Pronunciation: non fol lee yer

Sentence: Colin was a nonfollyer and he wanted to ensure than his daughter, Colina, became a nonfollyer,too. Although he encouraged independence in her, the truth was they were so much alike, it was scary. She had his hair, skin and eye colours;matching outfits; liked the same foods and tv shows and of course the name thingy. If Norman Bates were a girl and Mrs., Bates was her Dad, that would describe Colin & Colina. He tried his best to teach her his values and for her to learn from his own poor examples, but Colina was going to be her own woman, no matter how much influence he thought he had over her. She decided long ago that her first order of business would be to move away from her Dad and leave their home, the Bates Motel...just in case a male Janet Lee ever came to stay with them...that would require Psycho-analysis for sure!

Etymology: non (not,not at all or in no way) & folly (foolish or senseless behavior;the trait of acting stupidly or rashly the quality of being rash and foolish;a stupid mistake) & follower (someone who travels behind or pursues another; one who imitates others)
