Inaccurate sentences

Post by Rudi »

Out of these sentences below, which two are inaccurate (out of context from the meaning of the key word).

1. Man! Look at the wonderful quatopygia going on back there!
2. They are both working so hard to edulcorate their relationship.
3. Sometimes I wonder if we could put our tittynopes to better use.
4. Nowadays things that pop and puff have replaced the proper jentacular offerings of bacon and eggs.
5. She refused to impignorate anything for the support of her hungry children.
6. She affected to be spunky about her ailments but she was in fact an utterly self-centered valetudinarian.
7. The nudiustertain lunch at the canteen, was equally appetizing as the lunch three days ago.
8. The dog fininshed its treat with typical xertz behaviour.
Regards,
Rudi

I might have said it should be here egoPhone number; but because she is a psychiatrist, I'm certain it must be a superegoPhone.

I'm afraid I had no idea whatsoever about any of the 'exotic' words except for edulcorate...
Best wishes,

After completing a jentacular repast of tittynopes, I treated my valetudinarian tendencies to a walk in the park where I experienced rather invigorating quatopygia among young lasses and returned home to edulcorate my soul; but, alas, there was no solution that would accomplish the task; so I returned to nudiustertain activity seeking xertz.

:rofl: :rofl: I'd give an arm and a leg to see your invigorating quatopygia among young lasses!

10 out of 10 for the use of several 'exotic' words in one comprehensive sentence :chocciebar:
