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

Sentence: Wendell spends much of his spare time in the wowidget store admiring the newest **gotta haves**. The fact that he doesn*t understand them does little to suppress his awe.

Now it is just a phone (soon to be a pho or fo?) He also knows that he is quickly running out of mon(ey).

Etymology: wow (expressing astonishment or admiration) + widget (a small gadget or device, esp. one whose name is unknown or unspecified)
