Verboticisms

Pronunciation: in-fillch-rayd

Sentence: For the third day in a row, Terry went to grab her lunch from the office fridge to find only some grape stems and a smushed Kashi bar in what was once a cornucupia of delicious food items. She had been foiled by this infilchraider one too many times. She spent the rest of the dayfighting off hunger pangs while rigging up a Web cam in the refrigerator to catch the sneaky and merciless thief. Unfortunately for her, she was fired for violating company policy about Web cams at work, and the HR person who wrote the policy continued to infilchraid people's lunches at will. He did miss Terry, though, or at least her lunch.

Etymology: Infiltrate: to enter or move into an area + filch: to make off with the belongings of others + raid: a sudden short attack.

Pronunciation: pil-frij

Sentence: Ralph didn't believe that what he did should be classified as pilfridge. He observed on a daily basis that people rarely ate all that they brought for lunch. He considered it below his status to pick through the trash after they tossed the remnants so preemptive raids only made sense. Sally certainly didn't NEED that big chunk of cheesecake. He was doing her a favor by shaving it down to a reasonable size.

Etymology: pilfer (steal - typically things of relatively little value) + fridge (a refrigerator) Derivative of pilferage

Pronunciation: up-PIL-fridge-ATE alt;UPILFRIDGEATE

Sentence: Hank the Shank was a model citizen, an adequate employee and an active member of his community. Unbeknownst to his co-workers, he was also the office food thief, stealthily swapping his unappetizing mozzarella sticks for someone's imported brie. Hank the Shank would UPILFRIDGEATE his bland baloney sandwiches for a slice of Cap's home made quiche when nobody was looking, and justify it to himself by leaving low-grade generic foodstuffs behind. His moral oversight resulted in the communal refrigerator filling up with industrial-grade munchies which remained untouched and unwanted. With each foodswap, his guilt and fear would grow, but he was unable to stop himself. Hank the Shank knew that if he was caught UPILFRIDGEATING, he would be shunned by his comrades and a fog of suspicion would linger over him like a noxious cloud of escaped freon. To a foodlum like Hank, the bleu cheese was always greener on the other side of the fence.

Etymology: UP+PILFer+refRIDGErate+ATE= UPILFRIDGEATE .....UP:from "upgrade".....PILFER:: steal ; especially : to steal stealthily in small amounts and often again and again;Middle French pelfrer, from pelfre booty.....ATE: past tense of EAT;: to take in through the mouth as food : ingest, chew, and swallow in turn;Middle English eten, from Old English etan; akin to Old High German ezzan to eat, Latin edere, Greek edmenai

Sentence: Forsythe the Forensic Accountant on the fourth floor was famous because he would forayge in the fridge. He focussed on fabulous finds and would forge ahead of the noon rush to find filberts, feta, fontina, figs and Fanta. He filched things out of different lunch bags and filled his own lunch box with the fixings. Then he would calmly stroll into the lunch room and enjoy a free, filling and funtastic feast. He would purloin sirloin,pluck duck,plunder Wonder bread,rustle mussels,grab crab,rob Cobb and snitch sandwich with the slickness of any cat burglar. In his haste for taste one late morning, Fosythe failed to foresee the video camera which was installed in the lunch room. As he was hauled off in handcuffs, he all too late remembered that there was no such thing as a free lunch!

Etymology: foray (steal goods; take as spoils;briefly enter enemy territory;a sudden short attack) & forage (the act of searching for food and provisions;collect or look around for (food))

A vision of people wandering from commerce to commerce, sneaking into lunch lounges and forayging, only to be chased out by indignant businesspeople or teachers or janitors. - zxvasdf, 2008-10-02: 09:36:00
