Tolerove

zrotv

Created by: zrotv

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)

Here is the last "Love Verbotomy" for Valentines week. Now I admit the definition sounds a little like marriage. But hey, every marriage is different, and if the Inuit can have 100 different words for snow, we could use a few more for this type of "relationship". Happy Valentines to all! ~ James

Thank you mweinmann. And I "heartily" agree, a little bit of acceptance goes a long way towards making love stronger. ~ James
