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)
