Pronunciation: grime-reept

Sentence: Gemma felt she had become a grimereaper when her fourth husband dropped dead after she asked him to clear the table. Eerily, her previous three husbands had also fallen gravely ill and died when confronted with simple household chores.

Etymology: From old Aleutian "grymereept" used to describe lazy men who'd spend all day reading crime novels ignoring the litter, dirty crockery and food scraps piling up around them. It is completely coincidental that it is reminiscent of the "Grim Reaper".
