Fauxppreciate<\/strong>: \/fo preesh ee ayt<\/em>\/ At the annual Office Christmas party, the theme was the Twelve Days of Christmas. When the gift exchange happened there was much laughter and mirth, as gifts representing the theme were opened. Maisie waited excitedly for her turn. She had seen 2 turtle doves as boxes of Turtles and Dove chocolate candy;4 calling birds were 4 calling cards; 6 geese-a-laying as 6 bottles of Grey Goose Vodka, laying on their sides. Hoping for 5 golden rings or 10 lords a leaping, she had to fauxppreciate her own gift when drawn. It was 7 swines a-grinning…7 little plastic pigs wearing big smiles. Oh well, she could save them for Hogmanay. Etymology:<\/em> Faux (not genuine or real) & Appreciate (recognize with gratitude; be grateful for) Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve in Scotland) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Shamwowiezowie<\/strong>: \/sham-wow-ee-zow-ee<\/em>\/ “Shamwowiezowie!” cried Marta when she opened the box. She was hoping for a ring this year but when she opened her gift from Ralph she found a ShamWow (as seen on TV). Through her teeth, she managed to thank him and convince him that she had been wanting one ever since she saw the commercial. Though her lips said, “Thanks,” her mind said, “You’ll be gone by New Year’s, Buster!” Etymology:<\/em> sham: making deceitful pretenses; fakery + wowie zowie: an exclamation of amazement and joy, often said sarcastically; 1966 track by Frank Zappa “Wowie Zowie, baby, your love’s a treat” the song was done tongue in cheek as a parody of many of the teen love songs of the time Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Joyfaux<\/strong>: \/joif\u00c5\u008d<\/em>\/ Loving animals as she did and growing up in a family of hunters, Beth found holidays to be a joyfaux time. She would plaster on her best mock smile and listen to the tales of relatives tramping through the woods trying to kill what she cherished. This year she managed to bust out a real smile as she when she opened a present from her parents of a jacket with a faux-fur collar. **Couldn*t afford the real stuff** muttered her father. HURRAY FOR THE RECESSION! Etymology:<\/em> joyful (feeling, expressing, or causing great pleasure and happiness) + faux (artificial or imitation; false) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
