Pronunciation: wo ree or

Sentence: Wanda was a decorated Woerrior. She fought the Battle of the Bulge in General Jenny Craig's Army and lost 100 pounds. She had become the Lieutenant of Lettuce, the Field Marshal of Fiber, the Sargent of Salads and the Major Loser in the Campaigns. And yet, she still did not see herself as thin, so she sought out compliments for reassurance by saying self-deprecating things about her figure. Her best friend Debbie soon saw through her woe-is-me demeanor. At 280 pounds, Debbie had yet to enlist and told Wanda that she was a disgrace to her unit and she should start acting like the Loser she really was and combat her attitude!

Etymology: Woe (intense mournfulness;misery resulting from affliction) & Warrior (someone who fights in a war) & Worrier( thinks about unfortunate things that might happen)

Pronunciation: joi-DI-rahyd.

Sentence: The strange sounds that echoed in my head, obviously were even funnier on my lips, for my French speaking classmates laughed till they cried. And every day my pronunciation sounded worse, and there was nothing I could do to improve it. Then one day I said to myself, Bob you’re on a winner here; milk it, be the butt of their jokes, slip in a few Malay words and they will love you even more. It was fantastic I was more popular than ever before; the hurt had gone; the “joie de jeers” were now sweet music to my ears; my emotional tank was full again, and it was seat-belts on for the joyderide of my life.

Etymology: Blend of joy, joyride, & deride. Perhaps in line with the french flavour of my sentence, the verbotomy should be, "joie de ride".

Pronunciation: Me me cry

Sentence: Gemma dreaded this part, the part of the evening when some idiot asked Joanne how she was. There was almost an audible pause in the hubbub of conversation in the room as the collective consciousness of those present registered the newcomers' error. And there was the indrawing of breath before the compliment-begging whine, how bad she was at her job, how fat she felt, how hard-done-by she was by all those people who took advantage of her sooo generous nature. It was not long before the party moved onto the balcony despite the cold outside. "Right, if he does that again, nobody invite that guy to the christmas party." said David, joining Gemma at the railing. "Nevermind him, why don't we just not invite the source of all that memecry?"

Etymology: Me, me it's all about ME! My life is so terrible and no-body loves me, if someone doesn't compliment me I think I'll cry! Mimicry - pretense or acting to benefit onesself; "playing" the victim..

COMMENTS:

ME-arvellous word. EconoMEcal and ME-ticulous. - Nosila, 2008-12-11: 02:16:00
