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

Pronunciation: sinyoōendō

Sentence: They had only been dating for a couple of days but they already have developed an entire vocabulary of sinnuendo. They can get each other charged up with the most common of phrases. It’s gotten to the point that that many in the office are uncomfortable if they speak to each other at all.

Etymology: sin (an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law) + innuendo (an allusive or oblique remark or hint, typically a suggestive or disparaging one)
