Pronunciation: sham pree she ayshun

Sentence: Sharmaine had the biggest and best garage sales ecery summer. Most of the things she sold were new, not-ever-out-of-the-packaging type things. The reason for these sales was that Sharmaine was the Queen of Shampreciation. She could never say a bad word about a gift, she always faked her gratitude. And then she piled the offending gift into the spare room to pile up for the next big garage sale. If only her friends and family paid somne attention to her likes and dislikes, she wouldn't have to hold these huge sales all the time!

Etymology: Sham (feign, pretend,a person who makes deceitful pretenses) & Appreciation (indebtedness, gratitude)

With the camcorder rolling and her best look of surprise, Laura tore the wrappings off and exclaimed: "ALRIGHT! Just what I always wanted!....SECURITY ENVELOPES!" Her MYRRHSATZUBERANCE that day will provide years of holiday hilarity.
