Pronunciation: repəditēəs

Sentence: Rob’s morning is repedittious.

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: MUSE-ick-CRAP-pet-a- tiff

Sentence: Bald-headed John drove around the block too many times, with his ugly euro-pod Toyota blaring annoying subsonic vibrations which were intelligible only to him.

As he lay in bed with no hopes of consummating his puerile desires, many stanzas of bogus "samples" and heathen drumbeats drilled into his head like a tasteless, regrettable tattoo.

Etymology: Gran Torino.
