COMMENTS:

FIDODIDOES is very creative. But why restrict ourselves to criticism of canine-americans? This smacks of rampant specieism. Love the word, though. Good work, MUSTANG! - metrohumanx, 2008-07-04: 07:43:00

Pronunciation: Cree-chur-diss-cumf-ort

Sentence: When Linda invited Jane round for coffee at her flat she accepted reluctantly. Remembering last time she went round there, when her dog, Poochiepie, decided to lick parts of himself she never thought he could reach, then promptly jumped up on her lap in an effort to lick her face. Luckily she swerved just in time to avoid the horrorifying situation. She never wanted to feel that sense of creaturediscomfort again. At least this time she will be ready for anything!

Etymology: Creature (a living being, in particular an animal as distinct from a person.) from Latin Creare 'produce' + Discomfort ( Slight anxiety or embarrassment.) = Creaturediscomfort

Great etymology. Good word. FIDO says he never met POOCHIEPIE and was incarcerated at the time of the incident. - metrohumanx, 2008-07-04: 08:11:00

I guess that explains why our cat has such bad breath - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-04: 10:41:00

Great word...my brother-in-law reckons dogs their privates after they lick humans to get the taste out of their mouths! - Nosila, 2008-07-05: 00:18:00

If you think FIDO was despicable, you should meet ROVER! CROTCHETY is very apt, but why is it always about sex? - metrohumanx, 2008-07-04: 07:58:00

great twist to the word - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-04: 10:39:00
