Pronunciation: prone hownd see ashun

Sentence: Maggie used pronehoundsiation when speaking to her pet dogs. She was sure they had a simpler grasp of our language and therefore litterally spoke to all of them as though they were stupid, hard of hearing and/or impervious to the teasing of other pets. Her schmoogie-woogie Schnauzer; her oodly-noodly Poodle; her chewzie-woozie Chihuahua; her orky-dorky Yorky and her musky-wusky Husky were all equally embarrassed by her linguistic torture. So they made a pact, every time Maggie used her verbal offensives on them, they would respond in cat-talk. When she used her endearments on them, they would reply with various impersonations of "Meow" "Mew" "Yowww" "SSSSSSSSSSS" and "NoooWWWWW". Maggie was so impressed that she bragged to her friends that her dogs had become bilingual. Isn't that itty, bitty, kitty nifty??? Who's feline better?

Etymology: Pronunciation (the manner in which someone utters a word)& Hound ( any of several breeds of dog)

Another cute word! And "Who's my shar-peisy daisy?" - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 06:50:00

And sounds like "verbal". - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 07:44:00

shaggy-waggy - dangerous phrase for a Friday - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:53:00

Pronunciation: pets-puh-RAHN-toh

Sentence: Petsperanto became fashionable once again in the 23rd century, but by then it resembled Klingon. Later it would lean more toward bafflegab, just as it always had, but Star Trek was taken a bit more seriously in those halcyon days. Of all the people to reanimate, why'd they pick Shatner?

Etymology: pet + Esperanto

COMMENTS:

I couldn't decide between "Petsperanto" and "Espetanto." If somebody wants to take the other one, I'm cool with that. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 02:15:00

probably his singing prowless? - jadenguy, 2007-06-08: 09:51:00

fabulous word Clayton - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:14:00

maybe they like Shatner because he's such a 'regular' guy - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:15:00

I'm only giving Shatner a hard time. I've decided also that I should've gone with "Espetanto." So hasty sometimes. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 13:07:00

I love petsperanto - it's a great word and I referred to Shatner as being a regular guy because he does all those bran commercials - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 13:25:00

"Petsperanto" is better than "Espetanto". - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:12:00

I'm glad to hear that he did do bran commercials, Jabberwocky, because that's the kind of regular I was thinking of when you first said it, and I thought maybe my mind was just in the gutter...toilet...whatever. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:13:00

it's a good thing Clayton chose Shatner and not JL Picard - that would have led to all kinds of silliness - we could have even encorporated Galwaywegian's baldipachitis into it - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 14:39:00

"Espetanto" has a nice ring to it, though. Damn, now I can't decide again. If anybody reading this works at a coffeeshop, please invent the Espressperanto. I'll take fifty of the most confusing drink known to man, please. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 16:24:00

Sounds like coffee with a dash of Spanish fly - petaj, 2007-06-08: 22:25:00

Makes me yearn for spughetti! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 06:47:00

oh noes, now i'm thinking about the episode of futurama where fry finds his old dog. that episode made me cry. - jadenguy, 2007-06-08: 09:43:00

mmm spughetti with a starter course of clam chowchowder and a fresh salad with collieflower - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 10:22:00

And Yorkshire pudding for dessert. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 11:17:00

perhaps a beagle with cream cheese or a cinnamon great daneish - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 11:38:00

Hamster and cheese? - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 12:22:00

or german shepherd's pie with a dachshund of catsup - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:49:00

Or some poodles in marinara sauce...or a parrot cake...or some chicken cat-chiatore... - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:09:00

I was going to get into more obscure pets, but I started running into the problem that people are about as likely to eat some animals as they are to keep them as pets. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:10:00

Like hushpuppies? Geez Rik, we're really crapping up your place here, aren't we? Hope you haven't become petulant! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 14:21:00

I don't think rikboyee is that petty - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 14:33:00

Woohoo! Quittin' time. Headin' home for a verbeer and a hot dog! Have a great weekend all! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 15:23:00

make sure you have catsup and mouseturd with your hot dog purple - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 15:43:00

i hate you jabber. heading over the cabin tomorrow, and there's still a mouse in there. yum. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 18:55:00

These puns are terrierbly funny. - petaj, 2007-06-08: 22:13:00

Well, they're pretty terrible, so I'll half agree with petaj. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 23:50:00

I guess puns just aren't your teacup. - jadenguy, 2007-06-09: 00:32:00

wow....if only comments were votes....i'd be best in show - rikboyee, 2007-06-09: 09:55:00

Pronunciation: /ˈfɝbl̩diˌgʊk/

Sentence: The speaking of furbledygook can sometimes be an entirely involuntary response, striking even the most serious and restrained people immediately upon contact with a cutesy-wutesy widdle puppy-doggy or kitty-katty.

Etymology: From fur + gobbledygook (intentionally reminiscent of "furball")

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

This is another one that sounds better out loud than it looks written down. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 04:00:00

Looks fine to me. Gobbledygook is more fun to pronounce than it is to read, as well, but what a useful word. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 04:37:00

Cute word ErWenn! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 04:43:00

It reminds me of the little presents our cats leave when they're shedding - usually found by unsuspecting bare feet in the middle of the night - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 15:03:00

This is why all my cats are shorthairs, Jabberwocky. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 23:47:00
