Pronunciation: cup-oh-flaj

Sentence: Linda carefully placed her cup in the box, the one she kept her 'tissues' in and headed in the direction of the ladies. She diverted to the stairwell to the next floor, walked back across, and down again straight into the kitchen. Tea made, she carefully crept back up the stairs, back across to the other side and down again, to make it look like she'd been to the loo. Once she was back at her desk she carefully took the mug of tea out of the box and enjoyed the moment. She had become quite adept in the execution of cuppouflage; she wasn't going to hang around making brews for all and sundy that's for sure.

Etymology: Cuppa - cup of tea/coffee; Camouflage - the art of concealment

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).
