Sentence: Mickey was very proud of her DOGMATOMIA.

The problem is, nobody knew what statement she was trying to make.... besides "go away".

Etymology: DOGMA+TOMIA... DOGMA- a strongly held belief not to be questioned... -TOMIA-Greek suffix meaning to cut or shave...

Pronunciation: ep il a kay shun

Sentence: Julian Kallender loved the seasons and holidays in the year. To celebrate each he would grow his whiskers and then cut our appropriate shapes on his facial hair. He called each his epilaccasion. For Valentine's Day, little hearts;for St.Pat's Day, shamrocks, of course; for Easter, eggs and bunnies; for Cinco de Mayo, some maracas; for July 1, a maple leaf; for July 4, Uncle Sam; for Labor Day, a hammer & sickle;for Thanksgiving, a turkey and for Christmas, holly and Santas. When his favourite teams were in the play-offs, did their logos. For New Year's though, he always did the same thing: he shaved his face and head bald to give them a rest and slather them in lotion until his skin healed. His friends knew the occasions, just by looking at The Kallender!

Etymology: Epilate (remove body hair) & Occasion (reason; an opportunity to do something;an event that occurs at a critical time)
