pudding pot. StubblyJack tried to ingestall with her, but he just couldn't match Deierdre's ability to YUMBONUS all the dregs of 21st century take-out food.

Etymology: Yum-interjection used to express pleasurable satisfaction especially in the taste of food..... Bonus: something in addition to what is expected or strictly due-Latin, literally, good

Stealthyfoods

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: stel thee foods

Sentence: Madge was a big fan of stealthyfoods. You know, the kind you'd have to sneak so as not to seem gluttonous.

She believed in getting her money's worth and to her the garnishes were the tastiest part of the dish. People stared, but she didn't care. Her only concern was whether she could afford the rest of the dish. Afterall, wouldn't she hate to get her celery garnisheed???

Etymology: stealthy (avoiding detection by moving carefully) & foods (any substance that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue) & rhymes with Healthy Foods (nutritious diet)
