Gaudygnhome

Created by: splendiction

Pronunciation: gau dy gnome

Sentence: Their garden was slowly receding as it faced increased competition with the statuaries, gnomes, bird baths, and plastic pinwheels. In fact, many nearby residents began worrying their realestate was being devalued by the whole gaudygnhome and its dreadfully garish collections of lawn and garden accessories. The owner’s oldest, most favoured, gnomes had even begun to desintigrate into fragments of faintly painted terracotta.

Etymology: From GAUDY, GARDEN, GNOME and HOME. It means a home that is gaudy, or garish, due to its plethora of garden gnomes and such.
