Fretubrute
Created by: doseydotes
Pronunciation: ˈfret-ˈtü-ˈbrü-ˈte
Sentence: Celia rushed home at night, anxious to see her three cats. They were friends to her like no one else; they always listened to her worries with what was apparent sympathy. They were calm and patient and loving, just like she wished her human friends could be. She had taken to talking to them from the minute she got up – even while she was in the shower - because she knew they’d be alone all day, lost without her. At the last possible minute, when she had just barely enough time to make it to work, she left. As soon as the door closed, one of the male cats always turned to the other one and rolled his eyes. “I know. I know,” the second cat would always say (it had turned into a running joke between them) “what a freakin’ fretubrute.”
Etymology: From the Transylvanian, fret, a diminutive of Frederick; from the LeHigh, tu bru, meaning literally "please bring me a couple of bottles of whatever tasty fermented starch-based hop-flavored beverage is most readily available"; and from the Buckwheat, te, an abbreviated version of "otay," meaning "everything is going to be just fine, sir."

Verteprate
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: virt ta prayt
Sentence: Helen could communicate with all animals. Her ability to verteprate came at an early age and served her well to interrogate the pets of crime victims, perepetrators and witnesses, as a special service to the police. It was amazing what we do and say in front of our pets because we think they won't talk. But Helen could get pets to verify alibis, deny stories and defeat many a criminal in his illegal ways. Pets told no lies nor harboured any ulterior motives for their statements. Helen only wished her gift worked on her 13 year old son, but alas that is not the way life goes!
Etymology: Vertebrate (animal having a having a bony or cartilaginous skeleton with a segmented spinal column and a large brain enclosed in a skull or cranium) & Prate ( idle or foolish and irrelevant talk; speak (about unimportant matters) rapidly and incessantly)
