Pronunciation: ˈfani:meɪ:i:jɛs:i:meɪ

Sentence: As an only child in an adult's body, the 30 year old banking prodigy Gerry Meander loved his job in global finance. Growing up alone meant he got everything he wanted and was self sufficient (if not satisfied). Gerry was quite happy playing with (er..) himself and "Simple Simon said" whatever Gerry demanded. Mother just kept on giving. And, as he became expert in answering his own questions, job self satisfaction was always guaranteed. So much so, Gerry founded his own bank "FannyMayiYesiMay". And it was so, Simple Simon said.

Etymology: Conglomeration of 1 - Fannie Mae: A bust bank and apparent epicenter of a global finance crisis 2 - Mother may I, the response in the playground role-play game "Simple Simon", where one child plays mother and the other children play Simon.

Sentence: Chairman Moe bought his little bank at a fire sale in the 1980's and watched it grow into a financial ziggurat through astute aquisitions, lavish lobbying and deregulation.

Next time he would have to increase his executive compensation.

Pronunciation: bank rape ers

Sentence: As CEO (Cheat Em Officer) of the bank, the first disorder of business was to set my salary at a million of your invested dollars, per year. Of course, each bored member voted the same for themselves. Knowing loans made, would never be repaid, we voted to lend all our business buzzard friends, millions more, so they could carrion their extravagant lifestyles and hide their rotting businesses. The rest of your money, we sinvested in the worthless stock of these business buzzards' companies. For screwing you out of your money, and screwing the government out of billions more, we have become known as the biggest bankrapers in history!

Etymology: BANK, RAPE. Also a word play on bank robbers. BANK - business offering financial services: a business that KEEPS MONEY for individual people or companies, exchanges currencies, makes loans, and offers other financial services. RAPE - violent abusive destructive treatment.
