Created by: Banky

Pronunciation: byoo-cowsk-e-gramm

Sentence: Trent hoped that picture his college roommate had sent him was in fact a close-up of a sphinx cat kitten, or maybe an out-of-focus shar pei. It was wishful thinking on his behalf, though, as he had been e-bagged in a Bukowskegram.

Etymology: Bukowski - Charles Bukowski, famous alcohol loving author, e - as in electronic/email, gram - from telegram

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

In hindsight, Bukowskemail would flow a little better, but I like the old fashioned quaintness of gram along with Chuck. - Banky, 2008-01-31: 11:02:00

love the literary reference - Jabberwocky, 2008-01-31: 12:00:00

Shotmail

libertybelle

Created by: libertybelle

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.

With just one letter addition you created a perfect fit for the definition. It's difficult to meld two words into a new one with just 1 letter! Great Create! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:52:00

Sloshoeuvre

metrohumanx

Created by: metrohumanx

Pronunciation: slosh-OO-vre.....(akin to slosh over)

Sentence: Jarhead didn't have a drinking problem. Like so many unfortunates, he simply "sucked at life". A prolific writer as well as an olympic-class drinker, all his talents seemed to merge one tragic evening as his creative thoughts began to SLOSHOEUVRE. The meniscus of his mind began to decant delerious declarations which he hastily posted to...who knows where? Jarhead began to communiquart with everyone who had ever wronged him just before he puked into his keyboard. His writings had a certain claret-y which was apparent only from his side of the bacchanalian veil which slowly descended as the evening wore on. After several bottles of "Old Verbotomy" (aged at least a week), he began typing in some indecipherable code, which was probably for the best, because his enraged friends broke down the door and used a handtruck to get him into detox just before his liver failed. Now he admits he's powerless over alcohol, and Jarhead is the most popular speaker at the 12 Step House, next to the train tracks in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Etymology: SLOSH+OEUVRE=SLOSHOEUVRE.....SLOSH:The tendency of a liquid to move back and forth, often in a nauseating manner;blend of slop and slush (c.1814).....OEUVRE:a substantial body of work constituting the lifework of a writer, an artist, or a poet often composed while inebriated;French œuvre, literally, work, from Old French ovre.

Great word in a very funny sentence that evokes images of co-workers might have gone on to grin and bare it! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:27:00

left the word 'that' out between co-worked and might. Aplogies to all! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:28:00

blew it again ... but you get the gist of it. Freudian typos are plaguing me today! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:29:00
