Pronunciation: dee CELL er ate

Sentence: Meetings with my boss are a giant pain in the neck and take way too long, because he always manages to decellerate the meeting at least once by answering his cell phone while we are meeting. And everyone is trapped just sitting there because he does the "wait a minute sign" with his index finger throughout the call. Sometimes he even decellerates things further by placing a call and then holding a three-way phone conversation about other business!

Etymology: cell + decelerate

Pronunciation: Sslut

Sentence: Ferdinand had impeccable table manners, he held the door open for old ladies crossing the street and even coughed to mask his flatulence, however when it came to mobile communication his etiquette was in the gutter. At the merest quiver of his cellular telephone, regardless of how deep in conversation he was in with the esteemed friend or colleague right in front of him he pounced on his oral interaction device and started gabbling frivolous nonsense. He was without doubt a most terrible cellut.

Etymology: Cell+Slut = Cellut
