Pronunciation: eet ray der

Sentence: Jocelyn was an accomplished eat-raider. Not only could she out sell her colleagues on the Internet and the NYSE and TSE, she could plan her futures, so that after she placed a particularly steep bid which left her co-workers focussed on their screens and trying to understand her ploys, she made a commandonut & coffee raid on the staff kitchen. When she picked out the consomme instead of the boullion, she ran back to make a stock exchange and pointed to it with her index finger. Since you had to pay for the food, she was often a broker eat-raider. Yes, Jocelyn was a stealthy eater.

Etymology: Eat (take in solid food) & Raider (someone who takes spoils or plunder or a corporate investor who intends to take over a company by buying a controlling interest in its stock and installing new management)& e-trader ( someone who purchases and maintains an inventory of goods to be sold on the electronic stock market).

Pronunciation: tee/toe

Sentence: 'Time to teatoe' Jenny said to herself. This was one of the few times this week she would try to invisibly gumshoe her way to the staff room to enjoy a cup of tea by herself and wallow in the solitude and calmness of the vacated kitchen. Teatoeing was a huge challenge and risk, but if she got by her twenty-two co-workers, the tea and the time alone would help her overcome her protaskination and contemplate the highly emotional connuboil she encountered earlier in the week.

Etymology: TEATOE - verb - from TEA + TIPTOE (to move, or go with caution, or stealth)
