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.

Sentence: Imagine the shock when Keira entered the apartment of her study friend, Boarus Piggott. She saw hundreds of pictures of herself littered everywhere. Pictures from every aspect of her life, including intimate moments. She was stunned to be enschweined in this manner. Her personal privacy had been invaded and after the initial shock, her anger had exploded. "I thought you were my friend, Boarus, how could you stalk me this way?" Boarus shrugged and snorted, "I guess my name should be Pigout, not Piggott! You are sow beautiful and sty-lish, my little sausage, with your porcinelain complexion and oinkredible smile...I'll be frank, I've always wanted to pork you! All your other boyfriends were hogging you." Keira walked to the apartment door, where 2 undercover pigs awaited her ham signal. She flashed her police badge and said "I squealed on you, Boarus Piggott, as many other swill! You are under arrest and you are going to the pen for a very loin time, where you will be bacon a lot of license plates!"

Brilliant and sardonic. Pun-gent also. Hams off to you. - metrohumanx, 2008-07-02: 02:26:00

Sounds like Boarus had an extensive porkfolio of Keira's pics. He has very boarish sty'le, and he sounds like a bit of a ham. - Mustang, 2008-07-02: 04:52:00

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
