Pronunciation: /MIM-urk-ree/

Sentence: Cheryl would sometimes sing to herself when listening to her iPod — not loud enough to bother anyone (or so she thought). But when Yvonne, her roommate, would do the same thing but much louder, Cheryl was sure, and out-of-key, it was just so irritating. And since Yvonne and Cheryl liked almost all of the same songs, it was even worse, because it was just a tuneless mimirkry of the same songs Cheryl found herself singing along to.

Etymology: Mimicry - the act of mimicking; imitative behavior (from Greek, mimikos "of or pertaining to mimes") + Irk - to irritate, annoy, or exasperate (from Middle English, irken "to grow tired, tire")

Pronunciation: ay pa bil it ee

Sentence: Aperil had an annoying apeability. Whomever she worked with, she could ape their bad habits within a very short time to the point where it annoyed the original offenders. This would explain why she had held 14 jobs in the past year and was working towards number 15. When first interviewed, she had the apeability of mirroring those traits in her prospective employers which made them think they were hiring in their own image. But after a very short while, those bad habits her employers hated in themselves would soon manifest themselves in Aperil. Like the fact she enjoyed aperitifs and apepetizers at 12:00 noon; she never apeologized when she made an error; the fact that she had a big apetite; she miswrote apepointments; her apepearance left a lot to be desired and she did not apepreciate her employers. Aperil worked as an Apeprentice Apepraisor with the Ape Apeprehension Apepeal Apepellate Apeperratus.

Etymology: ape (someone who copies the words or behavior of another or imitate uncritically and in every aspect) & ability (the quality of being able to perform; a quality that permits or facilitates achievement or accomplishment) & capability (an aptitude that may be developed)
