A classic Intanguinee word: Podiatrate
Austin and I invented/discovered this word ages ago when he was engaging in the activity it describes. I don't think it was on purpose, though.
Podiatrate
Pronunciation: p&-'dI-&-trAt
Fuction: verb
Inflected Form(s): -ing; -ed
Origin: Formed from pod, the Greek for "foot," and violate, meaning "to do harm to the person or especially the chastity of" (definitions taken from Merriam-Webster OnLine). Also possible etymological influences explaning the presence of the "r" in the final syllable: podiatry, penetrate, perpetrate.
1 : to attempt to play footsie with another person against his/her will.
Also:
-podiatration noun
