Motoroticism
Created by: stache
Pronunciation: mō'tər-rŏt'ĭ-sĭz'əm
Sentence: He was attracted, and she knew it. He telegraphed his arousal with every breath. But she played it cool; he might as well not have existed, as far as she was concerned. Of course, that made her all the more desirable. She stood there, in all her gleaming glory, and idled, her vortec V-6 rumbling, her flanks gleaming, her two-speed transfer case and four-wheel-drive tranny lying idle. "A hundred thirty k's quite a few miles," he muttered, trying to disguise the motoroticism reeking from his pores, then offered twelve hundred fifty for the '92 S10 Blazer.
Etymology: moto, middle Norse, "diminuative snapshot structure;" rot, bef. 900; (v.) ME rot(t)en, OE rotian, c. Fris rotsje, D rotten; (n.) ME, perh. < ON rot (perh. partly deriv. of the v.), "aroma of that which eminates from Denmark;" I, the nominative singular pronoun; cism, derivative of 'sizzle,' from early N. V. Peale, that which is sold in lieu of, and is percieved as preferrable to, the steak.

Mechanimism
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /muh-KAN-uh-miz-um/
Sentence: 'Janice seems to really love her new food processor,' mused Charles as he left her apartment. She'd invited him over for dinner, but then she'd spent most of the evening in the kitchen with it. He was sure he'd heard Janice humming and cooing to it everytime she switched it on, and she would meticulously clean it between and after each use, admiring the sharp, shiny, new blades. As he got into his car, Charles told himself that he wasn't jealous, but this was surely a case of mechanimism, and he began to wonder about Janice's sanity. "Oh well," he thought, patting the dashboard of his Porche, "that just means more quality time for us, right Katrina?" (the car was named for her stormy personality).
Etymology: Mechanical - having to do with machinery (from Greek, mekhanikos "an engineer") + Animism - the belief in the existence of individual spirits that inhabit natural objects (from Latin, anima "life, breath, soul")

Carsanova
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: Cars ah no va
Sentence: You'd think the old hot rod had a hot bod, the way Pat Brady spoke to his Nellybelle, his 1946 CJ-2A Willys Jeep. "There you are, my little Nellybelle! Come on" Pat would pur to her. It wasn't a blonde with a great figure, but a ragtop four-by-four, yet Pat would tell it "You are in great shape." and "You can go a little further, now!" To Pat, Nellybelle was a sweetheart giving him a sweetcart. When it came to Nellybelle, Pat was a real Carsanova.
Etymology: CARS, CASANOVA. A lover of cars is a Carsanova. Car - a term loosely used to refer to any vehicle. Casanova - one of history's great lovers, so great, his name is eponymous for lover. (Is anyone else old enough to remember Pat Brady and Nellybelle from the Roy Rogers Show? "Happy Trails to You, until we meet again!")

Hehe. It's an actual fetish. There are guys who hump their tailpipes. A bit of grease would do wonders & maybe a foil condom to avoid GTSTD's - GlobalGallery, 2009-01-19: 05:14:00

Have these always been called "verboticisms?"
Yes that's the word we use to describe our invented words. Of course you can also use "neologism". And I think we should create a subcategory for invented words with sexual undertones like your winning word today. It would be "verberoticisms". ~ James
