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.

Pronunciation: CAW fee BRAKE owt

Sentence: Each morning at 9:55, right before the boss gave his daily briefing to the high muckety-mucks, Joe managed to escape for his coffeebreakout. That way, he was able to avoid his coffee-loving co-workers, who were too busy lying low in case the boss was in a bad mood that day. As an added benefit, he escaped the notice of his "superiors," who would randomly assign "leadership opportunities," otherwise known as extra work, to whomever they stumbled upon on their way into the meeting. Sometimes Joe drank his coffee out back with Virginia, who liked to get away around that time for her smokebreakout.

Etymology: coffee break + breakout (escape from confinement)

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
