Infatsyouate: /In – FATS – yoo – ayt/ When Sebastian saw how much ‘girth’ he’d gained in recent months he muttered to himself while staring, mouth agape, at his reflection in the mirror, “I know the problem is not systemic, it’s infatsyouate, you big blob.” Etymology: Play on the word ‘infatuate’. Infers being infatuated with rich, fatty foods. Created by: Mustang.
Cowisthenics: /kou-uhs-then-iks/ Roger goes to the gym on a regular basis. What he calls a workout rarely involves much work. His cowisthenics usually involve hoofing it to the closest vending machine for an “energy” drink and “health” bar. On a really energetic visit he might be moooved to join a short basketball game, take a quick shower and herd for the donut shop on his way home to replenish all those expended carbs. Etymology: cow (a mature bovine) + calisthenics (gymnastic exercises designed to develop physical health and vigor) Created by: artr.
