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?

Pronunciation: Muh-ther-Smuth-erd

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. She says "Who knows what you'll catch playing with all those balls!" It is nice to be mothered, but I need help. I've become a none in this motherhouse. You've heard of Mother Hubbard. Mine is MotherSmuthered.

Etymology: Mother and Smothered and a play on Mother Hubbard = MotherSmuthered. Mothered: loved, cared for, and protected Smothered: overly suppressed

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)

Cheers, all...Mona's last name is Lott, by the way! Earl's is Grey....naturally he and the mother did not wed as carny life is not condusive to marital bliss! - Nosila, 2008-02-22: 23:53:00

But her mother Zell still had that same fanatical streak as Earl. - petaj, 2008-02-23: 05:36:00

And then, petaj, don't forget her sisters, Camille Lott, the idealist;Eda Lott, a plus size model and their adopted brother from Korea, Park King Lott! - Nosila, 2008-02-24: 00:18:00
