Fie! While drifting off to sleep last night I realized, with a great and tragedious sigh, that Cymrupoeia does not, in fact, serve the purpose of this thread, as it contains the vowels E and I in their proper, alphabetical order. In atonement for this blunderous oversight, I offer the following words:
Zymurgopithecans (noun): in a dystopian Planet of the Apes-type future, members of the beer-brewing profession.
Dysfluoridental (noun): a treatment intended to counteract the fluoride rinses given as part of a standard dental prophylaxis and cleaning.
