Pronunciation: ver BUSE'

Sentence: I like playing games with my brother, except when he ends up getting upset over my interpretation of the rules and subjects me to the most terrible verbuse. I say he's too rigid, then he says the way I'm doing it is "incorrect" and "inaccurate." And don't ever say to him, "Who cares about these little details; it's JUST A GAME," because that's when he begins sputtering and spouting some REALLY verbusive language. Last time, it was, "Oh, I forgot, you're the 'good-looking' brother [he still hasn't forgotten THAT remark from Aunt Sophie, 35 years later], but that's okay, because I'm the SMART one!"

Etymology: verbose + verbal abuse
