Created by: readerwriter
Pronunciation: bore-pong-er

On the upside, she was reaching her weight loss goals ahead of time.

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."

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)
