Words that should be in the dikshunerry

My walk home from the station takes me past a brothel. At least I am pretty sure it's a brothel for the following reasons:
  • there's no signage, just a number
  • as I'm often getting home later than the typical commuter mug, it is noticeable that a lot of cars are parked outside when no other cars are around and all other buildings are shut
  • I frequently observe pairs of men exiting and entering the building (why do they go in pairs??)
  • I've sometimes seen a clutch of young women leaving the building early in the morning, apparently knocking off their shift

The ATM next door must be the busiest one in the inner west...

Anyway, the brothel has inspired my first submisson for "words that should be in the dikshunerry":

brotheliser. n. a random breath testing device to determine whether your husband/partner/boyfriend has been visiting hookers.

I do have to acknowledge though, that when I suggested this to Andy, he came up with a (probably) better definition:

brotheliser. n. a random breath testing device to determine whether you are drunk enough to visit a brothel.

What do you reckon? Is my boyfriend wittier than me? Choose carefully.
