Pronunciation: nar sis stat tis tik

Sentence: No wonder there are so many distracted driving laws and lawsuits against people too stupid to concentrate on what they are doing and act safely. Take Penny, who merrily walked into the path of a car on the street, oblivious due to her wearing her earpads, listening to fluffy pop music. The driver of the car lost control to avoid her, flipped over and went to Heaven. Penny herself narrowly avoided becoming another narcisstatistic and still doesn't know it!

Etymology: Narcississtic (characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance) & Statistic (a datum that can be represented numerically)

Pronunciation: nob liv ee yon

Sentence: When Olivia hit the volume button on her ipod, she managed to enter her own little world, unaware of anything around her. She created a world of knoblivion, where nothing else existed but her. It was during this state of knoblivion that she failed to notice the red sports car that barely missed her and had to swerve into a big tree, flipping over the vehicle and trapping the driver. Calamities to others followed her until one day, she ignored the warning bells and the 4:15 downtown bus punched her ticket permanently.

Etymology: Knob (dial;button that controls volume) & Oblivion (forgetfulness;a state of being unaware)
