Pronunciation: crust-fall-en

Sentence: Jeremy came in hungry after canvassing in nearby neighborhoods all morning. He was crustfallen when he went through not one, not two, not 17, but all 23 pizza boxes at the campaign volunteer center only to find some picked-off olives and crumpled-up napkins. So crustfallen was he that he stripped off his candidate flair and defected to the other candidate, who did not have as many volunteers but had way more pizza.

Etymology: Crestfallen: "Sad because of a recent disappointment" altered to incorporate crust, as in pizza crust.

Pronunciation: Deep-dish-funk

Sentence: Megan rolled over, hit the snooze button, and began to roll into the cool part of the pillow when she noticed the pizza box still behind the clock from last night's "discussion" with Andy, and she thought about how great a greasy cold slice of triple Italian sausage would be right now, so she flipped the lid up on the box, only to discover the orange drainage amalgam of sausage grease and pizza sauce, but nary a remaining slice, and decided that she would have to start the day in a deepdishfunk.

Etymology: Deep dish: a common reference to Sicilian or Chicago-style pizza that is cooked in a deep pizza pan + Funk: an emotional frame of mind a few steps further than the common malaise.
