Maisonfrictionline<\/strong>: \/may-zon-frik-shun-line<\/em>\/ In every neighbourhood there is something known as the maisonfrictionline, a forcefield between properties, rife with petty territorial imperatives. Etymology:<\/em> maison (French for house) + friction + play on the Mason Dixon line Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

Vexdoorneighbours<\/strong>: \/Vex-dor-nay-bers<\/em>\/ Whenever Sally and Jim were in close proximity of each other they became vexdoorneigbours. They had to be separated at all times. Their mother put it down to a touch of sibling rivalry but the plain truth was they actually couldn’t stand the sight of each other. Etymology:<\/em> Vex(annoy,make angry) + Neighbours (persons or place in relation to others next to it) See Next door neighbours Created by:<\/em> TJayzz.<\/p>\n

Proxenemy<\/strong>: \/procks-n-m-e<\/em>\/ My sister and I ceased to be proxenemies in our teens when we moved into a bigger house and got separate bedrooms. Etymology:<\/em> proximity (closeness) + enemy (opposite of friend) Created by:<\/em> petaj.<\/p>\n

Cheekbygrowl<\/strong>: \/ch\u00c4\u201ckbigroul<\/em>\/ The Murphys bought a minivan. Now their 5 children would not have to be packed in cheekbygrowl when they all traveled together. That’s not to say they couldn’t find other reasons squabble. Etymology:<\/em> cheek by jowl (close together; side by side) + growl (a low guttural sound of hostility in the throat) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
