Pronunciation: repəditēəs

Sentence: Rob’s morning is repedittious. Maybe his resistance was down due to a lack of restful sleep, maybe he needed more coffee but an insipid jingle from a commercial bore it’s way into his head and laid eggs. Nothing short of blasting caps seems to be able to remove it. ”The best part of waking up...” He doesn’t even drink coffee.

Etymology: repetitious (over and over esp. when unnecessary or tiresome) + ditty (a short simple song)

Pronunciation: brayn refrayn agayn

Sentence: Her name was Jane and she could not explain why it happened again. It was a pain that was hard to contain. When she heard a strain which should entertain, she instead got a brainrefrainagain. Over and over it would play again, even though she tried to abstain, but in her brain this tune would remain. She tried in vain to remain sane, but her attempts to constrain were a very big drain and soon it nearly drove her insane..."I'm leaving on a Jet Plane..." Oops, I did it again!

Etymology: Brain ( that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord; mental ability) & Refrain (the part of a song where a soloist is joined by a group of singers) & Again (over and over;repeatedly)

Pronunciation: tune-i-tus

Sentence: After chaperoning her daughter's girl scout troop to a very loud Myley Cyrus concert Marylin found that she had developed a serious case of tuneitus. She doesn't know if she got it at the concert or from the girls singing the same song over and over in the bus, but now she couldn't get rid of it. After looking up her symptoms on Web MD she found to her horror that the only cure for tuneitus is to think of an equally droll song or else to try to pass the songworm to someone else by singing it outloud. It was cruel, she knew, but she had to get rid of it or she would go mad. "Harry," she called, "listen to this song the girls sang."

Etymology: tinnitus: a constant buzzing, ringing or whistling sound in one or both ears caused by an external trigger such as an ear infection or head injury + tune: the melody of a song that is simple and easy to remember
