Sentence: Yes, there is a recession and she can\\\'t really afford them. Yes, they make her feet scream in pain and she can\\\'t wait to kick them off when she gets home but Susan is an oochiGucci girl. She would rather give up eating than her high-fashion shoes. On occasion she has.

Pronunciation: stil-let-toe-sis

Sentence: Stilettosis is a chronic condition that afflicts a vast number of women, manifesting at first as a penchant for cute shoes then metastasizing throughout the entire budget to include matching outfits, purses and, in extreme cases, jewelry. Women who show signs of this condition should immediately seek help from their banker. In advanced stages a pursectomy may be needed to remove the credit card.

Etymology: stiletto: (from the Italian word for dagger or switchblade) is an uncomfortable shoe with a high thin heel that women think look sexy but can lead to all kinds of foot and back maladies + osis: (suffix) a chronic or abnormal condition

Pronunciation: sty LET oh

Sentence: Candy just loves buying sexy and stylish new shoes from places like Needless Markup - oops, I mean Neiman Marcus. She must have 150 pairs - no, I'm not kidding. She and her husband built an addition onto their bedroom, which they tell everyone was for the luxury bathroom, but really it was so that they could have a walk-in closet - just to hold all her shoes. Her husband was thinking of retiring early on the money he had made as an investment banker, but it isn't going to happen now, between the second mortgage and all the expensive shoes. But he loves and adores her - he calls her his little styletto.

Etymology: style + stiletto
