Matrimonologue
Created by: Banky
Pronunciation: matt-trih-mohn-o-log
Sentence: When Jenna's husband would begin a droning matrimonologue about the good old days in the frat house in college, she would escape through the back door in her mind. Today she found herself in the middle of the Caribbean aboard a pirate ship, with Captain Fabio, who proceeded to use his "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray" in the most debaucherous of manners. Oddly enough, her husband was having a very similar fantasy, but with substantially more Greek-letter-inscribed paddling.
Etymology: matrimony + monologue

luv the word! Palamute listened so pleasantly like a dog would, wondering if related to a malamute. - silveryaspen, 2008-12-04: 12:49:00
I guess Donna was doggedly persistent. - metrohumanx, 2008-12-04: 16:21:00

Uniblatheral
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: yoōnə-blathər-əl
Sentence: Joan and Jane are best of friends. Theirs is a perfect uniblatheral relationship. Joan has BMW disorder (bitch, moan, whine) if there is a topic to be discussed, she has an issue with some part of it. Jane is a one-person support group. Through numerous years of vigorous training she has developed the ability to listen without really hearing and nod at appropriate moments. That way her expression never gives it away when one of Joan's tirades is a repeat, as so many of them are.
Etymology: unilateral (performed by or affecting only one person) + blather (talk long-windedly without making very much sense)

Moanalogue
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: mown a log
Sentence: Tigger knew that when Rosie started one of her moanalogues, that it would be as useless as trying to run the wrong-way down a one way street to escape her endless prattle. He might as well curl up to his narrated version of War And Peace to pass some of the time.

----------------------------
COMMENTS:
Great word Nosila! I was a little surprized to have made an appearance in your sentence though... Hmm, do I know anyone named 'Rosie'? - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 00:44:00
Cheers, Tigger...did not realize until after I posted it there were two of you...my friend's cat looks just like that one in cartoon and that's his name. - Nosila, 2008-02-12: 00:51:00
Great word Nosila! I was a little surprized to have made an appearance in your sentence though... Hmm, do I know anyone named 'Rosie'? - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:23:00
Oh, I see now. Rosie must be that lady that feeds me and prattles on and on about her own life. I usually just call her 'Dear' (as in "Yes, Dear"). - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:28:00
(Now how did that 1st comment post again? Oops.) - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:30:00

Solomeo
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: sōlōmēō
Sentence: Once the words **Let me tell you** slipped past Sally*s lips, Edward knew it was going to be a solomeo evening. It didn*t matter if he had seen the Queen of England or if he had been hit by a bus. His job for the duration of the night was to nod reassuringly and interject phrases like **I know what you mean** or **That*s terrible**. Three hours later his mind was numb and his neck sore from nodding, all this because some clerk **looked at her funny**. His story about seeing a **queen** from England getting hit by a bus would just have to wait.
Etymology: solo (a thing done by one person unaccompanied) + (used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself as the object of a verb or preposition) a play on *O Solo Mia - a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898
