Pronunciation: ah wer ror ness

Sentence: We have all had that moment of awerrorness, when you just knew you had picked the wrong job or the wrong house or the wrong vehicle or the wrong person to share your life with. Marcia just had such a flash of awerrorness when her Dad walked her up the aisle to marry the love of her life, her high school sweetheart, John Brady. Even though they had been engaged forever, had 6 children together, owned a business and a big ranch home together, Marcia just knew at that very moment that life had way more to offer her than John could provide. Sure he was reliable, steady, a solid rock and oh so boring. She was after all a still vibrant and attractive 29 year old, with unfulfilled passions and ambitions. There were still places to visit, although John never wanted to leave the farm. There were still adventures to have, although John did not believe that life was meant to be lived in an exciting manner. Seeing her change in demeanour, her father squeezed her arm and whispered to her out of the side of his smiling mouth: "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...wake up from your daydream and smile...many girls would love to become a member of the Brady Bunch!"

Etymology: Awe {an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight)} & Awareness (having knowledge of) & Error (a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention;inadvertent incorrectness; a misconception resulting from incorrect information )

Pronunciation:

Sentence: Amy had been planning to attend law school in the Fall, but after spending some time with actual lawyers during her internship, she began having doubts. Ha. Doubt is actually not the best way to describe it. It was more like a qualmflash--she suddenly saw the connection between all the uneasy feelings that had striken her during the semester; she would never be comfortable with the mores governing a law firm.

Pronunciation: im BRO lee o no not uh GEN

Sentence: Our extended family got through Christmas Day OK, without too many family arguments and strife. That was mostly because Cousin Wyno was too drunk to really talk much and fell asleep at the table, Grandma Maddie was giving everyone the silent treatment because of some imagined slight from Thanksgiving, and Uncle Dick was too busy looking at women's cleavage when he thought no one would notice. We probably shouldn't have pushed our luck and decided to get together again for New Year's Eve.... Sure enough, it was another family imbrogliohnonotagain, complete with accusations, confidences (and some dishes) broken, yelling, and crying. The only New Year's resolutions that ended up being made were renewed promises to "never speak to you again!"

Etymology: imbroglio (a complicated and embarrassing state of things; a serious misunderstanding or disagreement, especially one that is bitter; an unwanted, difficult and confusing situation, full of trouble and problems) + "Oh, no, not again"
