Cashearbasher
Created by: petaj

Malcontedant
Created by: didsbury
Pronunciation: mal-conn-ten-dant
Sentence: I am in a hurry but the staff in this shop are all such malcontendants there is no one who will serve me.

The restaurant gained notoriety and indeed some short lived success until it was forcibly closed by the owners who had a sense of humour failure when even physical abuse of the clientele wasn't enough to deter the hordes of malcontent-watchers.
