Could geerbloggle also be a Spoonerism of sorts on your words of beer, blog, goggle ... and maybe even the end of the word bottle as in beer bottle? I like it. Very creative ... and we don't see very many spoonerisms here. You might just have inspired more! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:37:00

Communenebreation
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: kom myun ee nee bree ayshun
Sentence: Bud Nonweiser had a deadline for 6 am and a love of hops in their liquid form. He had already written many draftbeerdrafts of his report for work, but the more he drank, the worse his editing and decision making skills became. After a brief doze, face imprinted with his keyboard, he decided that his current drafts (both the beer and the report) were tasty and refreshing. His boss, Pete Totaller, must have understood that a report e-mailed off at 4:20 am, making no sense and in an alternate form of English must be a form of communenebreation. He decided quickly that this Bud's not for you and e-mailed him back his severance notice.
Etymology: Communication (transfer thoughts or feelings) & Inebreation (stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol) & en-e-breation (electronically intoxicated)

Pronunciation: shaht-mayl
Sentence: It was utterly clear to Bonnie that her ex-husband was sending out emails from his shotmail account last night as she waded through his misspellings proclaiming that he was so sorry they ever split up and that he was sorry that she was such a bitch to him. She didn't know it was possible to slur in text, but somehow Phil had captured the essence of what he had found in the bottom of the bottle of Johnnie Walker. She supposed, however, that it still beat him drunk dialing her at 3 am.
Etymology: shot - a small portion of liquor + Hotmail - a well known site for email.

Outstanding. I also like the subtext of the "derring" in there, as it is a heroicly daring prospect to email the company while soused. - Banky, 2008-01-31: 11:04:00
I liked the derring do in your Topless Tuesdays! That might cause a flap in more ways than one! - silveryaspen, 2008-01-31: 11:44:00
