Sentence: During years of boredom at work, Bob used several sanity-saving strategies, but he knew that the time to go was a right-brainer when he started creating verboticisms to describe his plight. He considered ennuixitasy, joie-de-chuckit, and fleeglee, and even though he thought it might be an "excellent mistake," he settled for quithrill, quithrill, quithrill, simply for the joy he found in saying over and over.

Etymology: QUIT: to give up or resign one's job or position; THRILL: to affect one with a wave of emotion or excitement.
