Semiphonics

Created by: mplsbohemian

Pronunciation: sehm-ee-FAHN-ihks

Sentence: Alex thought that Semisonic was going on a world tour, but it was only a case of bad semiphonics from his girlfriend's phone conversation with her linguistics prof.

Etymology: semi- + phone + logic + semantics. And it sounds like "Semisonic". :D
