Pronunciation: tŏl'ər-ŭv

Sentence: My mother disapproved. My father was disappointed. My best friends all thought I was crazy. Not as crazy as they thought she was, but crazy nonetheless. Had I not been suffering from a particularly tenacious infection of tolerove, perhaps their opinions would have meant something to me. "The Girl friend from hell", they called her, and not without reason. We'd broken up and gotten back together on a semi-weekly basis for years now. She was prone to hysterical fits, and manic outbursts; the occasional month-long binge of compulsive lying was always a treat. I had only received advice to end it, but I couldn't. The tolerove had grown, and spread into every aspect of my being. I had become so accustomed to the madness that resistance seemed futile. It consumed me so deeply, that now I considered it likely to be inoperable, and I resigned. We were likely to be tolerovers forever.

Etymology: Tolerance (the capacity to endure hardship or pain) + Love (A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection) ...Tolerove sounds a little like "cholera" (An acute infectious disease)
