Pronunciation: crab-bee-been-noh

Sentence: Xavier was a real crabbibeano, and he liked his coffee the way he saw the world -- hot, strong and bitter. But due to limited financial resources and his unlimited amount of time (he was going to be an artist), he would spend his entire day sulking in the corner nursing a single espresso until it was tepid, bland and empty -- like his imagination.

Etymology: crabby + bean + cappuccino

Pronunciation: īdlpātid

Sentence: Roger is completely idlepated. He is so annoyed at not having a job that he refuses to look for one. Afterall, doing so means he has to come in contact with the very people who put him in this state to begin with. He knows so much more than those jerks who call themselves managers but can,t stand the thought of BEING one of those arrogant morons. So here he sits at Java Joe,s, emotionally constipated, plotting what he won,t do next.

Etymology: idle (not working; unemployed; avoiding work; lazy) + addlepated (lacking in common sense; having a muddled mind)
