Armagettin<\/strong>: \/\u00c3\u00a4rm\u00c9\u2122getn<\/em>\/ Earth End, Inc. is armagettin it while they can. Their \u00e2\u20ac\u009dRepent now. Pay less later\u00e2\u20ac\u009d t-shirts have done well but their best seller by far has been the fire-and-brimstone-proof cash box. Etymology:<\/em> armageddon (the last battle between good and evil) + getting (acquiring) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Purseerveer<\/strong>: \/poors seer veer<\/em>\/ There’s always been a company who can purseerveer through the doom. Prudential Insurance was around when Noah built the Ark. They sold him flood insurance, boat insurance, travel insurance,livestock insurance and pet medical insurance. Why do you think they have a rock on their logo? It’s not the Rock of Gibralter, but Mount Ararat. There was a good faith clause in their policy. Etymology:<\/em> Purse (A sum of Money) & Seer (an authoritative person who divines the future; a person with unusual powers of foresight) & Veer (a general direction in which something tends to move)and Wordplay on Persevere (be persistent, refuse to stop)<\/p>\n

Harbingainer<\/strong>: \/ha-bin-gain-er<\/em>\/ Reverend Wilkes found that donations to the collection tray generally increased after his more doom-laden sermons. He was wary of being seen as a harbingainer, but the way he saw it more funds to mend the church roof was hardly proheteering \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it was to the benefit of his entire flock, after all. Etymology:<\/em> harbinger (a thing which tells of the onset of something) + gain (to obtain to one’s advantage) Created by:<\/em> CharlieB.<\/p>\n

Greensleeveen<\/strong>: \/greeeen sleeeee veeeeeen<\/em>\/ This greensleeveen was a small smooth adorable ecothief, more a laprachaun than a leprachaun with a great line in blarney and the morals of a whore. Etymology:<\/em> green sleeveen (Irish; a sly obsequious smooth-tongued person
\n[from Irish Gaelic sl\u00c3\u00adbh\u00c3\u00adn]
\n:It isn’t any wonder at all that a child would be a liar and a sleeveen and a trampler of the roads with the first man that nods to her when her mother is a foolish person that she can’t trust.
