Pronunciation: ob luv ee us

Sentence: Bertrand was so obloveous, he failed to notice the admiring looks and attentiveness of his assistant, Wanda. He was a chemical scientist, whose right side of the brain had apparently been gripped too tight by the forceps at birth. He lived for chemical equations, experiments and reactions. She was the faithful, undemanding, caring nerd-girl with a huge IQ and stellar academic career. One day she decided to change her looks and get his under-developed attention once and for all. Some clever cosmetics to bring out her pretty face, a trip to the salon, contact lenses, a new flashy wardrobe and a resultant new sense of confidence turned Wanda from a shy lab-rat into a comic-book heroine. Bertrand knew something was afoot when he walked into work and his thick glasses immediately fogged up (a reaction). Suddenly, the table of elements and properties of inert gases no longer held the same attraction they once did. The new equation featured Wanda in his every thought. He found himself studying the romance poets for inspiration and sprucing up his own physical appearance to be worthy of her attention (an experiment). For the first time in his life, he knew what chemistry between consenting adults really meant.

Etymology: oblivious (failing to notice the obvious;forgetful, inattentive, unmindful of something) & Love (any object of warm affection or devotion;a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction)

Pronunciation: mihss-mahrk

Sentence: Petunia felt she must be missmarked. How could Porky not love her? Was she always to be a missmarkee? Maybe she was missmarketing herself?

Etymology: Derived from "to miss the mark," an archery term, i.e. not hitting the bull's eye. Middle English = Sin!

Pronunciation: dismach

Sentence: John and Gina are a perfect couple. They like the same foods, go to the same movies, have the same recreation interests. They can finish each other's sentences. To their friends, they are soul mates. To them it is a complete dismatch. They are so much alike that all they see in each other are their own faults. They can hang out all weekend but if someone suggests that they are dating, the reaction is a snort and a "you've gotta be kidding".

Etymology: dis (act or speak in a disrespectful way toward) + match (a pair that corresponds or is very similar)
