Pronunciation: pole - tree - guy - st

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: SAB-uh-TIR-ah-M'-soo

Sentence: Roxie planned to impress Bob's new boss by cooking for him a meal fit for a god. But the evening quickly turned into a noshmare, when Roxie, following the recipe given to her by her best friend, added spam rather than ham to the dish. The anticipated ambrosia became in a minute a shambrosia, but worse was yet to come when she added freshly made toffee rather than strongly brewed coffee to the italian dessert, leaving Roxie to wonder whether she had been the victim of sabotiramisu or simply a case of her own shortsighted "cordon blur".

Etymology: SABOTIRAMISU: Blend of SABOTAGE: any undermining of a cause. & TIRAMISU : The name Tiramisu is Italian and means "pull-me-up" (Tirami su), a reference to the effects of the sugar and espresso, and can be translated figuratively as "pick-me-up" or in this case: "put-me-down". ShAMBROSIA n. blend of sham: trick, hoax, fraud & ambrosia: used of various foods for mortals since 1685. Cognate: shambrosiate vb.

Hahaha...NOSHMARE!....I initially thought the key was "sabot"...(a thrust-transmitting carrier that positions a missile in a gun barrel or launching tube and that prevents the escape of gas ahead of the missile) Eiter way, it's a great word, O-Bob. - metrohumanx, 2008-11-26: 14:24:00
