Cardboredom
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: kard bor dom
Sentence: Others suffered from hangovers the day after overindulging, but Joey suffered from cardboredom. That horrible feeling of depression one gets by staring at the empty cardboard pizza box wondering, "Where did it all go?" His crusty sole pie-ned for another slice. If he had been better oregano-ized last night, he would have ordered the 2-for-one special and could have been reliving the mozza exciting time of his life again today. When the doorbell had rung last night, he had opened it to Margharieta, who was saucy and the mozza attractive dish that Joey had ever enjoyed. There was not mushroom for improvement. She was a tasty dish and stuffed him with a contentment he had never felt before. She had played Salami to his PapaJohn the Wraptist. She had a lot of dough, she smelled like flours and olive his attention had been wedged on her good taste. Through thick and through thin, he had wanted her to be there when he woke up the next morning, but alas, she had just been stringing him along. Today, while he sat at home, cardbored and pleasuring himself with his stromboli in the Calzone, she'd probably be forno-cating with Basil, melting in his arms in some cheesy parlor!
Etymology: cardboard ( a stiff moderately thick paper from which pizza boxes are made) & boredom (the feeling of being bored by something tedious;uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence)
