Sentence: Even though Johnny had pressed it, Charlie had to follow suit because the funky Flea-like riff noise the irresistibuttion made was bloomin' marvellous.

Pronunciation: ahb-PRes

Sentence: Rick became enraged when he thought I was intentionally trying to oppress his need to obpress the buttons in the elevator. I didn't realize that me standing infront of the control panel would send him into such a tizzy. What made it worse was the twenty-three story ride in the small enclosed elevator and listening to him rant about how he needs to press the button. I am not sure whether to be sorry for him or appalled by his childish tantrum.

Etymology: obsession + press (a play on the word oppress)= obpress
