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)
