Pronunciation: tar diss sham poo

Sentence: Rosie lost all track of time and space when she entered the shower and commenced her tardishampoo.

Etymology: TARDIS (Dr.Who's phonebox/spaceship which is an acronym for "TIME AND RELATIVE DIMENSIONS IN SPACE"...it's actually a huge space inside). & Shampoo (to wash, lather and rinse hair & product which cleans hair).

Pronunciation: dA-jam-poo

Sentence: Marty closed eyes under the shower, and in a state of dejampoo, reached down to grab the bottle. You'd think the odd shape would have warned him. No. He twisted it open. You'd think the acrid smell of lemon-ammonia would have alerted him. No. He massaged it into his hair. You’d think that the corrosive power of toilet-bowl bleach etching into his scalp would have stirred him from his reverie. Well, it did actually -- after about five minutes. Marty is now a very bleached blonde.

Etymology: deja+shampoo
