Pronunciation: wow und dawg

Sentence: Elvis took his hound for a walk. But the hound didn't like being held back by his leash, so he raced in circles around Elvis, coiling, looping, twisting, spiraling, and curling the leash around Elvis' legs and ankles, even his blue suede shoes. Elvis sang out in misery as he tripped and tumbled down: "You aint nothin but a wounddog, Now I'm cryin all the time. Making me nothin but a bound ground hog, Cryin all the time. Well, you aint never caught a rabbit And you aint no friend of mine."

Etymology: Wound Dog is a play on Hound Dog. There is a way to correct the spelling of the word! After clicking on edit beneath save and go back is "oops! I want to change the spelling of my word" and with a click on that ... voila!

Ohhh nooooo....I suddenly realized we were of like minds and our words are too similar!! - mweinmann, 2009-02-03: 08:57:00

Yes mweinmann, I agree. Glad it was unintentional. Even when this happens deliberately, I just consider it a form of compliment/flattery. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-03: 09:08:00

Good....I felt bad when I realized this had happened.... - mweinmann, 2009-02-03: 09:50:00

Pronunciation: kall or kot ted

Sentence: To his hip dude friends, he was known as "Dawg" because of his many pet dogs. But to his devoted canine pets he was known as "Doofus" because of his lack of control over them. When they strolled they loved to make him seem collarcoated to the rest of the world. It was not hard to do this, since their iq's were much higher than his, doggone it!

Etymology: Collar (a band of leather or rope that is placed around an animal's neck as a harness or to identify it) & Coated ( having a coating; covered with an outer layer or film; often used in combination) Play on color-coded(a method of organizing things by a series of colors for faster identification)

Pronunciation: LEASH lash

Sentence: The imprudence of having four dogs dawned on Susie when she was left alone early one morning to walk the dogs. She could have taken each one out separately, but instead boldly harnessed each dog onto a separate leash. Susie closed the door and they were off! They veered left, then suddenly ran circles every which way, giving Susie leashlashes to her ankles. OOOuch! The four dogs hopped and jumped, entagled in their knot of leashes. Susie let go of all the leashes and mouthed a swear word. The dogs struggled in a tangle so she managed to unclip the four leashes. The dogs continued to walk gracefully up the street.

Etymology: Leashlash n or v. From: leash, to keep on a cord; and lash, the action of whipping back, out or at someone.
