As is now known, Felicia had completely shitched her best friend when she was caught with her groom (in bed, on grandma's satin sheets.) - Alchemist, 2007-03-30: 09:45:00

Great word. I hope Felicia is getting over her marrage and shitching her best is the first step. - Stevenson0, 2007-03-30: 10:12:00

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: a-void-doid-der-ee

Sentence: After weeks of trial and error, Margaret's system of avoidoidery was working. She could drink as much coffee as she wanted!. It was simple.

By the end of the day she was no longer faking it.

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)

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.
