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)

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.

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!"
