karenanne

Created by: karenanne

Pronunciation: JEH louse

Sentence: Lydia couldn't take it anymore. If she answered her cellphone, Mark would be right there, obviously listening to her side of the conversation. If she didn't take the call, he would "casually" say, "Hmmm... I wonder who was calling?" He would pretend to be doing tasks nearby whenever she was on e-mail, but she knew he was really trying to read over her shoulder. For a while she had thought his possessiveness was sweet, but now she realized he was just a jealouse. It was the same age-old story, except now with technology added.

Etymology: jealous + louse

Amogarchy

Created by: ErWenn

Pronunciation: /ˌæməˈɡɑɹki/

Sentence: We told him that his significant smother wasn't really controlling enough to constitute an amogarchy, but it was just a foma.

Etymology: from amo- (romantic love) and -archy (government)

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

Significant smother works better than amogarchy, which I'd have as "a system of rule by lovers"- a truly scary notion. Still, the sentence alone is worth a vote. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-17: 13:17:00

Thanks, and I agree that "significant smother" is better, but I never like having to cram two-word terms into a one-word entry. - ErWenn, 2007-04-17: 14:05:00

Subjudater

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: sub joo day ter

Sentence: Francine was definitely a subjudater when it came to men. She would chase them until they caught her and then like a superpower invading a weaker country, she would overthrow their free will and declare them as one of her possessions. Men were helpless in bending to her will and surrendering their arms (and legs and brains and freedom of choice). Once she had captured them, she would raid their treasuries, embargo their contact with other females and enjoy watching them shrivel into spineless, needy lovesick shells. Once the thrill of the hunt faded for her, she would move on and go in pursuit of new territories to conquer. Yes, Francine was Plunder Woman; one of the Pillage People; A Raidy Lady; A Booty School Dropout;A Cuter Looter; The Liking Viking; Felon of Troy;A Brigand Teen; An In-laws Outlaw; A Raidin' Maiden; A Passion Pirate Queen...Just lock up your menfolk!

Etymology: subjugate(make subservient; force to submit or subdue or bring under bondage)& subdue(suppress or hold within limits and control)& dater (a person who has a steady social or love relationship with another)
