Pronunciation: /ma-truh-MOWN-ee-ul/

Sentence: Linda couldn't cry anymore — she was all out of tears by now. Having mostly gotten over the initial shock of her new husband's and her best friend's betrayal, she was now feeling matrimoanial, seeking the comfort of her family, who would listen to her complaints and try to console her. "And worst of all Grandma, they were doing it right there on those lovely silk sheets you gave us." Her grandmother patted Linda on her knee and said, "If it's any consolation dear, that wasn't real silk anyway."

Etymology: Matrimonial - of or relating to the state of marriage (from Latin, matrimonium "wedlock, marriage") + Moan - complaint or lamentation (from Old English, mænan to mourn)

Pronunciation: Sum-thin-bloo

Sentence: She went somethinblue, a rage beyond red, an envy exceeding green, pure despair, having found the rat and his cat christening the most thoughtful gift. (my word that's pretentious nonsense)

Etymology: From the tradition that a bride wears something old, new, borrowed and blue. Also based on the idea that "blue" denotes both sexual behaviour and sadness. Note also "thin" (as opposed to "thing") as describing the sheets.

How did this definition get approved? Seriously, it's too specific. - emd2k3, 2007-04-24: 15:23:00
