Hangmailed
Created by: mweinmann
Pronunciation: hayng - maled
Sentence: Riley really felt hangmailed this morning in more ways than one. First, there was the enormous headache and queasiness from his hangover. But most horribly, he felt a sense of impending doom over the emails he thought he remembered sending last night. Did he really tell off his boss, his girlfriend, his brother and his best friend all in the span of a few hours? He was afraid to open his inbox.
Etymology: Hang (kill by hanging, hang one's head in shame; to be menacing, burdensome, or oppressive; "This worry hangs on my mind") + Hang is the beginning of the word hangover. The last part of the word is mailed (past tense of mail, as in its too late)....you've been hanged with your mail!!
