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 )
