Menagerieatrois
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: men a jah ree a twa
Sentence: When Angus moved in with Cattelena, he herd that her bovine was to menagerieatrois with them. Sometimes he wished he had been more of a maverick and had had time to ruminate; take a poll or gotten a Papal Bull about the hayrrangement. Suddenly, phrases like "Hit the Hay", "BedSpread", "Counterpain", "Rustling the sheets", "Udder ecstasy", "Beef Tongue", "Ranch Dressing", "Ride a Limousin" and "DetOX" took on a whole new meaning for him. And many's a night he awoke Friesian because someone had steered the covers off him or he had a very sharp pain in his calf! Every morning, there was a stampede for the bathroom. At this rate,and with his short horn, he would never be a fodder.
Etymology: menage a trois ("sleeping" arrangement of 2 with a third participant, wink, wink, nod, nod, say no more, a wink's as good as a nod to a blind horse) & menagerie (a facility where animals are kept)

Corabbitation
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: ko-rab-bi-TEY-shun
Sentence: I heard scratching; was that Cotton-tail - had he returned?" Quickly, I leapt out of bed, and opened the bedroom door. Sweeping my furry little friend up in my arms, I said, "Where have you been?" In a nanosecond, I knew the answer, six little bunnies were running over my toes. Cotton-tail had brought his family home. Jumping up onto my bed, they all snuggled around me: it was cozy: it was contentment: it was corabbitation. Suddenly, and it seemed like only seconds later, a jagged elbow buried itself into my ribs. Roxie rasped, "Wake up; dreaming again; I suppose, what about this time?" "Rabbits," I said. "More like Playboy Bunnies," she responded.
Etymology: Rabbit & Co-habitation.

Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: mayn jur a twa
Sentence: It was becoming udderly impossible for a cowboy like Chuck (a Taurus) who lived in El Toro to consummate his relationship with the lovely Bovina, from Covena (still a Virgo).

Chuck thought a full-grown cow belonged on the range or in the freezer! Because of this mangeratrois, he would get charlie horses in his calves each night;hoof in mouth disease;hay fever;wake up Friesian each night because Elsie steered the covers off him and have cowlicks in his hair. Chuck was getting desperate to become the Loin King, the only thing that kept him going was the delicious, recurring dreams he had...mmmm, Porterhouse, Sirloin, Tenderloin, Rib Eyes, Beef Ribs, Filet Mignons, Chateaubriand,T-Bones, Prime Ribs, Ground Round, Rib Roasts, Rouladen, Salisbury, Standing Rib, Swiss Steak, Steak Tartare,Hamburger, Beef Stew...Cud this couple really live happily Heifer after?

Codepetent
Created by: karenanne
Pronunciation: co dee PET ent
Sentence: You know how 1-year-olds move around a lot when they sleep and wind up in funny and cute positions? And how if you sleep with them, you sometimes end up with a foot or a butt in your face? Well, it isn't so cute when they are 8 and still in your bed, but taking up a lot more room, and you get kicked or punched all the time. So you have to feel bad for Indy Cysive, whose 8-year-old happened to be a chimpanzee who still insisted on sleeping in Indy's bed every night. Indy had even bought a special bed just for Harry the chimp, but every night when she tried to put Harry in it, he whimpered and wrapped his arms around her. Indy secretly missed those chimp baby years when he had needed her so much, and she was too much of a codepetent to say no to Harry. So the expensive pet bed remained unused. And almost every morning, Indy woke to find a fuzzy arm draped over her face. At least Harry was willing to keep his diapers on, since he did weigh 150 pounds by then.
Etymology: codependent + pet

Goatobed
Created by: petaj
Pronunciation: go - to - bed
Sentence: No sooner had the infomercial finished, than Jerry had dialled the number to order his goatobed, for just $49.95. It was not just the chance to reduce his electricity bill, but the electric blankpet was now downright dangerous, the shleep had proved unsuccessful with his insomnia, and there was the prospect of home-made feta. He was hoping to phone his order in early enough to score a bonus pillow shampoodle to keep his ears warm at night. He just hoped that the duVET bills would not be too expensive. No longer would he be dogtired after his catnaps.
Etymology: "go to bed" + goat
