Gleemancipation

Created by: Tigger

Pronunciation: /glee-man-suh-PEY-shun/

Sentence: Using the infamous hand gesture of Donald Trump, Andy told his boss "You're fired." And to that, Mr. Dillard replied, "You can't fire me. I'm YOUR boss." Andy leaned back as far as he could in his boss' stiff-backed chair, grinned and said, "But don't you see? That's the one thing I can fire you from — you're no longer my boss!" After he enjoyed watching the reaction of his former boss for several moments, he stood up and strode out of the office, filled with a feeling of gleemancipation. It would only last until around the end of the month, when his rent was due, but for now, Andy simply enjoyed the moment.

Etymology: Glee - open delight or pleasure; exultant joy; exultation (from Old English, gliu "entertainment, mirth, jest") + Emancipation - freedom from bondage, oppression, or restraint (from Latin, emancipatus "freed from control")

So many good words already. I'll have to think about this after I exit MPOW, and head for the carpark. (Only vehiciousexiting going on at this time of the day) I wonder if there will be even a minor thrill as I'm only leaving for a long weekend.

I heard this one years ago but I can't let the day go without passing it on to people who like funny word combos - Today is Star Wars Day - "May the 4th be with you"!!
