Pronunciation: stor bit

Sentence: When Venus Houston went to the mall, she would drive around for hours to get the closest spot to her final destination. In other words, she would storbit around rows of vehicles before she came in for a landing in a spot that was not for the disabled/seniors/taxis/young parents. She figured that these storbits were her mission and why they called a free spot a parking "space". Houston, we have a problem...

Etymology: Store (a mercantile establishment for the retail sale of goods or services) & Orbit ( the (usually elliptical) path described by one celestial body in its revolution about another)

Pronunciation: /pahrk-SNIK-i-tee/

Sentence: On their sixth lap around the parking lot, Lois decided that Mike was just too parksnickety. They'd been driving in circles for almost ten minutes now, but it would have taken little more than a minute to walk across the entire parking lot. Mike had passed up every empty spot further than ten spaces away from the front door of the department store, and cursed every time someone else pulled in before he could get there. She just sighed and rubbed her temples again — Mike never won at Parking Lot Bingo, and she knew that asking him to park further out would only start an argument.

Etymology: Park - to place or leave a vehicle in a certain location (from Old English, pearruc "paddock") + Persnickety - requiring painstaking care; overparticular; fussy (extended form of Scottish, pernicky; of uncertain origin, possibly from 'particular')
