Goldenize<\/strong>: \/g\u00c5\u008dld\u00c9\u2122n\u00c4\u00abz<\/em>\/ When Ron saw an ad from his vet offering to goldenize his dog he was intrigued. Control his dog\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s barking? That sounded great. When he found out that it involved cutting the vocal cords he was stunned. Etymology:<\/em> golden (very favorable) + ize (suffix forming verbs) because \u00e2\u20ac\u009dsilence is golden\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Larynicks<\/strong>: \/lari nix<\/em>\/ Fred had a smart, but yappy dog called Larry. So when Fred wanted to talk in front of Larry, he used pig-latin (or as he called it dog-latin). Fred told his wife he was taking Larry in the ar-cay to the eterinarian-vay, to ix-nay his larynicks and to have him eutered-nay. Poor Larry, after the operation, he lost his mojo and couldn”t tell anyone about it! Etymology:<\/em> Larynx (a cartilaginous structure at the top of the trachea; contains elastic vocal cords that are the source of the vocal tone in speech) & Nicks (cuts;cut slightly, with a razor) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Yapotomy<\/strong>: \/yap-o-t\u00c9\u2122-mi<\/em>\/ After a week of mournful looks and silence from Fido, Mrs Smythe strongly suspected her neighbour had kidnapped the poor pooch in the night and performed a yapotomy.
\n Etymology:<\/em> yap (of a small dog \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to bark constantly) + -tomy (surgical incision) Created by:<\/em> CharlieB.<\/p>\n

Unchordinate<\/strong>: \/un kord in ayt<\/em>\/ Puddles, next door, was a quiet dog since the operation. Jeff secretly wished somebody would unchordinate its owner in a similar manner. Etymology:<\/em> un (to negate) + chord (as in vocal chord) + ate (to cause or to act upon) Created by:<\/em> jonzerofourteen.<\/p>\n
