Connedement

Created by: petaj

Pronunciation: condiment

Sentence: Doris's mother-in-law loved to poke around in the fridge whenever she came to visit. She would pull out all the sauce and dressings bottles, giving them a firm shake and peering at the use by dates before exclaiming loudly to embarrass Doris, when she found an old one. This time, Doris had a cunning plan to thwart the old biddy. Her fridge was now full of connedements - at the first shake, her mother-in-law was sure to get a face full of thousand island dressing, fish sauce or aioli.

Etymology: conned (subject to a confidence trick) + dement (to cause someone to lose their faculties) + condiment (accompaniments for your food)
