Sentence: Amanda was disappointed. It looked like she had created a poultrygeist this Thanksgiving. She couldn't understand why her roast duck, BBQ chicken and most of all, her beloved deep fried Turkey did not look or taste the way that they should. She thought this would be a true poultry smorgasbord, extravaganza....especially since she had obtained all of Aunt Martha's secret receipes.

Etymology: The word "Poultry" starts off this word. We know that poultry is not usually foul but is really "fowl". The word "Geist" is German and is difficult to translate but is often used to mean mind, spirit or ghost.

Pronunciation: rong kok shun

Sentence: No one could figure out why Marianne made the best chili in the family. When they tried to copy her old family recipe, it never tasted the same. One day her nephew Charlie, a criminalogical forensic chemist, decided to analyze the ingredients in a batch she had made. When he compared it to the recipe she had given him it was no wonder he kept making a wrongcoction. There was no evidence of beef, tomato, beans or known spices in the original recipe. To this day, her wrongcoction remains an unsolved mystery to Charlie.

Etymology: Wrong (not in accord with established usage or procedure) & Concoction (any foodstuff made by combining different ingredients;the act of creating something (a medicine or drink or soup etc.) by compounding or mixing a variety of components)
