Gallowsbeaver
Created by: Bulletchewer
Pronunciation: gal-ohs-bee-ver
Sentence: We were keenly discussing the Tolkien references in Zeppelin's music, when Robert's mate Jimmy phoned; and of course the gallowsbeaver had to ramble on, seemingly forgetting our presence.
Etymology: From "gallows" which leaves people hanging, and "beaver" used to mean someone who is eager, and "dam" rude. Boom boom. Also "beavers" in Scouting are the youngest members, giving my word connotations of "childish".

COMMENTS:
I'm actually not quite that bad. I don't answer it at family events (unless it's more family), in theaters, or during class. And I always keep it on silent. But I worry about it nonetheless. - ErWenn, 2007-04-05: 08:31:00
Ringslave precedes ringworm. - purpleartichokes, 2007-04-05: 08:56:00
Ringworm at dinner? Yikes... - wordmeister, 2007-04-05: 14:01:00
Ringworm just about anywhere near me earns a "Yikes." - ErWenn, 2007-04-05: 23:26:00

Celleezy
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: sell ee zee
Sentence: Celldon was one Celleezy person. Whenever he took his latest girlfriend, Cellcilia out, he would repeatedly answer the calls he got from his future girlfriends Cellectra or Cellvia on his cell and talk to them for ages, in the company of Cellcilia. Needless to say, Cellcilia, would get upset and feel ignored, particularly when his chats turned to a more graphic nature. He often wondered why these women became so cellective and never wanted to go on a second date. Oh well, plenty more fish in the sea to cellect from... That is until one day he answered such a call in front of his wife, Cellda... It took the doctors three hours to surgically remove that cellphone from Celldon's cellected orifice. And yes, he can hear her now.
Etymology: cell (cellular phone) & sleazy (tawdry, lacking class, morally degraded, of poor quality)
