And the winner is ...
Hyperception!
Hyperception's entry was not only clever, but he picked two words which are famous for being [over]used by Donaldson, which was sort of what I was going for. Probabably the famousest words of all. Verdurebrous gets the Miss Congeniality - it really should be a word. And succubut gets an honorable mention for me not believing Donaldson had ever used the word "sackbut" ever but then finding out that he did.

Congratulations, Hyperception! Well played, especially the "use in a sentence" extra layer of humor.
