Pronunciation: pantēloōn

Sentence: Joan was all to happy to help her friend Mike with his virus-infected laptop. What she was not so happy about was when she found a file folder with her name on it and dozens and dozens of pictures of her in various stages of undress with the camera clearly trained on her underwear. Some even looked as though they were shot through her bathroom window. So that*s it. That*s Mike*s dark little secret. He*s a pantyloon. Good news to report to Mike. Most of his files were recovered and the delete key works just fine.

Etymology: panty (legless underpants worn by women and girls) + loon (a silly or foolish person)

COMMENTS:

better than other peoples'. you perfectly gave a word FOR the definition. - ohwtepph, 2007-04-25: 19:55:00

It's a good word, but I'm not sure it better fits the description than many others as Ohwtepph mentions. I think it better describes the emotional reaction to the discovery itself. But I think paying too close attention to the "rules" of the game is unpardonable in cases such as this. Afterall, it just limits the fun we have. - petaj, 2007-04-25: 23:18:00
