Icellationist

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /ahy-SEL-ley-shun-ist/

Sentence: They were out on a date, but Laura had seen Drew's icellationist behavior already tonight, and on previous dates, when he would talk with his friends for an hour everytime his cellphone rang. He should have been paying attention to her, shouldn't he? So, when he went to the bathroom, she didn't feel guilty at all about popping out the battery, sticking a piece of napkin across the contacts, and putting it back in. He would probably just think the battery went dead.

Etymology: Blend of: Isolationist - one who insulates themselves from ouside or foreign influences (from Latin, insula "island") + Cell - mobile telephone (shortening of 'cellular')

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".

Sentence: Meetings with my boss are a giant pain in the neck and take way too long, because he always manages to decellerate the meeting at least once by answering his cell phone while we are meeting.
