Pronunciation: DEE cor ridg ib ul

Sentence: It's not often that we get to stare into the Sun and feel good about it after, and this certainly wasn't one of those times for Darian. His decorrigibility still astounded his brother on new levels, his rIcarus feat less successful with the assistance of plexiglass eyewear.

Etymology: de + corrigible de is pretty obvious. i picked corrigable, because i think that once you've made the mistake, you can learn from it, but then you unlearn from it and commit it again, so that's how you know it's stupid even when you repeat it.

This time he had really gaffedagain as his latest girl had talked him into buying a very expensive, and very large diamond engagement ring even though, unknown to him she was already engaged to someone else.

There's nothing a dragon likes more than a good sausage sizzle, so it's going to be a tough job! - petaj, 2007-06-07: 08:25:00

mmm, arby's...curse you petaj. i know where i'm going for lunch though! - jadenguy, 2007-06-07: 09:15:00

it sounds like there's no sausage left but barbecued ribs would make a tasty treat - perhaps he could tempt him with a tofoot kebab (oops I meant tofu kebab) - great word galwaywegian - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-07: 10:18:00

Pronunciation: ree bone air

Sentence: Pete Ayr was one absent-minded dude. Since his attention span was zip and he never paid attention to what he was doing, he programmed himself to rebonerr regularly. He always lost keys, forgot what to do and generally spent his days in a vortex of making goofy mistakes, from which he learned nothing. He was not always this way. His distraction was not due to chemical abuse, dementia or stupidity, but more plausibly due to being in love. He had met the woman of his dreams, Jill, and since then his head was in a swirl. His rebonerr was charming but at times annoying to Jill. As a result of his behaviour, she nick-named him Re-Pete Ayr. I guess that was better than being called Fatal Ayr.

Etymology: re (do again); boner (stupid, embarrassing mistake); err (to make a mistake or be incorrect) rhymes with debonair(having a sophisticated charm-NOT!)
