Pronunciation: bluff - a - no - wings

Sentence: Marcy was ecstatic. She had finally talked John into giving her his secret recipe for Buffalo wings. It had taken months of wrangling and cajoling but, here it was...neatly written on a 3x5 index card. John made the best Buffalo Wings she had ever had. They were just the right amount of zip, crunch, meat and bones. Every morsel was a bite to be savored. What she was not aware of was that she really had his receipe for Bluffanowings. As she read through the recipe, and imagined herself making them for the first time, she wondered to herself "how does he make them look like wings?"

Etymology: The word Bluff (to mislead or deceive) is combined with Buffalo (as in Buffalo Wings) to start the word. After Bluff, the last part of Buffalo is replaced with ano which is a combination of the word And and No. Finally, the last part of BuffaloWings is added with "Wings". The whole thing is just a play on the popular appetizer....but with no Wings.

Pronunciation: Miss -ee - Mess - uh - pees

Sentence: The young maid decided to make a magic brew, a love potion number two ... to use on you! From the oysterman she took a single oyster crab, because her magic book of recipes, called for just a dab. After letting it set in chocolate sauce overknight, by morning, it was ready ... just seemed so right! But she forgot the incantation that it required, also. Without the chant ... unenchanted ... his love would never grow! So he remained maidless ... due to her missing word link! Those missedoutrecipes, are not worth a zip to drink. "Nun for me!" ... we say to those Missymessypees!

Etymology: (1) Missy - for the missing part. Messy - to describe what it makes. Pees for the last sillybull (pun intended) of recipes! (2) Miss is synonmous with maid as well ... and missy, is what men do when the maid is gone ... and messy they become, when the maid is gone! (3) Too many double (maybe triple) meanings in lots of this ... so feel free to write your own etymologies for those you see!

Pronunciation: rong kok shun

Sentence: No one could figure out why Marianne made the best chili in the family. When they tried to copy her old family recipe, it never tasted the same. One day her nephew Charlie, a criminalogical forensic chemist, decided to analyze the ingredients in a batch she had made. When he compared it to the recipe she had given him it was no wonder he kept making a wrongcoction. There was no evidence of beef, tomato, beans or known spices in the original recipe. To this day, her wrongcoction remains an unsolved mystery to Charlie.

Etymology: Wrong (not in accord with established usage or procedure) & Concoction (any foodstuff made by combining different ingredients;the act of creating something (a medicine or drink or soup etc.) by compounding or mixing a variety of components)
