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: dämə nō môr

Sentence: Alvin was having a bout of remorsel. One moment he felt like the king of pies. The next he was Dominomore. He was so busy watching the game that he didn't pay attention to the fact that he was scarfing down the final slice. He usually took a moment savor the last bite but now it was gone. He tried to make himself feel better by picking off a mushroom that was stuck on the lid but it didn't help. All that he was left with was a cold, heartless slab of cardboard.

Etymology: Domino (Pizza brand) + no more (nothing further)
