Pronunciation: star/sess/ed

Sentence: Jennifer is so starsessed that she knows who every major Hollywood actor is dating, which night clubs they frequent, their favourite designers and the amount of money they make each year, but forgot her daughter's birthday. This celebnatic behaviour is the reason she's a single mother.

Etymology: star + obsessed

COMMENTS:

Starsesses causing brain absesses (holes where important things fall through) ? ! The power of those 4 words 'forgot her daughter's birthday' overwhelmed me. Excellent strength in your sentence ... and your verboticism! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 11:25:00

Pronunciation: spok stok er

Sentence: Being a sci-fi obsessive individual, it was inevitable that Venus would become a spockstalker. She affected the terse, logical voice of her hero, Mr Spock of Star Trek. She sported the big ears and uniform of the Starship Command. She became fluent in Vulcan and Klingon. She attended every Star Trek convention in the hopes of seeing her beloved and hoped for the chance to tell him of her undying love. She was President of every Spock Fan Club and showed up at every opportunity meet her idol. When she finally did meet him face to face, she told him of her adoration and her hope that he would boldly go where no man had gone before. The police involvement in removing her from his hotel room only served to strengthen her resolve that they might travel the universe together. TRO?...how could that block the course of true love? Illogical!

Etymology: Spock (Mr. Spock of Star Trek Fame..Spock is a character in the fictional Star Trek media franchise, from planet Vulcan...illogical) & Stalker (over enthusiastic fan, who stalks or sneaks about after their prey). PS...TRO (Temporary Restraining Order)

Pronunciation: NUR-null

Sentence: The girl wants a nurnelle for her birthday this year.

Etymology: I just randomly said it one time. It means a bunny-cat-elephant-camel like animal. I dont know how to change the definition up there. If you know how, can you leave it in the comment box? Also, I can't find out how to make a new word after I made this one!!! :(

Pronunciation: vahp-ah-rot-see

Sentence: The cubicle walls appeared to waver and then fix, and spots began to appear at the edges of Robert's sight. The worst headache of his life was beginning to effect his vision. He tasted blood in his mouth and realized he had nearly bitten through his lip. A peal of shrieking laughter washed over the wall from the adjacent cubicle. "I can't believe she left Ryan Phillipe! He's so cute!", squealed a nasally laser voice. "And did you see Kirstie Alley got dropped from Jenny Craig for getting fat again." the other gasped with breathless exhileration. Robert had done all he could; he had taken the issue to his supervisor, to HR, to the anonymous complaint line, but no one seemed concerned with the fact that the mind-splitting caterwauling day in and day out had prevented Robert from finishing the same report for three weeks straight. He swore he could hear their giggling in his sleep, and as his bloodshot eyes flicked aimlessly around the cubicle, the fabric walls beginning to get closer, as he looked desperately for a way out. A day later the headlines would declare "Lesbian Network Support Pair Found at HP in Apparent Murder-suicide". Photographs showed the Blade server unit used to bludgeon Marie, and the ethernet cable Darlene had managed to hang herself with. As he wiped the last traces of the tawdry note he had left at the scene from his thumb drive, and demolished it with a hammer, Robert thought that the two vaparazzi would be proud. Instead of reading sensational headlines, they were now making them.

Etymology: vapid + paparazzi

COMMENTS:

Frightfully good sentence. Your sentences make me wonder if you are a professional author of mysteries and murder mysteries! Vaparazzi is so fun to say and evokes lots of mind play! Excellent etymology and creation! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 11:33:00

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm just a scientist...I obviously do enjoy writing the stories, though. Quite possibly as much as making up the words, as witnessed by this exceedingly long Tolstoy (in length only, not quality) - Banky, 2008-02-15: 12:19:00

Your colleagues are in for a treat if you write your scientific papers as interestingly and excitingly as you write here! I was stunned you are not a professional author of fiction! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 20:36:00

Like a modern-day Edgar Allen Poe. Creepy, but ultimately satisfying story. Great Verboticism too! - Tigger, 2008-02-15: 22:38:00

Great word and tale! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-17: 16:53:00

Pronunciation: /laɪmˌlaɪt.lɪŋ/
