COMMENTS:

"Moggie" is a common term for a cat in Australia - Is its use widespread - or even known - in other parts of the English speaking world? - OZZIEBOB, 2007-12-11: 06:48:00

"Moggie" seems to be used more by predominantly British-influenced populations. I've never heard it used here (Eastern U.S.) but I'm not really a 'cat person' either. Interesting blend, BTW. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 14:37:00

I love the way it sounds - Jabberwocky, 2007-12-11: 14:45:00

Pronunciation: pet own ya

Sentence: Petula's new poodle puppy was called Petunia. She was a purebred pooch and a pretentious poseur. Petula attended her every need and was worse than a Stage Mother when managing Petunia's daily life. However, Petula was suffering from a new malaise called petownia...where your every living moment is devoted to the feeding, comfort and care of an animal pet. When Petula's friend, Peter saw her pushing Petunia's perambulator, he paused and posed the probing question, "Why are you pushing her in a stroller?" When Petula's implausible retort came, Peter had one main thought. "Who would an alien assume was the leader on our planet? The pooch, or the person picking up her poo?" Unless he was from anywhere but Pluto...he could only assume it was the pets who were in charge!

Etymology: Pet (a domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement) & Own (have ownership or possession of) & Ya (you) & Wordplay on Petunia (flower with numerous fluted petals; smells sweet and very hardy)

I guess we were thinking along the same lines, and looks like we posted at the same time too. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 05:13:00

And would the adjective/adverp of this word Guccipooch ... be Guccipoochie? Love your word's rhythm and rhyme! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:04:00

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I give up. My brain is affected by all this verboticism activity ... now I'm typing adverp for adverb. Not sure it was a fingerslip or a brainslip ... maybe I need to dental floss my brain after being too long on this website! - silveryaspen, 2007-12-13: 16:06:00

Pronunciation: Pet owned

Sentence: Jack and Jill always gaped in astonishment with a ready phrase of derision lodged in their throats every time Miss Amelia Ampersand passed their house with her baby stroller, in which a poodle lolled with the highest class. It was decked out with the finest accessories known to caninekind (and humankind as well, in some aspects) in a garish display of petownership. "Geez," said Jack, shaking his head in disbelief. "Talk about being petowned." "Imagine extraterrestrials," cried Jill with intensity, "coming along and seeing this pethetic display...what will they think?!" "That humans are the enslaved wards of these four-legged superiors, bridled into succumbing to each and every demand, including the insidious latrine duty?" "Yes!"

Etymology: Pet (animal often treated with affection by their owners) & owned (to possess something)
