Sentence: Sara woke up feeling so good that she decided to take a couple fakecation days. Since she couldn't call in well, she faked being deathly ill. It was all working smoothly until she ran into her boss, who also felt too well to go to work, at the beach. "The doctor said I had to sit in the sun to cure my vitamin D deficiency," she lied. "Yeah, me too," said her boss. That was the end of the conversation and neither one of them ever mentioned it again.

Etymology: fake: false appearance; fraud + vacation: period of time devoted to pleasure, rest and relaxation

Sentence: Phoebe's "sickies" had her down for just about every known, not so well known and outright fictitious illness and disease known to mankind. Playing the buphonic patient had become second nature to her at the start of the working week where she'd always manage to find a "cure" by the weekend. As Monday rolled around too soon, she was about to let her boss know that after calling out the doctor this morning she had been diagnosed with a rather nasty case of toe-stub and needed to rest until Friday evening.

Etymology: Bubonic plague: A rather nasty outbreak of spots. Actually, they seem to look more like boils that cover the whole body and eventually turn you to mush. Phony: not sincere or not real.

Pronunciation: kol/i/to/sis

Sentence: The weekend was just too short and the beach too perfect. Though it was the middle of October, the sun was hot, and the surf was up. Bianca decided there was no way she was going to drive back into the city. Instead, she planned on coming down with a really good case of callitosis. Not only was she going to take Monday off, but she planned to let her boss know this bout was so bad, she would not only be out until Thursday, BUT would most probably show up with a bad case of skin discoloration from the antibiotics the doctor had prescribed.

Etymology: call: The dreaded "calling in sick" phone call. osis: suffix-affected with, condition, abnormal process.
