Deepdishfunk

Created by: Kyoti

Pronunciation: Deep-dish-funk

Sentence: Megan rolled over, hit the snooze button, and began to roll into the cool part of the pillow when she noticed the pizza box still behind the clock from last night's "discussion" with Andy, and she thought about how great a greasy cold slice of triple Italian sausage would be right now, so she flipped the lid up on the box, only to discover the orange drainage amalgam of sausage grease and pizza sauce, but nary a remaining slice, and decided that she would have to start the day in a deepdishfunk.
