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)
