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

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")

Pronunciation: krafts/may'/knee/uh

Sentence: Jamagra adored the harvest gold toilet in her "vintage" 1970s house. Gleefully she undertook repairing the toilet's flush handle, lift chain and wax seal. Replacing the ball cock filled her heart with true craftsmania! Unfortunately (and disconcertingly) sometimes Jamagra would still walk into the bathroom unable to recall what she was supposed to be fixing that day...

Etymology: CRAFT - 1. to make by hand with great care; 2. a ship or airplane + CRAFTSMAN - 1. one skilled in a craft; 2. the brand of hand tools, power tools, lawnmowers, generators, etc. sold by Sears + MANIA - a pathological state characterized by euphoria, excessive activity and impaired judgment
