Verboticisms

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /LUST-bus-ter/

Sentence: Nothing could spoil the mood like Andrea's dog, Fang. Like a true 'lustbuster' he had an uncanny ability to sense a sexual advance coming on — Todd didn't even have to make a move toward her — all he had to do was just think about putting an arm around Andrea, and the flea-bitten cur would lift his head and start snarling at him.

Etymology: lust - intense sexual desire or appetite (Old Norse, lyst "desire") + buster - a person who breaks up something (Origin: 1825–35, Americanism; bust & -er)

Simple but effective. - ErWenn, 2008-02-13: 10:13:00

Haven't we seen this before for a different definition? It's so good, twice is nice! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:04:00

Nice word. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 17:06:00

Doggone, Todd! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 19:36:00

I didn't recall it being used here before silveryaspen, but if it was I apologize. I was thinking of rhyming the word 'lust' and 'bust' and thought it kinda sounded like 'dustbuster'. - Tigger, 2008-02-14: 00:30:00

Apologies to Stevenson0 — he submitted 'Lustbust' for a similar definition in January. It must've been stuck in the back of my head... it was such a good word. - Tigger, 2008-02-21: 02:20:00

Pronunciation: /ˈmeɪdṇˌfɛns/

Sentence: Even though her parents were out of town, her obnoxious nudgwink of a little brother kept making lewd comments every time I even looked at her, and that was enough of a maidenfence to keep me from even thinking about any hanky-panky.

Etymology: from maiden(head) + fence. Kinda looks like it has "defense" in there too.

K/nightly sword play! (fencing) Evokes the romaticism of a past age of chivalry. Very nice verbot! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:09:00

Pronunciation: rome/nee/no

Sentence: Juliet's father was a real romekneeno. Everytime an errant hand slid past her knee, he chopped it off.

Etymology: romeo + rome + knee + no

----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Every word in your etymology is so well chosen ... with romeo and knee topping the other two. Knees can be a turn on ... but alas ... they can also be a painful turn-off ... incorporating it into your verbot makes it so powerful! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-13: 13:21:00

Pronunciation: four-nih-cay-shun

Sentence: Pastor Ted, pad and pen in hand, began to outline his homily for the next day's assembly of ChastiKids from across the country. He planned to start out by detailing all of the benefits of fornicashun. "To say "noitus" to coitus is to respect ones body and give praise to the Lord. Avoiding the mortal sin of lust will prevent you from contracting the many rashes of Satan..." Ted was interrupted as the ink on the paper bloomed into a dark carnation as the prostitutes in his hotel room hot tub started a water fight. There would be time to work on this later, so Ted grabbed his ball-gag and riding crop and intentionally perverted the term "water polo".

Etymology: fornication + shun

It just flows so nicely. - picabomama, 2008-02-13: 13:07:00

Seems like they're about to see Teddy bare! Still thinking about why we choose to name a character in our sentences, "TED." ???? - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-13: 16:58:00

You're a fantastic story writer! - purpleartichokes, 2008-02-13: 19:11:00
