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")
