Pronunciation: ETHANOLOPRESSION

Sentence: As he machanically scrolled through about a dozen e-mails from giddy co-workers, the events of last evening began to take shape. Slowly, almost lazily, the dim suspicion of something being vaguely out of place began to yield to an outright dread as his gaze fell on the last message. That one was from Mr. Goldenshlock himself. The e-mail quoted Jake's own message to the entire company in which he described the etymology of the world "shlock" and advised Jake where he can pick up his last paycheck. Overcome by utter ethanolopression, Jake grabbed for the bottle with the last two drops of tequila and finished it off without thinking of the worm that stuck to his uvula.

Etymology: "Ethanol" - two carbon alcohol compound ubiquitous to all alcoholic beverages. "Pression" - root word from "depression. (Comment: the word was originally spelled with a hyphen: "e-thanolopression," which makes total sense given its original meaning. Through the ages, however, this was dropped by lazy spellers who felt it was beneath them to use the ring finger of their right hand to press an extra key [see: "ROFLMAO" "UR GR8" "BTW" and "BRB"]

Pronunciation: spin-AG-lay-ikes

Sentence: After consuming several bottles of fine New Jersy wine, Tommy savored the intimate caress of the cool floor tiles and realized that he WASN'T going to die just yet. When his glasses de-fogged, he checked the "sent" folder on his laptop and the SPINAGEYIKES gripped him like the angry fist of an ourang-outang. Giselle would certainly never speak to him again, his co-workers would treat him like a leper on the morrow, and his boss would NEVER let him take a week off work to go to that wordsmith festival in the desert. Trembling with SPINAGLEYIKES, Tommy realized that his best career option might be to: cut the soles off his shoes, live in a cave and learn to play the nose flute.

Etymology: SPIN+AGLEY+yIKES=SPINAGLEYIKES..........SPIN:to revolve rapidly,gyrate,to feel as if in a whirl,reel,to move swiftly especially on or as if on wheels or in a vehicle from hell,to fall in a spin,to plunge helplessly and out of control;Middle English spinnen, from Old English spinnan; akin to Old High German spinnan to spin and perhaps to Lithuanian spęsti to set (a trap).....AGLEY:chiefly Scottish, awry ,terribly wrong (the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley);Scots, from 1a- + gley to squint.....YIKES: exclamation,used to express fear or astonishment; probably alteration of yoicks (origin kind of blurry)
