Sanidupe
Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: SAN-ih-dupe
Sentence: Sasha slept till noon and if Bob wanted a cup of coffee or a spoon, he had to wash one. As he glared at the mound of laundry slowly growing like the Himalayas, Bob realized he had become a SANIDUPE...meekly picking up the things which others had dropped, and cleaning up without complaint. NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY! He packed all the dishes and eating utensils into the attic, save one set of each. Casually reaching for a clean plate was a thing of the past. Bob's place was NOT a democracy, dammit! It was a benevolent dictatorship, and if everyone had to live a monastic way of life....TOUGH! Sasha soon moved out, taking her piano and Bob's heart, but leaving her three cats behind, complete with three fragrant litter boxes. Now Bob stares at the candle as he sits on his solitary kitchen chair, filling sandbags and feeling like the curator of a turd museum. He was SANIDUPED again!
Etymology: SANItary+DUPE=SANIDUPE.....SANITARY:of or relating to health,of, relating to, or used in the disposal of repugnant domestic waste; French sanitaire, from Latin sanitas.....DUPE:one that is easily deceived, cheated or conned into performing chores for others;French, from Middle French duppe, probably alteration of huppe hoopoe.....

Had fun with your definition today, purpleman! A rose for your good cartoon, James! (an aside for pupleman and Stevenson about a past verbot: You both noted that beefcant got votes but no comments. It was because most of the compliments I thought turned my face red! If you care to go back and take a look, I'm tickled pink to tell you I finally came up with one I could post!)
Smells like a rose or maybe a strawberry. Thanks Silveryaspen! ~ James
