Pronunciation: Green dy

Sentence: The heliograph of sirens flickered on Bob's face as he walked slowly around the crumpled piece of tin that was once his car; Jane, the damsel to whom he was en route, was on his mind and he became a bit too greendy... until before long he found himself in the middle of the intersection with a frightening semi-truck on one end and an equally terrifying Mack truck on the other end. Bob, groaning inwardly, would have to postpone his date. The price of being greendy!

Etymology: Green (as in green light) & greedy (gluttonous)

Pronunciation: inchersecting

Sentence: Jane believed that she needed to be inchersecting at every red light in order to continue driving, a notion she'd had since she was little. Her father would entertain her by inching up at traffic signals far enough that he could see when the light in the opposite direction turned yellow. Then he would count to three and say, "abracadabra," making her believe that he had magical powers to change red lights.

Etymology: inch: to move forward slowly in small increments + intersecting: to cut across or through as at an intersection of a road

Pronunciation: 'pil-fer-me-ter

Sentence: "I must not be tripping the signal" said Kimberly as she pilfermetered her way through the intersection. "Maybe you've passed it?" suggested Loretta. Kimberly reluctantly reversed several car lengths until she was as far behind the white line as she had been in front of it. "Oh, I'm sure this is much better" Kimberly quipped. But the joke was on Kimberly since she forgot to put her car into "drive" before impatiently accelerating into the car behind her.

Etymology: pilfer (stealthy and incremental theft) + meter (standard metric unit of measure)
