Vaccelibate
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: vak-SEL-uh-beyt
Sentence: "Fingernail", who for so long, somehow, managed to avoid being sucked up, finally succumbed. But just after she was lifted up, there was movement inside the bag and she feared she was about to be split in half. There in front of her was her friend, "Cotton-bud" looking used, abused, and a little worse for wear. Blackened by several layers of mascara, and her face covered in rouge, it was the bedraggled "CB" who spoke first. "Where's "Ivory Button," she said. "Oh, you know what it's like, with her its a matter of life-choice, replied Fingernail. Even Casahoova, himself - "Mr Super Deluxe" with his long proboscis and pulling power, couldn't move her. Sure he tried, and really sucked up to her; caressing, cajoling, cooing and wooing. But Heaven forbid she suckmit to him and his pushy ways. She's an inveterate vaccelibate, who wouldn't allow herself to be picked up by a sucker like him."
Etymology: VAC:short for vacuum cleaner & CELIBATE: one who abstains from sexual relations - and, certainly, wouldn't allow him or herself to be "picked-up."

Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: Suck-shi-en-ay-bull

Do you write horror films in your spare time? Great sentence but a little creepy. - Jabberwocky, 2008-04-04: 08:43:00
Haha, no I don't write much other than these verbotomy nanostories. I've been hitting the blood and guts a bit heavy as of late, haven't I? - Banky, 2008-04-04: 10:05:00

Lintassesment
Created by: Kennecticut
Pronunciation: lint~assesment
Sentence: With her thumb and forefinger lintassesment tool, it was confirmed that this filament could be removed. She turned to page 32 of the manual on ' The right tool for the job' and found she needed the enticement tool, stored adjacent to the crevice tool. Noting the enticement tool has a row of brushes to if not actually vacuum the lint then at least entrap it for later cleaning of the enticement tool itself. The thumb and forefinger lintassesment tool also works well for this specialized task. She might have done just as well utilizing the black slack lint magnet tool. Maybe next time, then she can leave the work up to the professionals and the dry cleaners.

I think this one was an actual Sniglet back in the day... can't remember the word, though. :)
Hey Jamagra, I think that sniglet was "carpetuation", which very good because it does seem to take long time to vacuum up a cat. ~ James
