Villagepeephole
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: vill aj peep hole
Sentence: In our little town many years ago, no one had a telephone except for the drugstore at the bottom of the street. The pharmacist was next to the butcher's shop. Long ago, some clever person decided to drill a peephole in the side wall between the two shops. The butcher had a packle of kids and the family lived above the shop. Whenever a call came in for someone up the street, the pharmacist would yell through the hole who the call was for and the butcher would dispatch one of the brood to go get the recipient. This social network system was called the villagepeephole and was used constantly, until the day that phones became more affordable to the town's people. Eventually the shops were knocked down in the name of progress and to divert the youth of the town, a recreation centre was built and you guessed it, the villagepeephole gave birth to the Y.M.C.A.!"Young man, there's a place you go..."
Etymology: Village (little town) & Peephole (hole cut in something to peek through;spyhole) & Wordplay on Village People
