Pronunciation: nin ja va

Sentence: Lois thought she was so smart...sneaking into the kitchen, taking the last cup of coffee without making a fresh pot, taking the last donut and sneaking out again before anyone realized what she had done. Her ninjava skills would have served her well in special ops, but her co-workers were onto her and so the boss gave her a very low mark for teamwork at year end reviews.

Etymology: Ninja (a member of the ninja who were trained in martial arts and hired for espionage or sabotage or assassinations) & Java (coffee drink)

Pronunciation: go/fah/coff/ee

Sentence: 'Time to gofahcoffy' she 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. Goinfahcoffy 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 comtemplate the highly emotional marrage she encountered earlier in the week.

Etymology: go + for + coffee-Related to the ancient and timely Canadian art of sneaking off from work to be on your own, known as 'goingfahcoffy', or 'Tim'sing it up'. Also referenced in respect to unsolicited and irrelevant comments, such as a protoclash.

Pronunciation: furt-food-ling

Sentence: So I decided to use my skills of 'furtfoodling' to avoid any unwanted distractions.

Etymology: 'furt' is taken from furtively (meaning trying not to be seen), and 'food' is from the obvious word food, and 'ling' is added to make it a verb. So you can clearly see the combined meaning, and this covers the definition well.
