Cyboozeled
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /sai-BOO-zuhld/
Sentence: Jack had written a note to himself, "Don't drink and e-mail" on his sticky-note pad, which he had apparently been using as a beer coaster, but the next morning as he perused his 'Sent' folder and saw the e-mail to his boss, calling him a "sissyboy", he knew he'd cyboozeled himself out of another job. He laid his throbbing head down next to the phone to await the inevitable call to inform him of his unemployed status.
Etymology: cyber - as in 'cyberspace' (slang for electronic communication) + booze - any alcoholic beverage (from Middle Dutch, busen "to drink heavily") & foozled - bungled; played clumsily (golf slang; Perhaps from German dial., fuseln "work poorly or slowly")

Bacchemailya
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: bak ee mayl ya
Sentence: Vinnie was not a guy who could hold his wine. The Riesling for this was because it was never his Sauterne to buy. Because he got free drinks, he could easily afford to drink more...way more than he should. He would often Mosel down to the local Wine Bar and order a few. After a few, he would Rhone back home and fire up his computer. It was then that he would send e-mails to everyone in his company, including his boss, and Pinot his thoughts and speculations on line. He crossed the Bordeaux when he said the Boss' sperm count was unusually Merlot and said it Shiraz been a while since the boss's wife, Sangria,had been living at their home. Vinnie blamed this on the cute Medoc in the local hospital where Sangria worked. Yes, if only Vinnie had not had his Bacchemailya, he could have been Sauvignon his job! Life is a Cabernet, Old Chum, only a Cabernet!
Etymology: Bacchanalia (used of riotously drunken merrymaking...named after Bacchus, Roman God of Wine & Intoxication) & E-mail (communicate electronically on the computer) & Ya (You, colloquially) & Back He Nail You (Revenge of your boss)
