Pronunciation: Swop-slop

Sentence: When Peter discovered what his wife had packed him for lunch, he let out a huge sigh. He realised that she had been trying out her new recipes on him again and this time had surpassed herself by creating some inedible looking mess that could not be identified. He then had the brilliant idea of going to office fridge and proceeded to swapslop his lunch for something that resembled food. No-one would ever guess it was him as long as he kept his mouth shut.

Etymology: Swap(an act of exchanging one thing for another) + Slop(unappetizing semi-liquid food) = Swapslop

Pronunciation: pil-frij

Sentence: Ralph didn't believe that what he did should be classified as pilfridge. He observed on a daily basis that people rarely ate all that they brought for lunch. He considered it below his status to pick through the trash after they tossed the remnants so preemptive raids only made sense. Sally certainly didn't NEED that big chunk of cheesecake. He was doing her a favor by shaving it down to a reasonable size.

Etymology: pilfer (steal - typically things of relatively little value) + fridge (a refrigerator) Derivative of pilferage
