This had me puzzled for a bit, but 'Neo' means new, and 'Oprene' pertains to the opera, so Neoprene must be some kind of modern, perhaps avant-garde opera.
You sure got me there! 'Cos I thought it meant:

neoprene: a very vain Keanu Reeves lookalike



flosculation: the process of treating sewage using a dental hygiene product



rambunctious

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Borborygmus

I found this one really difficult. I thought it might be one of those sticky bogey's that come in handy when out of glue. But eventually had to go to my trusty, Brittanica Encyclopedica, which had the following redefinition as:
borborygmus squidger, Brittney Spears
