Karmadiate
Created by: Kyoti
Pronunciation: Kahr-may-dee-ate
Sentence: Billy knocked on the door, and when Jennifer opened it, she looked right at him and said, "I suppose you think this fixes everything!", then ran off and locked herself into the bathroom for an hour. While he waited impatiently on the couch, her Saint Bernard, "Mr. Tidwell", began to take a more than friendly interest in nuzzling Billy's sensitive areas. Before he caught himself, Billy glanced at Mr. Tidwell and karmadiated involuntarily, "I suppose you think this fixes everything".
