Epiphankneed

Created by: readerwriter

Pronunciation: e-pi-fa-need

Sentence: Nano-seconds after the cell phone call from her fiance Brian, while her carefully chosen processional music loomed from the interior of the church, Penny felt the strangest sensation. Its beginning, as her face began to flush, reminded her somewhat of the time she had taken too much niacin. Following this was the awareness that her life was not going to go as so meticulously planned. The thought-sensations, which had begun in her pineal gland, travelled down her spine and into her legs which bent immediately. Her lovely bouquet of almost-mauve roses flew from her hand. There she lay, prostrate before the stunned, but strategically assembled, wedding party. She had been ephipankneed right on the steps of the church.

Etymology: From epiphany, meaning a moment of sudden and great revelation + knee, a verb, meaning to reduce someone to a state of weakness
