Queasemail
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: kwēzēmāl
Sentence: When Sidney woke up on Saturday morning he dragged himself to the computer to survey the damage he might have caused the night before. Through the haze of far-too-much and way-too late he remembered how he thought it would be amusing to see if he could send e-mails to everybody in his address book. Most of them were stupid or made no sense at all but there, in the SENT folder, was the queasemail - that one that he felt deep in the pit of his stomach. The one that felt like Chuck Norris had kicked him - the kind of kick that makes you expect to find your spleen laying somewhere in the living room. That was when the sun came out. He looked in his inbox and found a number of "huh?" responses and the one that saved him. He had sent THE ONE to his girlfriend's old e-mail address and it had been kicked back. Time to take some Tylenol and get the day started. What had he said to her? You'll have to ask him. His delete key works just fine.
Etymology: queasy (nauseated; feeling sick) e-mail (messages distributed by electronic means from one computer user to one or more recipients via a network)

Eliquoreckoning
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: ee lik er rekon ing
Sentence: Having the Stag party to his upcoming nuptials at his own swinging bachelor pad was, in hindsight, probably not such a great idea. At some point during the boozefest, it seemed to Kirk funny to forward e-mails to his prospective father-in-law and bride. In the foggy dawn of his wedding day the next morning, the e-mails had lost their humor...the day of eliquoreckoning had arrived. The father apparently did not appreciate the on-line newspaper printing his obituary or getting tons of spam from Viagra companies, escort agencies and penile implant firms. His daughter objected just as strongly to all the e-mail she was getting from the local prison inmates and the public health clinic about her social disease inquiries. Surprisingly, he had a curt e-mail from the lovely Jolene cancelling their wedding and from her father, one threatening every kind of legal action and public shunning. On the other hand, Kurt was inspired to invent a booze shield which prevents e-mail from working if alcohol is detected on the breath of the sender...he's filthy rich now. It's called a Breath-e-lizer.
Etymology: e-(electronic communication); Liquor (alcohol, booze) & Reckoning (an unpleasant or disastrous destiny;consequence of an action)

Ahh, e-mail and alcohol... They go together like peas and carrots, or like 'lack of inhibition' and 'lack of employment',
