Stealthfood
Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: stellth-food
Sentence: The scale gave a small muffled electronic scream when Andy brought his full weight to bear. He was just about done with trying to shape up; two weeks of treadmill and proper diet had led to a 5-pound gain. Unfortunately, Andy had been mistaken in his meal-selecting logic, and all of the sensible meals he had recently consumed were in fact stealthfoods. The 8-oz portion of fish the night before, for example, had come from an Eastern Stoned Lardwrasse. After a lazy afternoon on the reef smoking reefer, the fish had consumed a bag of Funyuns, 3 Big Macs, 2 orders of fries, a chocolate shake, and a carton of Haagen Daazs. Leaving his friends laughing in his enormous wake, calling him names like "Marlin Brando", the lardwrasse had groggily stumbled into a waiting net, his certain doom, and another veneer of fat on Andy's barely denim-constrained buttocks.
Etymology: stealth + food; ala healthfood
----------------------------
COMMENTS:
What a witty twist to come up with an eat-it-self-to-death fish that packs weight on humans! Topped off with a meaning full great pun! Excellent Won! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-19: 10:06:00
Now I know why I almost bought that bag of Bloomin' Onion Crisps at the store tonight. Bastard Banky! (Sorry James!) Nice word! - purpleartichokes, 2008-03-19: 20:55:00

Corpugeal
Created by: Jamagra
Pronunciation: n: corp'/u/jeel v: corp/u/jeel'
Sentence: Lisa could not believe that a box of Valentine chocolates could corpugeal on her butt so quickly or so thoroughly, especially since she had been running three miles a day since Fat Tuesday, 1998. Obviously she would need to be more fats-tedious about her diet.
Etymology: corpulent (fleshy, fat) + congeal (to solidify or jell)
----------------------------
COMMENTS:
Fatstedious is a word I'll use a lot. Double kudos for two first-rate creates! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-19: 10:19:00
very nice - Jabberwocky, 2008-03-19: 11:43:00
Fatstantistic word, Jamagra! - Nosila, 2008-03-21: 17:54:00
