Shorten a multisyllable word to form a new, annoying, monosyllable nonce word |

Examples:
Pizza ==> 'za.
Gonads==>'nads.
Synergy==>'gy.
Ignore==>'gnore.
Your turn!

Reminds me that "stuffed" has a different meaning in England too. A young woman can raise eyebrows announcing she got stuffed in the kitchen.
