Paramourgency
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: para merjin see
Sentence: When Tara met Gord, it was love at first fright. She had arranged for her best friend, May, to call her to interrupt the date if it was a paramourgency...and sadly it was.

She knew if she had to save herself, she would have to resort to divirginary tactics. It was definitely time for a May Day call to come in!
Etymology: Paramour (a woman's lover) & Emergency (a sudden unforeseen crisis (usually involving danger) that requires immediate action)
