It looked high-tech, but gorgeous and she tried to guess what was the real purpose of this exquizmo present. He'd selected it himself in a store and thought it was pretty. A few minutes later their warm cozy Christmas morning turned icy when she realized it was a fancy ladies' razor. "Am I really that hairy?" she demanded. Yes, he should have learned after last year's fiasco...when he bought her a fancy new broom and she exploded, "Am I supposed to ride this to work???"

Etymology: Exquisite (of extreme beauty;lavishly elegant and refined;of delicate composition and artistry) & Quiz (What is it?) & Gizmo (a device that is very useful for a particular job;something whose name is either forgotten or not known)

Sentence: *insert mystic music here* I see it...my visions are as clear as crystal... In the near future, Paris would carry a blondoodad with her to her prison cell in 2042, for nothing more than reckless driving [did you think she would learn?!]. The police then wouldn't have the mental capacity to figure out what it was so they will let it slide. Hell, even Paris couldn't figure out what it was. The rest of Paris' days in prison will be spent in suffering... having to be watched by jailmen blondoodading over the blondoodad.

Etymology: blonde [because it has been stereotyped that blondes have more fun and are more beautiful, but are brainless and useless; this stereotype, though, is false and should not be used to judge a person. heck, i'll use this though for fun. XD] + doodad
