Pronunciation: bar rak o wha ma

Sentence: Julie was a regular Barrackowhama. Her tongue was like a rapier, her wit was sardonic and her retorts were as snide as they were deadly quick. No one ever won a verbal victory over her. Her favourite soda was Spite, her favourite cocktail was a Stinger and she enjoyed holidaying in the Vitriolic Islands. When others were cutting back, she was affronting and her favourite actor was William Hurt. Her abuse knew no boundaries and no one was exempt from her derision. She loved being scurrilious and enjoyed driving her new car, a black Invective. She could vituberate better than any Marine drill sargent and always played offense when she played high school football. Yes, Julie could revile for hours and never tire of the insults she threw around contumely like seeds of grain to the wind. Luckily her new job would allow her to use her skills and be paid well for it. She starts next week with the UN Diplomatic Corps!

Etymology: barrack (laugh at with contempt and derision) & wham (hit hard) & of course Barack Obama (for rhyming fun)

Pronunciation: hate rah deee

Sentence: I went to an upscale mall to buy a desk and chair from Pottery Barn. So I went up to a guy standing at a counter right below the chair I wanted and asked him if he could help me. He looked up over the magazine he was reading and in a snotty tone told me I could place a special order at any register. He was such a hatere'd and so surly from me asking him for help. I looked back at him a bit aghast and said "Ewww. You are in your forties and work in the mall. Don't care that it's Short Hills Mall, you still work in the mall." He was the perfect example of a hatere'd.

Etymology: maitre'd + hate. Actual spelling should be hatere'd - but rules of game wouldn't allow it - so i changed it a bit for the header.

Pronunciation: chīdandsēk

Sentence: After the hazard warning by Consumer Reports the job of the Customer Disservice Representatives is to do their best to shift the blame for problems back on to customers. With a technique they call chideandseek, they admonish callers for not following the overly-complicated owners manual that includes such sage wisdom as using safety goggles and chain-mail gloves when using any sharp product. If guilt does*t work, the trump card is to suggest that they are passing the call to a supervisor. Of course, all this does is put them back into the maze of a phone tree system.

Etymology: chide (scold or rebuke) + hide-and-seek (a children*s game in which one player tries to find other players who have hidden themselves)
