pronounced "s/niece" - Stevenson0, 2007-04-12: 07:50:00

Niece? What about tease? I voted for it because I though it was a combo of sneeze and tease. That would perfectly capture the meaning. - lauramy, 2007-04-12: 15:18:00

Pronunciation: ah-shoot

Sentence: Melody was deep in conversation with Cliff when she saw his expression change. Nose crinkling up. Brows furrowed. Upper lip in a sneer. When Cliff began the rapid intake of breath, Melody braced herself for a killer sneeze, all the while wondering why he didn't have the decency to bury his shnoz in his elbow. After the most protracted build-up she could remember, Cliff threw his head back and....and...and...nothing. With a big "ahhshoot" Cliff returned to a conversation that Melody had long since checked out of.

Etymology: Achoo modified to include "shoot" as in expressing frustration.
