Pronunciation: em see yam mer

Sentence: Stanley was almost comatose listening to Andrea's endless prattle about her day at work. "And then, you know that Linda I told you about in accounting, well, that snob never said Good Morning to me and like, what did I ever do to her? And then Josh, the cute electrician told me I had nice hair and like Linda was sooo jealous..." Poor Stanley, he was a captive audience, being an inside cat in a one bedroom apartment, jailed with a self-involved airhead like Andrea. Oh sure, she fed him, cleaned his stink box and rubbed him on the chin like he liked, but seriously. How much more of being emceeyammer could he take? Granted, he slept 16 hours a day and therefore snored through most of her tirades, but she needed one of her own species. Maybe he'd sign her up on-line for a singles club. In his own lethargic manner, Stanley was getting fed up. Oh no, here she comes again...it's yammer time!

Etymology: Emcee (MC or Master of Ceremonies, Ringmaster, Host) & Yammer (to whine endlessly) & MC Hammer (Performer in the late 80's and early 90's who's most most famous song was "U Can't Touch This" and was famous for baggy Hammer Pants.)

Pronunciation: sōlōmēō

Sentence: Once the words **Let me tell you** slipped past Sally*s lips, Edward knew it was going to be a solomeo evening. It didn*t matter if he had seen the Queen of England or if he had been hit by a bus. His job for the duration of the night was to nod reassuringly and interject phrases like **I know what you mean** or **That*s terrible**. Three hours later his mind was numb and his neck sore from nodding, all this because some clerk **looked at her funny**. His story about seeing a **queen** from England getting hit by a bus would just have to wait.

Etymology: solo (a thing done by one person unaccompanied) + (used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself as the object of a verb or preposition) a play on *O Solo Mia - a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898
