Funkomfortable: /fung-kumft-er-bul/ Vicky’s birthday wasn’t getting any better. The day had suddenly turned unseasonably warm, then her dog got loose and she’d had to chase him for 20 minutes before catching him. On top of that, her car’s air conditioning stopped working. By the time she got home, she just wanted to take a nice, cool bath. She’d opened the door to a surprise party, and now all of her friends wanted to give her a big hug. She was so funkomfortable! Etymology: Funk – a strong unpleasant odor (slang) & Uncomfortable – awkward or uneasy Created by: Tigger.

Funkredible word…Welcome back, Tigger! We’ve missed you.
Halitosies: /halitÅzÄ“z/ Because of his severe case of halitosies, Brian was the only member of the Scout Troop granted permission to remove his boots after an extended hiking trip and hang his feet out the car window. The permission was almost rescinded when it was discovered that people in the next car were close to passing out and that the car*s paint was peeling. Order was restored once Brian*s transport was repositioned at the rear of the caravan. Etymology: halitosis (technical term for bad breath) + tosies (a childish word for the five digits at the end of the human foot) Created by: artr.

perfect word for the definition!
Sweathreat: /swet thret/ “Dang it”, said the Lone Ranger. “I knew I should have never worn these fancy new boots to my faithful companion Tonto’s party. They make my feet so hot that I am afraid of being a sweathreat to everyone there!”
It was too late to turn Silver around and go home, so the Masked Man went up and knocked at the flap of Tonto’s teepee. His anxiety evaporated when Tonto bade him enter and told him to remove his boots and be comfortable. When he hesitated, Tonto knew what was wrong right away (he had that esp thingy going) and said, “Don’t worry about your feet,Kimo Sabe, because this is a Sweat Lodge anyway!” The Lone Ranger laughed and relaxed until Tonto said, “Besides it’s only the two of us tonight…” Etymology: Sweat (perspiration, body odour) & Threat (a warning that something unpleasant is imminent) Created by: Nosila.
