Created by: Banky

Pronunciation: matt-trih-mohn-o-log

Sentence: When Jenna's husband would begin a droning matrimonologue about the good old days in the frat house in college, she would escape through the back door in her mind.

Oddly enough, her husband was having a very similar fantasy, but with substantially more Greek-letter-inscribed paddling.

Etymology: matrimony + monologue

Solomeo

artr

Created by: artr

Sentence: Once the words **Let me tell you** slipped past Sally*s lips, Edward knew it was going to be a solomeo evening.

His story about seeing a **queen** from England getting hit by a bus would just have to wait.

Uniblatheral

artr

Created by: artr

Pronunciation: yoōnə-blathər-əl

Sentence: Joan and Jane are best of friends. Theirs is a perfect uniblatheral relationship. Joan has BMW disorder (bitch, moan, whine) if there is a topic to be discussed, she has an issue with some part of it. Jane is a one-person support group. Through numerous years of vigorous training she has developed the ability to listen without really hearing and nod at appropriate moments. That way her expression never gives it away when one of Joan's tirades is a repeat, as so many of them are.

Etymology: unilateral (performed by or affecting only one person) + blather (talk long-windedly without making very much sense)
