Pronunciation: luv-er-cuv-er

Sentence: in order to organise where they were going to hook up after the work function they needed to apply some lovercover

Etymology: from the italian 'loverco' and the french 'ver'...both of which mean 'to attempt to build a sand castle with dry sand'... so clearly this word is inappropriate
