Pronunciation: lak waint

Sentence: After 20 years out of school, Dick decided to lackquaint himself with the people in his senior year. What on earth made him think that two decades would erase their memories of him? He had been Treasurer of the Chess Club, Ping-pong champion semi-finalist,Audio-Visual Co-ordinator, President of the Star Trek Fan Club, Secretary of the Slide-Rule Club and First-Aider Team Member. He had honors in Math, Science, Physics and Algebra, but had flunked Social Dance, Poetry Writing and Personal Hygiene & Development Class. Dick had not been popular at school, surprising considering his many achievements,and had no dates. He had had a crush on a cute redhead called Ruth, who was of course, a cheerleader, star of the school's musical production of "Bye, Bye, Birdie", drum majorette and President of the Future Stewardesses Club. If she knew Dick was alive or remotely interested, she never let on. She had later married the school football team's quarterback,Ned and lived the suburban dream. When the 20 year reunion day arrived, Dick was excited to meet all his old "friends" from high school and lackquaint himself again with them all, including Ruth. Arriving at the school's gaily decorated gymnasium, he was astounded to see that many had aged, the years had added pounds on everyone and bald or greying heads on paunchy men prevailed. One of these men was Ned and Dick was disturbed to learn that Ruth had left Ned after two years and three kids to run off and be a showgirl in Las Vegas. Yes, that reunion for Dick had been a Ruth-less one!

Etymology: lack (the state of needing something that is absent or unavailable;be without) & acquaint (cause to come to know personally;make familiar)& acquaintance (personal knowledge or information about someone or something; a person with whom you are acquainted;a relationship less intimate than friendship)
