Naryanniversnary

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: nairy annee vers nairy

Sentence: You just knew that after 37 years, the honeymoon was over. In the early years, Peaches and Howard had bought each other elaborate gifts and surprises to mark their wedding anniversaries...exotic trips, a new home, elegant gifts and expensive cameras, perfumes,jewellery, etc. After that long, people start to take each other for granted. Medicines and their side effects to keep symptoms at bay replace romance and passion with menopause,ED,gastro reflux and more frequent potty trips. Now they celebrated a naryanniversnary. Maybe he'd remember to shave that day and maybe she'd cook him a nice supper. They still loved each other, but they didn't remember why. Life just sometimes gets in the way of love...

Etymology: Nary (negative;not in any degree or manner; not at all) & Anniversary (the date on which an event occurred in some previous year (or the celebration of it);ie: a wedding)

This definition is based on a fictional event. The fact that my dear and loving partner celebrated her birthday yesterday, is not related to this definition in anyway whatsoever. It is simply a coincidence. And, may I repeat, I did not forget her birthday. In fact, I thought of many gifts which I could have easily purchased for her. Thank you. ~ James

So your partner got "Jamesed"?

I believe she was verbotomized. And I don't think she was too pleased with the procedure. ~ James

purpleartichokes - 2007-04-06: 11:12:00
That bad, huh? Well, an iron makes a useful gift, as it is the perfect size, shape, and weight to make good contact with the forgifter's cranium.

Verbotomy Verbotomy - 2007-04-06: 13:26:00
Forgifter? What a wonderful merger of the words "foresight" and "gift". Clearly, I should be be forgiftgiven.

purpleartichokes - 2007-04-06: 15:31:00
Perhaps a bottle of fine whine with some aged cheesy excuses might work.

No doubt you have been celeberated for exploiting the comissmemoration for the benegift of the verbotomy crowd. Maybe a box of shocklates would help.

petaj petaj - 2007-04-06: 19:53:00
Or may be a celebelation will suffice.
