    You can look at the site for actual definitions or just pick one of these and make up your own:

    Soothfest
    Erotographomania
    Mammothrapt
    Ganch
    Keelivine
    Whisternefet
    Diversivolent
    Lasslorn
    Palpebrate
    Epicaricacy
    Absqualtulate
    Widdershins
    Fussock
    Elumbated


    Not that this would actually happen, but for example: IJAG delivered a whisternefet to Amy after Amy expressed epicaricacy when Toby showed no interest in IJAG.

    Who's Toby and why does he get all the chicks?

    Widdershins would have made Luongo a better goalie.

    Ganch just sounds dirty, don't know what it means but I like it.

    I was going to fussock this chick when she palpebrated. I was elumbated. Luckily she had a twin sister with nice mammothrapts.

    One time this guy threw at ganch at my widershins, and I started to palpebrate. A young lasslorn saw the whole thing, and rushed me to see an epicaricacy, who immediately performed a mammothrapt. That didn't help, so we elumbated my fussock and hunkered down for a daylong soothfest at the nearest keelivine. After a while, a woman suffering from erotographomania joined us, and she began to absqualtulate hysterically. Despite our best attempts to sooth the woman with ambient whisternefet techniques, she went off into a diversivolent fit.

    Bob went up to his parents' attic and perused his collection of erotographomania.

    He was feeling a little lasslorn.

    TOBY WOULD TOTALLY SHOW INTEREST IN ME.

    Go palpebrate yourself, Amy.

    I said "not that this would actually happen." After all, it's not like you're a fussock.

    Fussock in that usage sounds like it could be Yiddish.
