Pronunciation: paləsīt

Sentence: Sometimes being a nice guy has its drawbacks. It can entice palasites. I know that sounds like some kind of royal gemstone but is is really a royal pain. Palasites are socially-inept people (dorks) who have decided you are their friend for something as simple as calling them by their given name instead of the commonly-adopted moniker of **Get away from me, you idiot**. You thought you were done with them when you graduated high school but now he found you on Facebook. Ignore! Ignore! Ignore!

Etymology: pal (friend) + (an organism that lives in or on another organism [its host] and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host*s expense)

Pronunciation: lak kwayn tans

Sentence: When Cyndi went to her high school reunion, she still dressed in her best 80's attire. Of course everyone else had dressed in modern day fashions, including the guy she always had a crush on...Seymour Modes. Seymour was now a Magazine Editor and tres moderne! As she later told her geeky friends who were too scared to go to the reunion, she and Seymour had a relationship whereby they were each's lackquaintance. As the night and free booze wore on, they found a cozy corner to re-lackquaint themselves. Luckily it worked out for them. They are now an item and she writes a great retro column for his magazine and he dresses more and more with an eighties influence. Their acquaintenceship no longer lacks anything!

Etymology: Lack ( the state of needing something that is absent or unavailable; be without) & Acquaintance (a relationship less intimate than friendship;personal knowledge or information about someone or something)
