Peaphoria
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: pēfôrēə

Peasureseizure
Created by: Rhyme79
Pronunciation: peez-yer-seez-yer
Sentence: I had the most amazing peasureseizure at the health food place the other day. It was so good, I fainted and the checkout girl called an ambulance.
Etymology: A play on pleasure, minus the 'l'. Added seizure for some rhyming goodness.
Podifeelya
Created by: mrskellyscl
Pronunciation: pod-i-feel-ya
Sentence: One of the oddest of behavioral disorders, podifeelya, is becoming more and more of a problem for grocers. Podifeels have the urge or fantasy to fondle legumes and may actually go up to unwatched barrels of the little veggies and thrust their hands in to experience a "rush" or release of tension. Grocery employees who witness this activity should confront the podifeel and demand that they pay for the entire barrel since this is unsanitary and really disgusting. (This unusual behavior should not be confused with arthritipods -- old Hippies, Deadheads and Tree huggers who will microwave bags of organic rice or beans for arthritis relief rather than use unholistic medicines.)
Etymology: (wordplay on podophilia - foot fetish, one of the paraphilia disorders in which a person has fantasies and attractions to non-sexual parts of the body such as feet or legs) pod: "leg"ume such as peas, beans, etc. + I + feel + ya (you)
Ricerotic
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: rīsirätik
Sentence: Julie loves the bulk bins at the local market, not because of the lower prices or the convenience of buying just what you need. She just loved to plunge her hand into the open barrel. It is almost ricerotic for her.
Etymology: rice (a swamp grass that is widely cultivated as a source of food) + erotic (of, relating to, or tending to arouse sexual desire or excitement) a bit like Rice-A-Roni

Rice is a legume?
rikboyee - 2007-05-28: 01:00:00
it has bean for a while now
If there is no pulse after a nitrogen fix, check for dry pellets or signs of pea.

Too funny. Peas keep it up. Apparently rice is of the family Poaceae, and legumes Fabaceae. They share the same division, Magnoliopsida, but not the same class or order, so they're not very closely related as far as I can tell. But my thumb isn't so green, either.
Thank you for the question and clarifications. I apologize for my loose conjugglation. I was merely trying to plant a seed (or even provide a barrelful of seeds) that would allow our verbotomists to leguritate in a little verbal lentitillation, and perhaps climax with a grammatical tactileguminosaeity. To encourage this kind of wild inpulsation, perhaps we should change the definition to read "... a barrelful of rice, legumes, seeds, candies, or any other dry pellet-shaped objects." ~ James

Why stop there? Let's include moist things, too, like baked beans, caviar, and goose liver.

I'm so gleed, that's it!
