Dreadicure: /dred-i-cure/ Jim had no clue how disgusting it was each time he brought out his “man bag” and started with his monthly dreadicure right there in the living room.

Jettamindtrick: /Jet-a-mind-trik/ Amalia was a pro at the Jettamindtrick. She knew that, with the magical power of her car and her superior mind, she could persuade other drivers at a four-way stop that she was there first, she could merge across four lanes of traffic at rush hour and yes, she could get a leading green arrow even as the only car in the turn lane. Sadly, however, she over-reached her “powers” when she tried to silently dissuade a state trooper from giving her a speeding ticket. After seeing her make odd, painful looking facial contortions at him, the trooper not only wrote her a ticket, he had her take a road side sobriety test as well.

Interfret: /in-ter-fret/ Having spotted Tiffany’s email on Loretta’s Blackberry while she got up to get her Latte, Josh made a point to memorize it. Tiffany was the girl of his dreams, though to her he didn’t exist.
Later that night while on the computer, just to see what it felt like, he put in her email addy and began typing as if they had just spent the most passionate evening together. He got so into it that when done, instead of hitting the X to delete, he hit SEND out of habit! He went into instant interfret, began sweating profusely and decided he would claim it was just an assignment due in his psychology class, and thank Tiffany for helping him with his grade. Her “reaction of disgust” “was just the A” he was “looking for,” he said in response to her disgusted email. Etymology: internet + fret Created by: lumina.

Coincidentally, as he was in the throes of his interfret, Tiffany entered the coffee shop, engaged with her Blackberry. Josh’s seat became a puddle of sweat. She took him by the arm and walked to the back of the shop, where the restrooms were located, and for the next five minutes strange sounds emanated from that region.

As the minutes crawled ominously by, Petula was seized by a sudden GRIPESNIPERR….perhaps she was being too hard on the “Beav”- he was only waiting tables to pay off that AK-47 he brought from his homeland.

Inhailstorm: /in hayle storm/ Being with Eddie was like always being in an inhailstorm. This was because he had to compulsively sniff at each and everything, just to ensure it had not gone off. One could easily testify that the only thing that had ever “gone off” was Eddie himself. Once a gifted wine “nose” and then a gifted perfume “nose”, Eddie had smelltered himself to the situation where people only called upon him if their carbon monoxide detectors failed or they suspected a gas leak. Yes, Eddie had stuck his nose in one too many places and now was facing a de-scent into madness!
