Smugsmog
Created by: wordslikevenom
Pronunciation: smug-smog
Sentence: It was 5:29PM and close to clocking out time as Milly reached into her desk draw and grabbed the plastic carrier bag from inside, flapping it into the air. The bag ballooned open as she rushed to place it over her head, wrapping it tightly around her neck. Bang on 5:30PM, like clockwork, Lenny raised his arms to the back of his head, lent back into his chair and took a big sniff of his shirt armpit. Milly could hear him taking in the air but despite the plastic protection the smugsmog very nearly knocked Jenny out cold. "Ah", he said, "You couldn't buy that in a bottle, eh?"
Etymology: Smug - too pleased or satisfied about something you have achieved or something you know. Smog - air pollution
Philistink
Created by: ErWenn
Pronunciation: /ˈfɪləˌstɪŋk/

Etymology: From philistine (a person who is lacking in or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc.) + stink (a strong, offensive smell)

I'm not actually sure how many people are familiar with the word "philistine," and it's just not as funny if you have to look up the definition. - ErWenn, 2007-10-02: 01:40:00

Stenchutzpa
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: sten-CHUTZ-pa
Sentence: Bob was a bit of a nidork, blithely unaware of the effect his dyspongnosis had on others. Often he would loudly exclaim: "Here I am again, fragrant as a rose." Frequently office conversations were punctuated by puffs of perfume as this self-assured stenchutzpa sauntered by. Even the suggestion that he should take up "Pong Shui" was meet with the usual response of "no sweat." But when he resolutely declared that he didn't come down in the last shower his fellow workers could take no more.
Etymology: Stench & chutzpa; boldness, brashness, gall, effrontery, Nidork (nidor & dork); Dyspongnosis: condition of bad smell; Pong shui (shoo away the pong)
