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.

Pronunciation: ham burg er lar ee

Sentence: His m.o. - he came in very early to the office each day to ketchup on his paperwork. That way, he could take an earlier lunch break than the others. In reality it gave him an opportunity to raid the office fridge and take the nicest lunch for himself. He relished this form of hamburgerlary, for one of his coworkers always brought a tasty home-made hamburger to be zapped each day for lunch. You mustard admit, it was a clever plan, until he was caught with his hands on someone else's buns. He was now in a real pickle, because his boss was cheesed off...

Etymology: Hamburger (a fried cake of minced beef served on a bun) & Burglary (to steal;theft)
