Geerbloggle

petaj

Created by: petaj

Pronunciation: gear-blog-ul

Sentence: Bella cursed inwardly when she read back the geerbloggle she posted at 2.00am and looked at the photographs from her night out. Just which one of these ugly mugs had she described as a "golden Adonis" on her blog? They were all hideous!

Etymology: beer goggle (perception that things are much better than they are - like rose-coloured glasses, but brought on by too much beer) + blog + it's mixed up as though the interlocutor has had too many drinks

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Could geerbloggle also be a Spoonerism of sorts on your words of beer, blog, goggle ... and maybe even the end of the word bottle as in beer bottle? I like it. Very creative ... and we don't see very many spoonerisms here. You might just have inspired more! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:37:00

I think I remember doing something like that myself. - Mustang, 2008-11-24: 23:36:00

metrohumanx Very clever. Hooray! - metrohumanx, 2008-11-25: 10:48:00

petaj yes definitely a spoonerism - petaj, 2008-11-26: 02:49:00

Tequimail

Created by: ErWenn

Pronunciation: /təˈkiˌmeil/

Sentence: Tequimail is the most dangerous of all forms of drunken internet usage: not quite as incoherently dismissible as bourblogging, more damagingly personal than margareplies, easier to slip into than mai typos, and more common than champosting.

Etymology: from tequila + e-mail

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

So true, the most dangerous of all usage forms. - sean30, 2008-01-31: 15:17:00

Great liquor-upped verboticisms all through your sentence! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-31: 11:58:00

libertybelle Terrific words! I think bourblogging is my favorite though!! - libertybelle, 2008-01-31: 14:22:00

Personally, I'm a fan of "mai typo". - ErWenn, 2008-01-31: 21:53:00

Very E-sloshed; nice word! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-01-31: 23:13:00

Tipsymail

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /tip-see-mayl/

Sentence: Our senior co-worker, Frank, would enjoy himself at Happy Hour at the bar next door to the office, but then he'd sometimes return to work, and tipsymail the group about next week's assignments. It's hard to believe that someone can 'slur' in e-mail like that...

Etymology: tipsy - slightly intoxicated or drunk (from Middle English, typen "to upset, overturn") + e-mail (short for electronic mail — but of course, you already knew that.)

Shotmail

libertybelle

Created by: libertybelle

Pronunciation: shaht-mayl

Sentence: It was utterly clear to Bonnie that her ex-husband was sending out emails from his shotmail account last night as she waded through his misspellings proclaiming that he was so sorry they ever split up and that he was sorry that she was such a bitch to him. She didn't know it was possible to slur in text, but somehow Phil had captured the essence of what he had found in the bottom of the bottle of Johnnie Walker. She supposed, however, that it still beat him drunk dialing her at 3 am.

Etymology: shot - a small portion of liquor + Hotmail - a well known site for email.

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

With just one letter addition you created a perfect fit for the definition. It's difficult to meld two words into a new one with just 1 letter! Great Create! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:52:00
