Pronunciation: mad them

Sentence: It started again the rousing rendition of "Oh say can you see"...over and over again. She tried listening to all other types of music, even annoying songs, but the madthem persisted. Why did it keep haunting her? And then one day, she figured it out. She always fell asleep watching the late, late movie and at it's end, the US National anthem played until she woke up and crawled into bed. The only way to stop the madness was to go to bed earlier...and turn off the darn TV!

Etymology: Mad (affected with madness or insanity) and Anthem (a song of praise,devotion, motivation for a God, nation or cause)

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)
