Pronunciation: sub doo fuss

Sentence: Earl thought his vigilance in keeping his daughter, Mona, locked up was a way of saving her from herself and all the evils in the world. But he was actually a subduefuss and his obsessive overprotectiveness forced her to rebel and run away. Yes, tired of the suppressive lifestyle her father led as an ex-con biker carnival worker, Mona ran off at the tender age of 29 to become a librairian and church choir member. Earl's street cred took a dive!

Etymology: subdue (hold within limits/controls) & doofus (person with poor judgment) & fuss (worry about too much)

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

Pronunciation: Al-SAY-she-ate

Sentence: So when my dad met my boyfriend and saw that he had a few cool tatoos and a pierced nose he, like, began to alsatiate all over the place and pushed me back in my room and tried to lock me in! What is his problem?

Etymology: Alsatiate- Both the French and Germans claim this word, insisting that it derives from the behavior of Alsatians or German Shepherd dogs, known world-wide for their tendency to drool and bark, protecting their owners and, in effect, making them hostages.

Pronunciation: /SHAP-ur-own/

Sentence: Charlotte had been constantly chaperowned; when she went to the mall on Saturdays, her father insisted on staying with her; when she wanted to go to a school dance, she had to bring her older brother as an escort; and her mother picked her up from school each day and take her straight home. It's no wonder that she snuck out one night, ran away and became a porn star.

Etymology: Chaperon (also chaperone) - someone whose purpose is to ensure propriety or restrict activity (Old French for "hood, head protector"; related to 'chapeau' "hat") + Own - [in the sense of] to have complete control over (Middle English, agan "to have")
