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)

It was most apparent when she became suspicious of everyone in the office of telling lies, having secrets and using the wrong color lipstick.

Etymology: view: watch + putrid: morally corrupted, rotted

No wonder they sang in such high voices :-) - petaj, 2007-04-02: 05:38:00

Probably better describes the process as opposed to the after-effects, but I still like the word enough to give it a vote. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-02: 07:24:00

funny - Jabberwocky, 2007-04-02: 12:35:00

thanks for the enthusiasm - Javeson1, 2007-04-02: 14:23:00

Doesn't really fit the definition. Euphoria is far from unpleasant. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-02: 18:12:00

How about if it was pronounced eeyeutwentyfouria sounding like that response from teenagers when they see something yucky. - petaj, 2007-04-02: 22:50:00

hah even though it doesn't exactly fit the defination its still a good one to describe the state one is in if one watches the entire season of a really GOOD show and is in a GOOD daze - ekath, 2007-04-04: 00:31:00
