Pronunciation: com para so nar

Sentence: Melissa's comparisonar was working overtime. She could sense when her whines would get her the much needed attention she craved. Her comparisonar could send out signals for 20 feet over a crowded room that said, "I can't help it, my beauty is such a curse, I'd rather be fat, ugly and poor!" "Yeah, right, Melissa", thought her friend, Didi, "Careful what you wish for, because time, gravity and having a mortgage, 3 kids and a cheating husband will give you your wish"!

Etymology: comparison (examining differences) & sonar (a measuring device)

I think Didi's getting ready to 'ping' Melissa right in the nose. Ditto to what silveryaspen wrote. - Tigger, 2008-02-27: 22:34:00

Sentence: "Do i look as skinny and pretty today as i did yesterday?" "stop egoboosting."

Etymology: boost comes from the latin root buest which means "to raise" or "increase". ego comes from the latin root ego which means "self" so the direct etymology literally means "to raise self"
