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)
