Sentence: At home, I play a game of "Mother, May I" constantly. Due to my mom's fears, she has ruined the game, by making her answer always the same: "Mother says you may not!" Mother says I can't join the school band, for she doesn't want me playing around. Mother says I can't join science club, chess club, or a bridge club because she doesn't want me going to the clubs at night! Mother says I can't play baseball, volleyball, football, or basketball.

Mine is MotherSmuthered.

Novel concept: children as pets! Superb etymology. Fantastic eponomy! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-23: 16:49:00
Your ephonymous verboticisms have inspired other verbotimists to create some great eponymous verboticisms. - silveryaspen, 2008-02-23: 16:57:00
Mistakenly, I thought an epononym was any word that contained part of a name; a name with a syllable or prefix added to 'wordify' it as more than a name. But I was wrong!!! It is a name, and only the name, no additions, that is a true epononym. While I think you have inspired name-based creations, which are not true eponyms, it seems that (at least for the short time I've been playing) that you are the only one who has created a truly eponymous verboticism, in the strictest sense of the definition. Wow! Thank you for piquing my curiosity enough to researth this out. Any one else curious about the strict meaning of eponym might find this link helpful http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/eponyms/index.html - silveryaspen, 2008-02-24: 14:18:00
