Threesecondfool
Created by: astorey
Pronunciation: three-seck-und-fool
Sentence: Jeremy was a threesecondfool who would pounce on dropped food, which somehow gained in attractivenss on its way to the floor. He was also known to try to threesecondfool other people by pretending to just happen upon a recently discarded morsel: "Oh, look! I must have dropped one of my shrimp. Ho ho..it's the three-second rule, you know!"
Etymology: Three-second rule combined with fool, both as a noun (he's a threesecondfool) and a verb (don't try to threesecondfool me!).

Flotsophage
Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: FLOT-so-FAGE
Sentence: SickVic was a textbook example of an unrepentant FLOTSOPHAGE.In most social settings he appeared quite normal, but if he saw the smallest particle of food fall, he went down faster than Bush's approval ratings, often intercepting the wayward morsel before if hit the food court floor. One time he inhaled a FLOTSOPHAGE before it was even identified as one of Sookie's artificial fingernails. SickVic hasn't been seen lately, and legend has it he is presently a resident in the cafeteria at Doctor Beddow's Institute for the Culinarily Challenged.....and a more revolting "challenge of the day" I have not seen.
Etymology: FLOTSOm + PHAGE= FLOTSOPHAGE.....FLOTSOM:miscellaneous or unimportant material unintentionally jettisoned or dropped (as opposed to JETSAM:deliberately cast overboard)Anglo-French floteson, from floter to float, of Germanic origin; akin to Old English flotian to float, flota ship.....-PHAGE: suffix meaning "to eat" (latin)
