Creepgallery
Created by: splendiction
Pronunciation: creep GAL er e
Sentence: When Jill stumbled upon Jack's creepgallery, she knew he'd become a real creep. How DID he get those pictures? His collection revealed he'd really fallen for her.

Etymology: From: creep (the noun and verb) and gallery.

Galleryeek
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: gal lur eeeek
Sentence: When her friend Giles asked her to his loft, Heather was appalled to find the place was a shrine to her, with thousands of shots of her hanging on every wall. When she ran out, she went to the police and complained about the galleryeek. Giles isn't her friend anymore, since she got him jailed for stalking. Giles is too tired to think about Heather. His new roomie, Big Tiny, has now taken to plastering their cell with pictures of Giles and gives him long hungry glances. Giles sits up wide awake each night with his back to the wall. If you hang pictures in a prison, does that gallery becomes a cellery?
Etymology: Gallery (a room or series of rooms where works of art are exhibited) & Gall (inclined to take liberties;a feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will)& Reek (offensively unpleasant) & Eek (cartoon word to describe a squeal of fright)

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

"To discover" necessarily implies a verb form. However the sheer creativity shown by the creators of the nouns trumps my humble contribution. - metrohumanx, 2008-07-02: 03:09:00
