Pronunciation: ikəθän

Sentence: What started as a dare, ended as a ickathon as a group of friends spent their vacations watching Green Acres episodes non-stop. Besides the psychological effects of spending so much time with such insipid drivel several of the women and one of the guys took almost a week to loose the Eva Gabor-esque accent.

Etymology: ick (exclamation used to express strong distaste or disgust) + marathon (a long-lasting or difficult task or operation of a specified kind)

Pronunciation: y-r-u-leave-ing

Sentence: Tilly was in tears. Phil had said nothing to her in the last 48 hours, apart from 'Yo, bruv' when she'd handed him a cup of tea. Given that he went to Eton and spoke with a public school accent, this was infuriating. As she carried her suitcase to the front door, he didn't even look up, just grunted, 'wireuleaving?'

Etymology: The Wire (popular TV series) + why are you leaving? (question asked of one partner by the other on the departure of the latter)

Pronunciation: tee ara thon

Sentence: After Zack and Helena watched an entire season of Toddlers and Tiaras, they were revolted, but like a messy traffic accident, could not stop looking.

Etymology: Tiara (crown-like headpiece, diadem) & Marathon (any long and arduous undertaking; named for the ancient Greek footrace)
